Really, so I guess the real estate market, inflation, taxes, the fact that my generation won't get a pension while we have to pay for older generations pensions, the fact that we are constantly ignored in political decisions because the Boomers only care for themselves, all that is somehow my fault or I am ignoring the fact that this is me doing this to me?

Interesting......

I love how the majority these "motivational" ideas are often incredibly black and white and have absolutely no depth to them at all. Like Barney Stinson's office wall.

What's really hilarious is that the boomers had "Social mobility". Single income households with excessive disposable income.

It was just meer luck that they grew up at the Perfect time. There was still "frontiers" to search for, and hire fresh grads for. When research didn't return "diminishing returns", etc.

Now? "Social mobility" practically doesn't exist. Cost of anything is too high if you started on the lower end to "work for your dreams".

You have control over certain things like getting a job that pays well.

You have control over your financial budget.

You also have control over how many bullshit excuses you make to pretend like everything is completely out of your control.

If you act mediocre, don’t complain about achieving mediocre results.
