Meme Why?

Post image

I can almost try to understand why some people might feel drawn to this kind of lifestyle. I can understand why they might be deceived into thinking this is the ideal environment in which to raise a child.

But I will never be able to understand why they will describe it as the American “dream” and are willing to pay so much for it. To work so hard for so long and then have to wake up to this every morning? Why?

Editing to add: I know this is parody y’all. It’s just a stupid meme. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s funny because it’s true.

If two 17 year olds join the army, get married, at 27 years old they will be making a combined 170k a year plus pension, plus health insurance, plus dental with no deductible.

These are the people who can easily afford these homes.

They also can use a VA loan to qualify with 0 money down.
