  • Every single generation gets accused of creating the worst children ever, and they were just so much better back in the day. It’s quite literally a tale as old as time.

    The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

    • Plato, ~400 BCE

    Yes the world is getting harder everyday but yes It’s all still a choice for now.

    Do you think I wanted to up root my entire life? Move 7 hours away from where I grew up? Leave all of my friends and family? To live 30 minutes away from the city where I don’t know anyone? I didn’t in case that isn’t clear. But this was the only path forward to getting out from under someone’s thumb with rent.

    I had to use a credit card to pay for moving, it took 4 years to pay that off.

    My down payment was pathetic so I will pay PMI for a long time.

    It’s not all rainbows and sunshine. The people who own homes are struggling too. Most people are struggling these days.
