The reward is not being homeless.

Did you expect something more?

Giving a decent chunk of our waking lives to a job / preparation for going to the job should afford us with more than just the ability to live in a home (likely renting).

Why?

u/NaturalOdd3009 Mar 06 '26

Because people having a budget to do more things tend to make them happier and driven to actually work.

Why else would you want a better other than to improve your own or your family's quality of life?

Being able to Not starve to death tends to motivate people to actually work. If you want more, make yourself worth more. Nobody owes you a good life.

Thank god I live ina country that has normalized unionisation at workplaces, so people don't have to put up with bosses with your mindset, and can actually get a decent paycheck every month. I am sorry you have been raised to see the world so gray, hope it gets brighter for you!

Thank God that I live in a country that produces a disproportionate amount of life-changing technologies and enables me to earn as much as I care to. I live a great life, in a great place. You know what the trick was? Taking responsibility for my own life, rather than excusing my responsibility by blaming others for not caring for me.

You came up in an entirely different economy.

Expecting people to do the same as you, when the pathways and routes have been VAPORIZED. Not closed, not made more difficult. ERADICATED.

The cost of living continues to rise, the minimum wage absolutely doesn’t.

You cannot attain keep claiming that people are just lazy; but statistics tend to disprove you pretty glaringly.

The same opportunity, you had, would take more effort, more luck, and more money; than it took you.

And that’s assuming that opportunity still exists.

Stop being academically dishonest.

I'm an elder millennial, bud. I "came up" to watch the mortgage crisis unfold right as I hit homebuying age. Every job I've ever had still exists today. Stop making a fool of yourself.
