This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I graduated in 1984 when unemployment was 10% and minimum wage was $3.35/hr. My friends and I all left the burbs for the inner city and we would live 5-7 of us in a house. Nonskilled jobs were more plentiful and there was public transportation. Sometimes we had a land line phone, never had cable. Plenty of parties and beer though. Don't know if this helps anybody but it's how we got by
I am really shocked when I hear these budgets that more people aren't trying communal living, or at least roommates. When I was young and broke, that is what I did.
Genuinely tho I think the economy is why it seems like everyone 20-35 is in a polycule.
Yeah for all of the talk about socialism and communism. We never used those words, just did it out of necessity. It's not for everyone. Some cities now have laws limiting how many nonrelated people can live in a house. Mostly brought on by immigrants and xenophobia.
