Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Chuck, As much as I hate to say this, this is a prime example of why America will not see the success it has in the past that you and many others may have seen. Our downfall will be within. I have noticed this same behavior while searching to fill two positions here in Indiana. My starting w

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Yeah, that’s a problem for sure. All the youth (and some adults) see online is prosperity and wealth and entitlement. Your definition of existing just doesn’t even come to their minds. To use a phrase, they literally don’t comprehend it. I was living happily in a one room apartment for $400 a

Too many parents want to be friends with their kids and not actually parent. Good news is, if you do a good job of parenting, you’ll likely have the opportunity out to become friends with your kids after they move out. Jeff Broadwick CTIconnect 312-205-2519 Office 574-220-7826 Cell jbroadw...@c

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

One of my millennial daughters, grown, married, trying to adult, lives with her brother and his wife told me that I just don’t understand how hard it is today compared to when I was younger. So I did a little comparison for her: My first paid job in 1976 was $2/hour. That would be about $10

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Some people would put me in the “millennial” category, but only just barely. I was 18 in 1998. Maybe that counts as “Gen Y” or some other thing, but it’s not something I personally identify with either way. At 18 I made minimum wage ($5.25) and shared an apartment with 5 other guys. A year

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Chuck, I'm going to assume you're not trying to cherry pick statistics and want to learn and listen. Housing is only one part of the equation. Food, services, fuel, goods are at all time highs. Rental markets are becoming unfeasible unless living with roommates. I'm not sure where or how this mob

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Not sure I am getting your point. Young people frequently struggle when starting out. The struggle is valuable. You get ahead by getting educated, getting trained, learning skills people will pay you for. You do not deserve anything but free air to breath and perhaps water if you live in an

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

Mr Ryan, the rental market has been unfeasible at minimum wage without roommates for my entire life. I lived with anywhere from 1-5 other people until I was 30. Even it was feasible without roommates, you'll save so much money by having them that it would be almost crazy not to. On Tue, Feb 14, 2

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

I wish you were closer. I'd send my son to you for that job to learn welding. He really wants to learn and my skills are pretty basic as I don't do it enough. I can get him started, but nothing like real work to get good. I worked 2 and three jobs while in high school and college. I had a sports sc

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

I think ages make a huge difference in a lot of this. If you're talking about a 17 year old, you're still living at home, saving all your money, trying to get out. Sure, $17 an hour would be amazing. If you're 22, you should be able to afford a 1br apartment on your own, you shouldn't need roommat

Everyone should struggle early on. If you don’t struggle early on and are spoon fed with societies mentally today you’ll create a never ending illusion for yourself that prevents fundamental growth as a human being. Nothing was affordable when my wife and I were in our 20s with 4 kids. It was a

Not defeatist or jealousy or envy. I’m 34, I bought a 2500sqft house on a green belt in 2013 (25 Years old). Sold my company, and I live an extremely comfortable life for someone my age. No mortgage, a couple nice cars. I worked very hard, lots of long nights, lots of learning to get to where I’m

Re: [AFMUG] FB Exchange

A lot of what is happening now can be attributed to housing imho. A house is your domain. The place you get things done. Your mind expands, you have more space to enjoy hobbies or learn something new. Personally, I don’t get that from an apartment when I have to worry about my neighbours and volum

One way to say it: "The youth of today cannot live on $15 an hour so a lot of candidates will not even walk through the door because other places even in the field of welding pay higher to start." Another way to say it: "The youth of today will not invest in themselves." On Tue, Feb 14, 2023 at
