Gen Z Can’t Afford the Rent

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

fixer uppers are pretty pricey as well

The cost of doing anything to our home is wild Lol. If you don't got people in your family or friends who are willing to do shyt on the low you are fukked

I'm working a profession that is lucrative and enjoyable. They have to make me take vacation days!! I 'work' about 20 hours/wk. in the field on salary and subcontract with local utility companies when I feel like it.....

Professional Home Energy Assessments

A home energy audit is the first step to assessing how much energy your home consumes and to deciding what measures you can take to make your home energy efficient and comfortable.

I have a BA. in Mech. Engineering that I paid for outta my own pocket just so I could train more Black people in my profession with less interference.

On the side, I repair PC's. A hobby that generates income steadily.

I am neither a 'fakkit', 'ignorant', 'bitter', nor 'working my ass off'.

You sound angry. Must be about time to pay your rent.​

All that and you still renting and I don’t gotta pay a lot on the rent, I was lucky my mom ain’t kick me out when I graduated so I gotta fat ass savings and I’ll be graduating college soon

You definitely being an ignorant fakkit for ignoring the rising prices across America and how it’s impossible for us to move out unless you wanna struggle though. This country is falling apart and you old ass nikkas will just repeat the same “pull yourself by the bootstraps, and work 2 jobs till your body gives out” talk

OLD nikkas

 

[the elastic]

its true fam

i be giving dudes actual financial models and investment memos i've built...telling them to use them s guides and to come at me with their ideas so that if i intro them to people in my firm they can show their skills. unfortunately nobody's done it

i used to sit in my bed room in hot ass summer days without AC teaching myself how to do financial models, research stocks, and shyt; it led me to where i'm at today

these young bucks just aint hungry enough and entitled a lot of the time

What's the minimum amount I need to invest and how long do I have to wait for a return?

I been wanting to do that stock shyt but I'm not tryna hold on to no damn corporate shares for 10 years.

I worked in the high end AV industry. I installed home automation systems in mansions along side most trades (HVAC, Electricians, Plumbers, Carpenters, etc) The number of trade jobs are small, their pay is not keeping up with inflation, and they are forced to retire earlier than STEM grads due to the effect the work has on their bodies. Again, its "Learn to Code 2.0" Its just a meme comment. It can work as personal advice to an individual, but as I've written many times prior, there aren't enough trade jobs to suffice a fraction of the workers looking for viable careers.

You left out two other options: Military & Law Enforcement. There's also a shortage of tradesmen across the Nation and, due to automation, a LOT of what caused early retirement is no longer applicable.....

The way to bypass this is to pool money/build with family. But that’s WHY they introduced SOCIAL MEDIA. To condition the average person to become HYPER NARCISSISTIC and be on some “I’ll do it on my own” to DETER people from thinking this way.

It’s OVER!

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

All that and you still renting

Because I want to. Don't need/require all the space or hassle of a house.

You're still trying to 'stunt' and keep failing.

Do you have dementia? Where in my post was I stunting??? I’m just noting the fact that I’m building myself up for a good future, since you think every gen z nikka don’t work for some reason

Every single post from you trying to put me down, and failing, including this one.​

You’re right about everything you said

Family is one of the best wealth gathering tools. It’s shame people don’t know how to use it

You’re right. Most people cannot do this economy on their own. It’s like trying to solo a game of warzone when everyone else is moving in 4’s.

This isn't news.

There is clearly a plan to turn the US into a renter's nation and it's extremely effective.

If I took it to far that’s my bad, I ain’t saying you a failure you got a whole ass degree in engineering, so it’s obvious you smart but you showing ignorance in this thread. There’s gen z nikkas living though this shyt,and literal data spanning through the years showing that shyt is rough out here and getting gradually worse, yet you’re blind to the shyt because of the era you grew up in.
Let’s face it, back than it was far easier to build yourself up right after you graduate and live on your own, you can’t do that now and that is a fact.

There's a conspicuous effort to keep the history of labor rights in this country under wraps as well as to hide stories of successful slave escapes and revolts.

Most people don't know who Lucy and Albert parsons are or anything about John brown or the Maroons. They don't want people growing up learning about the times where people have fought back and were literally killed because they wanted to be treated like human beings instead of livestock.

The Labor Wars

They keep saying the [white] military fought for our rights but they shot women and children in workers camps here. The only soldiers who fought for rights here were black ones after the world wars

I have NO reason to buy a house.

Now, we’ve had a spirited back and forth on other topics today but this I can agree with. I’m the same way. My time in the military made me a nomad and I love that lifestyle. I don’t plan on ever getting married again and planting my flag somewhere sounds depressing. I love moving every 3-4 years.

People need to real their history books again.

People don’t know that riots are a part of American tradition. Not saying do them, but they eventually happen over here

Every time one happens people act so surprised.
