54k is barely a living wage these days. You CAN live on it, but you can't expect to start a family or buy a house or achieve anything resembling The American Dream.
Depends on where you live. Some parts of America are dirt cheap, including housing. Although those areas typically have shit wages too.
Shit wages, shit school systems, shitheel neighbors. Like I said, far from the "American Dream".
Yep you definitely answered it right there.
Sure it's cheap, but there's no local opportunities and might be a desert for quality food. Much of rural United States is still not covered by (reliable / affordable) broadband, either.
Dirt cheap places have dirt cheap wages.
Im replying to your blanket comment that boomers in general have it easier which they absolutely dont. You like to cherry pick the happy ending stories where boomers sit on their manegerial high chairs like crying babies and choose to ignore that MOST people are struggling right now, boomer or not. Dont discredit hard work.
The boomers had everything easier than we do today aside from the ability to gather information. This ability, by the way, is how we know they had it easy. They're the true participation trophy generation, and honestly it's hard for me to tell the difference between a boomer and a high end projector, since they both only do the same thing, it's just the projector has inherent value.
You want to live the official lifestyle your grandparents had? Move to Mozambique and dont look at the internet for 30 years. They are just starting to move to first world status (50 years ago) can get that good old fashioned projector/participation trophy you dream of. I am sure you can easily work your way to the top.
How to reduce your sodium intake
Five simple actions for a healthier, lower sodium eating pattern:
Stop being a bitch on the internet.
Thanks for the advice. I actually have low sodium so my doctor prescribed the opposite of this already. Suck my dick bud, you can get your low sodium that way
I'm sorry did I miss the headline where Mozambique's previous generation came out on top after a globally devastating world war, and they had a bunch of fat happy peacetime babies, propelling their now-boomed population to an economic superpower status where there's so many jobs and hard work is rewarded with fair pay for a balanced family life? Are they about to invent another Internet?
Are their families just trying out and starting up businesses? Can their kids save up for a brand new car by working at the local factory or restaurant?
Wowee it's amazing the gems you can find on this planet if you look hard enough!
The only notable Mozambique that comes to mind is the one that would make sure these neo-gilded-age crapbags stay down after selling all of us out, generation after generation, including poor boomers who didn't get so lucky.
Oh, Mozambique? The Mozambique that is "disappearing" journalists who try and investigate the dirty "counter-insurgency" operation happening in the north of the country because the Moz government is intent on allowing Total to loot it's energy reserves at the expense of the local populace?
Yeah, Clyde... that sounds totally 1st world to me. Totally not a country still at the beck and call of the Global North's exploitation at all.
Maybe some boomers don't now, but relatively speaking they absolutely DID have it easier when they were my age.
I'm not discrediting hard work. I'm simply stating the fact that "hard work" 50 years ago was apparently worth more than "hard work" today.
The person you're replying to used to be named PatFussy.
I wouldn't engage with them if I were you. They cleaned up their act a little bit with the new handle, but they still just routinely say dumb shit.
Lol wow i say things not in your dickass b cluster club and so i should be avoided. Congratulations, you have officially had your first dialogue with someone outside of your bubble. I bet you would rather I name myself xXx420KillAllPolice69xXx am i right? Smash that bell icon for more racist bullshit takes.
