Millenial men from 25-34 are less likely to work than before.

I don't blame them.

The first thing we need to do is prioritize a 30 hour work week. That may sweeten the deal for more people to want to work.

But some industries don't pay like they used to either. Law students make less than six figures on average now for all the school they put in.


But automation coming though so folks may not have a say at all either way.

Also people are on this financial independence tip and that's the direction I'm going right now.

It's amazing how well they built this machine behind everyone's back but in their face at the same time. Destroying the family system. Making women feel like they don't need men. Producing children with the same mindstate. They set it up so well that they'll profit no matter what. Ton of men with no money and nothing to do? That's cool. No money means they can't afford a decent attorney. We'll find them something to do once we get them behind bars...
This is true. That's why women get lighter prison sentences. A male going to prison isn't going to be seen as a loss to society because they make them do lots of community service whereas women are needed to birth kids.

Lying ass :mjlol:
We're you born in the 60s?:mjlit:



:russ: ive been hearing this line for 30 years...yes women 100 years ago were told this....if you were born in the 70s up to current time...no one has been telling women this. Women in occupations such as teaching, nursing and social work get into it because they want to.

Just going by the article. If you take a look at the work force, generation by generation; the number people who actually work has shrunk as social welfare programs have increased. I'm not sure that there is a cause and effect relationship there

tl;dr: started saving money while I was working, lived way below my means, even lived in a truck for awhile. once I had $5,000 saved, I started investing. kept saving and adding funds to it, the rest is history :blessed:

it takes sacrifice and discipline to retire at 40, that's why most people don't. but it's entirely doable, even on minimum wage.
The military has allowed me to save up 80k. When I get out I should have 90k saved up. Don't know what to do with it since the GI bill will pay for college. I know nothing about investing in the stock market either.

hiring for a lot of dumb local (especially government) jobs is idiosyncratic they already have someone in mind, probably a girl who got a 3.3 from the local state u, smart enough but will fall in line, has ties to the community, etc, basically a clone of everyone who already works there

you're better off targeting careers with structured recruiting / paths to entry where you're not at the mercy of one idiot's hiring preferences

I'd much rather fall short of {a good med school, Wall Street, engineering at Google} and land somewhere below that through the same basic path {carribean MD or DO school, some kind of corp finance gig, a startup} than be tryna figure out how to get into basic, small companies and gov offices who have opaque criteria and hire people's nephews
What's DO school?

Leverage that money and get some rental properties. If you got it like that you can have someone else manage them if you don't wanna make it your life.
