Sadly my friend, you're absolutely right. You're getting hosed along with the others. Every time the Fed cranks up the money printers for more government spending, your dollar takes a hit-shrinking and weakening bit by bit. Remember when a burger set you back a mere 10 cents? We can only ask our grandparents about that. But us? We're forking over ten bucks for the same damn thing- and the quality is terrible compared to what it us to be. It's all out of control- I feel your pain..

My daughter is twenty and I often wonder if she has a clue about spending. The debt has fallen on us as parents, but in fairness to her, we taught her how to spend. Our habits became hers. We have good jobs to backup our spending, but in today’s world, it’s difficult to find a job right out of college to afford anything. My generation was taught to work hard, pursue and advance. Young adults these days can’t work hard enough and their American dream isn’t happening at this point.

We've groomed our kids into top-tier consumers-everyone knows Americans are the undisputed champs when it comes to spending. But flip the coin, and you'll see a huge void: do our kids know about saving? Europeans have a leg up on us there, but it's the folks in China who really get it right when it comes to saving their income. We’re a breed of spenders, not savers, and that's all well and good when the economy’s riding high-I'm talking a real economy, not one propped up by cooked stats and endless money printing. But fast forward to this current generation: how do you stash away savings when you're scraping by just to cover the basics? The system’s rigged, and it's our kids’ futures that are taking the hit. We’ve got to change this before the whole house of cards comes down.

You mean the members of that younger generation who do not become tradesmen or technicians or learn skills which lead to decent pay?

Let's cut through the noise, schools are peddling the same old narrative: hit the books, head to college, get a degree, and land that office job. But let’s face it, when was the last time your guidance counselor told you to pick up a wrench or wire a house? The reality is, we've got a generation of tradesmen aging out-plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians. And those young guns stepping in? They’re killing it. It's high time trade schools got the spotlight they deserve. Thanks for the comment!

I have little money and there’s lots of cockroaches in the house. I put out some Advion tho and that should help

Financial Literacy aint no joke tho, i can see why the average gen zr is in mountains of debt, it took me many years to get on track, imagine a young adult who only follows tik tok advice, sometimes even to tell them to spend. lol wherever you are, gtfo of debt and cut up them credit cards cause its gonna be a sad day soon.

Financial literacy is a rigged game, and it's no accident. They'll drill STEM into your head, but dare ask about balancing a budget or the intricacies of interest rates, and you get crickets. Schools are assembly lines for worker bees, not financial warriors. Here's the real reality: they want us in debt. Thanks for the comment!
