      @paulstandaert5709 Місяць тому +163

      I have done the math numerous times over the decades. Overall, many things are now more expensive, but on the other hand, many things are not.
      Some things are for certain:
      1.) 25 years ago, we only had 1 telephone per household. 2 lines if you were lucky. now we have a phone line for each person in the household and the telephones themselves get broken and crap whereas that rotary dial phone hung on the wall for 50 years and doubled as a weapon.
      2.) As a kid in the 1980s, air conditioning was something only the well-off had. Now, every trailer in America has that.
      3.) air conditioning was optional equipment on cars in the 80s. Now regulations require a half dozen air bags, antilock brakes, stability control, etc. Cruise control was optional back then. Immobilizers barely existed. This all costs and is expected now. People literally can't figure out how to get anywhere without a GPS to tell them where to go these days. Would YOU buy a car without air conditioning?
      4.) Houses are bigger than ever. Like cars, building them is plagued with rules and regulations that push the costs UP.
      5.) Internet? What's that? $75/mo? Why?
      6.) Even in the 1990s, satellite dishes were these big monstrosities. Now it's this little 18" dish and the trailer parks are littered with them.
      7.) Getting on a plane and going somewhere was a rich people thing. Now, WHO HASN'T been on an airplane NUMEROUS times?
      I can go on all day long with this stuff. The truth is that people spend like never before, and there is a growing gap between "upper middle" class and lower class. So, yes things are expensive, but at the same time, people buy crap they don't need like there is no tomorrow.
      It's not as bad as people are lead to believe.

      ​@paulstandaert5709 Internet has become a utility this day in age. Just because it wasn't then doesn't mean it is now. Yes you can have it cheaper where you don't have to stream Netflix. But it's how the world communicates now.
      No? Well their are older generations from the past that could of applied the same line of thinking to running water or electricity.

      @paulstandaert5709 Місяць тому +11

      @jamesbridges6502 yep, and the Internet is a perfect example of how things have become cheaper and easier these days.
      Hell, my phone bill is $25/mo with unlimited everything. I could literally turn off that utility and tether my cellular phone and get by quite well. My landline was $33/mo back in 2003.
      So... As I have concluded, it is not a necessary utility.

      I agree. If you start out with nothing and yet somehow start to actually build a life for yourself, there are still some sacrifices having to be made since we aren't the generation that got married by 20 and had a house with a white picket fence, a dog and two or three children by 25. Instead, many are still having parents living with them while trying to make a life of their own which may consist of limited space when going the multi-generational household route (using myself as an example, though.)

But nothing in this video explains anything you got miss princess with everything she ever wanted arguing with someone who bought a house at the price of under a down payment needed to start a mortgage on one today it just doesn't make sense. I just wish they would show the in person people who work daily to make ends meet and yea someone in your case where you have to live with family in multiple generations just to get by.

If you have parents that love you and have the space Its 100% understandable that you would want to stay with them and save up money.

      That's the thing with these news segments though: media never gave a damn about real poor people. This keeps making the news because lot of the people complaining about cost of living actually grew up with their middle class parents and grandparents, who got lucky after the WW2 manufacturing boom. They're now joining the reality that nobody in history anywhere has easily afforded a house; the American middle class resulted from WW2 and isn't normal. So now Millennials and Gen-Z, used to that default middle class lifestyle, feel "poor" because they aren't making the 6 figures that social media influencers are.

      The only way to get affordable living is by moving away from developed towns. I work at a warehouse and couldn't afford any of the houses near the big city. So I moved 3 hours out, got a house for 70k, a job that pays $22/hr and only 5 min. drive away.
      Btw, the house I got was abandoned for 8 years. I spent about 1 month fixing it up to get it livable (kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom in good condition) and then an additional 2 months until I could get it was presentable to invite others over (water heater, AC, and replaced bathtub/water lines).
      Its a stuggle, if I could recommened 1 thing to the young people. Get a job in construction. I worked with my brother inlaw on odd jobs and he taught me a lot about fixing up houses/remodeling. There is no greater payment than knowledge.

    Kicking kids out at 18 never made sense in the first place nowhere else in the world other than America does it. The cultural reasons for kicking kids out at 18 came from a time when boomers were young adults and rent was $71 a month. Now that rent is literally 25x that amount it's time cultural norms change too.

    I am sure if these young kids were willing to live the way I did at their age they could also have their own place. My first home was barely an improvement on a tent. It was a beach cabin and almost a complete tear down and we did all the work ourselves and had very low income. Flash forward a decade and numerous homes later we built our dream house as well as a thriving business. It just takes time, focus and teamwork. I think it is sad that young people aren't seeing the struggle as an adventure. I can't relate to wanting to start out in a house equivalent to my parents. Maybe in ten years, but not to start out.

Ghost job applications are also used to keep a list of candidates incase anyone quits or is fired, give the impression the company is growing, or give overworked employees in the company the impression there is intention to bring more people into the company. It's likely many of those applications were for ghost positions that aren't actually needing to be filled, and the ones that do need to be are looking for incredibly unrealistic criteria for the position and pay.

      It's not necessarily shamed the way you might think a bad behavior such as being rude would be shamed. People are understanding when you have to live at home while being a young adult but it's considered something like "well that sucks you can't manage to get out but understandable". Like if a guy still lives with parents/family a girl is going see that as a negative factor for dating, like you couldn't manage to figure out a way to live on your own is not a good sign.
      Personally I think it would have been a real drain on my mental health to stay at home because it's in a rural area, small, packed/cluttered with crap, and noisy. Even though I have a mostly remote job the internet would have barely sufficed, and I wouldn't really be able to play games which is a huge pastime for me. It does make me a little sick to think how much money I would have saved right now though lol.

      LoL at the average price, definitely depending on where you live. My parents bought a house when I was born in the San Francisco Bay Area for 25k in 1975, and it was largely done with saved up money so there was no 30 year mortgage either. Now that same house, which I'm now in possession of (but not as my residence) could get over a million, now granted in most of the rest of the country that's a fixer upper, and honestly shouldn't be more than 300k but location, location, location... and it's not even in a "rich" area either. Part of me waffles over selling versus the rent income, for now at least the rent is a nice supplement.

    • @SweBeach2023
      @SweBeach2023 Місяць тому +1

      It all depends on the cost of running the house as well as the financial cost. It wasn't uncommon for people in the eighties to spend a fifth on their net earnings on heating alone. Today it's more like 3-5 percent if living in a modern house with proper isolation and an efficient heating system such as a heat pump.
      So just comparing the cost of the house as a share of income is foolish since it only captures a small share of the total cost of ownership.

It’s not a question of affordability-both my parents are engineers with stable careers-but rather a cultural tradition. This way of life has allowed my grandparents to take care of me, cook for me daily, and take me to school and museums. Now that I’m about to graduate in medicine, I would love to continue living with my family. Why should I live alone? This arrangement doesn’t harm the economy either. Instead of buying a new house to furnish, for example, my parents bought a vacation home by the sea. Maybe I’ll buy another vacation home or even a boat! We simply choose to spend our salaries differently, often more wisely than renting an apartment. By doing so, we’re able to build our family’s wealth, passing it down through generations

      It was also a "family lives together" community thing. The quasi-US/Canada thing where the media told us that we "have to own our own home in the nuclear 4 person family (1 couple, 2 kids)" and how the kids have to get kicked out of the house and be independent is actually very new. Like 1950's post WWII era new. (Yes, you can partially blame the US government for this, in a method to keep perpetuating and fueling domestic economic growth and consumer spending, since well, moving out = spending more money).
      For the rest of the world, kids generally live with their parents, or an extended family (ala village), and only move out if room runs out or they have to, for job opportunities'.

    The smartest move is to NOT MOVE OUT. Stop believing the narrative you have to obtain a mortgage or pay high rent and put yourself in debt. Stay in the house. That’s the smartest move. Save your money. If anything add an addition to the house. Kids, grandkids, spouses, if your parents agree make it a family dynamic. Help with the bills and parents NEVER sell the house! Kids repeat the same family dynamic with your kids and so on and so on…
    Live rent and mortgage free, stay out of debt, travel, enjoy life, enjoy your family. You’ll all be happier and healthier!
