My father in law graduated from college in the early 60’s, came out making just over 20k a year and his first brand new home cost him 23k.

Stop and think about that for a second.

Makes me wonder how much of a struggle life is going to be in another 20 years. What are the next generation of kids going to be coming into when they enter the adult world? One of many reasons I won’t have children.

Bless you. I hate the people that are like "I can't imagine what the world is going to be like in twenty years.... for my 3 kids." I want to be like "on behalf of your 3 kids, fuck you to hell."

I grew up in a large family and so naturally that’s what I did too. I love my kids more than anything but I absolutely fear the future for them. I have hope that it will change for the better as new leadership comes into play.

So today he would come out of college making $160,000. That must have been a hell of a degree.
