Racial segregation

Couldn't vote... pretty much all this shit is dead as far as I'm concerned. You can look at my age and consider me Gen X or the beginnings of millennials. I find my beef with boomers though. They had it so easy and just assume everybody else after them did too. I'm looking at gen Z having to couple up and get an apartment together with another couple just to survive but then this old man is still talking shit like "Just go to college and you'll be rich" ... yeah man... college is affordable to kids that work a McDondald's job still... thanks for your advice. Obviously, the reality is different, but you can't talk sense into them. Nothing has changed in their minds. Not all... but too many.

People are retiring later, inflation has something to do with it. I may never retire, retire and do what? Some of us will be so worn out we will sit and die.

[USLegionary]

@BLP11520 boomers could drop out of college for a few years and f*ck about then go back get their degree and still get a good paying job.

[BLP11520]

I make 80,000 a year, my wife draws 900 something a month SSA

[BLP11520]

Inflation has hurt my buying power.

[BLP11520]

People think make under 50,000 I chuckle. I tell few people. saying it here is ok I suppose. 80,000 did not come easy.

[USLegionary]

@BLP11520 imagine how much you'd have made in the boomer era

[BLP11520]

Right

I was going to say landlines but cable will probably be it.

[OddBeMe]

Well both are connected, but yes landlines is a good one. Should be Cable/Landlines. Since they love bundling.

Old tv is already dead.

[OddBeMe]

My wife wants to watch MLB games live and they force you to buy a direct tv package to do it. Thats how theyre staying live.

[dustybiker]

They each have that *one* thing you want.

[Nikki1989]

TV died a long time ago.

Marriage.

[OddBeMe]

Well, i thought that too, but it milennials at least have embraced this at least as a govt paper work tradition. Lol

[msc545]

I have friends that have been basically raped by their wives in divorces. No way in hell would I do that.

[OddBeMe]

I guess. My wife makes as much as me, so a court would literally just prob annull our marriage and have us collect what's ours. Maybe there's some arbitration about the TV or the cat but thats pennies.

That''s why I say marry someone who's as ambitious as you.

[msc545]

A lot of men think that if there is no differential in income or property, they won't get screwed. They are wrong. The wild card is that family law courts are courts of equity, and Judges, most of whom seem to be white knights, can get away with many unfair rulings as a result. Appeals are lost mainly by the Appellant, and they take a long time and cost a fortune, which means if the Judge violates your rights you really have almost no practical recourse. Judges routinely violate men's rights in order to pander to women. If you go to family law court in the US, be prepared to lose a lot of money, your home, and access to any children you may have.

Marriage is a completely shit deal for men.
