We’re red-circling posts from REDDIT now?!

The quality of the internet diminishes daily.

It's nothing new, even on reddit.

I hated it there, and I hate it here.

I managed to break the curse and am far more successful than my parents. It happened through a lot of hard work, persistence, a lot of luck, a hefty gift from my ex’s rich aunt and uncle, and even more luck.

Anyone can do it.

Funny thing is, my career is more successful than my parents but their pensions are still more than I earn lmao

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I'm glad your doing well man

The American dream lives on. God bless you, sir.

Best I can do is working day job, streaming at night and winning only the cost of a scratcher back everytime. 🍀💰

Who do you think bought my car? My parents? Please.

It was their parents

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

My grandparents have been bailing my parents out of financial trouble their entire lives. Me? I got some cash for a down payment on a house, and I presently make more than ny parents do combined

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

All FOUR grandparents, right?

RIGHT?

Doing better than my boomer parents? Hahahahaha

I'll settle for just doing better than a majority of my millennial peers.

GenX checking in to say: Same.

It's fucking insane. With the exception of a few of my peers, we're all highly skilled, some with over a decade of experience, some with two incomes, and there's no way any of us can afford to buy a house in the area we work anymore. The only ones who did bought their houses right after school with help from their parents. Rent sure, own a home, not a chance here. So either rent forever, commute more, live with our parents, or find another job. It's a rock and a hard place.

My parents were bad with money. No terrible, just mad. So I am doing better!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Perhaps they had better grammar and spell check

Perhaps they had no money because they spended everything in fancy spell chack

Same. I'm doing better, but man the bar was low.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Im doing better for only two reasons. One, I found out I'm pretty damn good at sales and make a pretty good living doing it.

And two, I don't have and don't plan on having kids. Those things are expensive.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

I'm doing better than my parents but only because in post Soviet times my family was even poorer, so it's sorta been gradually improving over the generations. I was able to get better education, better job than my parents ever had an actual opportunity to. But they did try very hard to set me and my sister up with that opportunity, so I'm grateful for that.

Lol, I’m doing a bit better than my parents were while they were paying for chemo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

I hope they're doing well now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I'm definitely doing better than my parents. But they were horrible with money so it's not like it was a high bar.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

A lot better but only because the communists took my mother's family's business and property mao-clap

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

My mother in law lives with us because of her crushing medical debt. I could go and ask her what she thinks but I think I know the answer.

[–] Kecessa 5 points 11 months ago

I'm doing better because they had kids, they didn't have a pension plan, they didn't have all the safety nets we've got now (no parental leave at all compared to a full year now), they got out of school right when interest rates were extremely high and unemployment too, the list goes on and on...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

This thread is getting a little humble brag bootstrappish. It's probably better to ask this again in a month after the student loan payments really hit.
