Just ordered several bars online. Can’t wait to get them!

This is purely hypothetical, and not actually happening.

Say its a husband and wife. The husband is the primary bread winner. His annual salary is 150k. The wife just finished school and was offered her dream job. the catch, they need to move 2000 miles away. From one high cost of living area to another high cost of living area. the other catch, Her job is less than 50% of the husbands current income, at 45k annually. His job won't transfer him, and there aren't remote work options. Who should be expected to give up ones career? The husband? or the wife? at least until a better option presents.

I personally vote that the wife should wait for a better option. Especially considering the husbands salary is 3 times what she would make.

Like most, I started school at the age of 6 where we were required to attend 180 school days a year for the next 12 years of our life. With assloads of homework our parents struggled to help us with and even summer reading assignments, we were told if we worked hard and achieved good grades, success was paved ahead for us. Then, if that wasn't enough, we were strongly encouraged to attend postsecondary education to further our chances of success and have a competitive advantage.

Fast forwarding today, my generation is fucked royally. A large swath of us is reliant on our parents for housing and even finances. Then to rub salt in the wounds, many are graduating college with 4 year degrees still having to work fast food or wait tables. Even further, we are told that AI automation will cause a "white-collar bloodbath".

My mother told me one of her friends is less than 10 years from retirement and having to return to college for a different degree. Another friend of hers is having to pick up a job despite being disabled. This is a catastrophe.

If you are wondering why this whole phenomenon of NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) is on the rise among GenZ, look at all the lies and broken promises we were fed our entire lives.
