@@luisluis5306this is sadly what capitalism does.. Capitalism is completely wrong
It wasn't GenX, or Boomers, it was liberals.
And leftists infiltrated the university system, via boomers. And they spread from there.
no, it was the money printing. Playing left on right is exactly what the money printers want you to keep doing. Distraction from the real problem.
@@MrRem7600 A lot of people claim they’re distracting us, but a distraction is only needed if the population has the ability to do anything. We don’t. They could literally send the fed chairman out to say “we just print money to devalue the currency” and no one would do a damn thing. Oh wait. The fed chairman says that shit all the time. And what did we do?
@@americandissident9062 we can choose to opt out of their system. Simple as that. There is a solution and something you can do right now. Start using Bitcoin. Millions of people already do - and more people are waking up every day and realizing you no longer need to play by their rules.
@@americandissident9062 youtube deleting my comments - i'll try again. We already have the solution and we can peacefully opt out very simply. Start using Bitcoin. Millions of people already do and many more are waking up every day and realizing you can choose an alternative.
It's no secret. Back in the 60s and 70s, a man could make an average salary, and easily afford to buy a house, cars, and feed his family. Now, an average salary is barley enough to cover one person.
Was never easy, didnt have a cell phone, didnt have credit cards and wore converse shoes, didnt pay cable or wifi, roomed with a buddy split rent. In a less than desireable apartment.. moved furniture as a side job and sometime barbacked and cleaned the bar after closing on weekends...
Really i had $80 left over the week i saved , yes eventually i made more the OLDER & MORE KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE i gained, remember young folks every year is the least you will make, its tough but be tougher you can do it !!
@@scottbaker8530 The dollar isnt worth as much today as it was decades ago. Stop with the non-sense. This is such a boomer fkin take by Rich.
absolute BS
@@benjaminandre9339 from a man living in a basement at his parents house.
She's not wrong in her complaint - the social contract that she was sold failed her.
This is definitely 110% the fault of those who control the currency (and those that they answer to).
You can't vote these problems out...
in America too many young people are taught to earn degrees and not acquire wealth, they end up broke or trapped this way, schools are factories for BS mostly
She IS WRONG.
Crying for entitlements doesn't make her case.
She's wearing a WALMART vest.
She makes 10 times what I do when I go to the self checkout to avoid seeing her seething attitude towards me when I did nothing to her.
If she wants a better, more well paying job, she needs to use her brains [doubtful] or her body [even more doubtful].
But when I do her job without ANY pay for it, I should be asking her to help pay MY room and board.
Who sold her this social contract? How did it fail her? Because she has to work and isn't fabulously rich right away? There has never been some sort of social contract that was any better for young people just entering the work force.
Feminism failed her.
There is no such contract.
And, 20 years ago, a Walmart cashier couldn't pay their bills, either. Minimum wage jobs have NEVER paid the bills. Not 20 years go. Not 40 years ago. Not 100 years ago. NEVER.
Why is this a thing?
Feminism? These problems aren't just felt by women. This isn't a feminist problem all people of all colors of all genders are feeling this. Even in my home state Texas where standard of living is higher than most states it's impossible to live off of one income that's not in a specialist job description. 50k a year in many places is STILL too little. And it was society as a whole who sold this contract not just Democrats. Republicans keep saying(I'm repub btw) to just suck it up and work harder. But there isn't any time to work harder after a 40+ hour work week. The buying age for a house is now 45+. Most people my age are hoping to GOD that the market crashes like 2008 so we can finally afford things again.@@Bgrosz1
Money making is easy after the first 100k once you know how.
But to be fair, my dad used to work as a plumber in his 20’s and my mom took care of me and my brothers. He was able to comfortably provide for his family, bought a good house, have 2 cars, go on holidays, etc….
That’s not possible today. I have my own business and I do well but my guys, eventhough I pay them above average, need a two income household to stay afloat. You can work 60 hours a week but you’ll just get taxed big time.
So yeah, she ranting craziness but she isn’t completely wrong.
Capitalism is the best model, but it is like a game of Monopoly.
The games kind of over at this stage, given you want to buy a square, you can, but old Kent Road is now Mayfair prices.
At some point, players are going to flip the board.
Yeah I was just thinking this. 30 years ago, my dad was a bus driver and was able to buy a brand new single family home for 170k and raised my 4 siblings and my mom stayed home. Not possible today.
@@0ccam5Raz0rI don't think we have real capitalism anymore. Government regulation has killed competition in a lot of areas and created companies they consider "too big to fail". That's become a real problem.
A plumber could support a wife and 2 kids, IF they were very conservative with their money today. Taxes would be low, married with 2 dependents as well.
@@Speed-dw6qp Cronyism. And when you figure out that all the cronies have something really important in common, you’ll feel a lot more sympathy for our children and what they’re up against.
‘My father, who was Irish, was sent to work at the age of 11. He liked that I got myself a job. He used to say that American kids were spoiled lazy.’ Goodfellas (1990). Very apt.
Getting a job at age 11 is the sign of a horrific society. Imagine being proud of that.
Empire has it's price. 800 military bases around the world aren't cheap.
I am from Canada, we don't have military bases around the world and we are not faring any better. In fact, I would argue Canada is faring worse than USA. The biggest issue is the west in general has been voting for kick the can down the road policies for over a decade. From currency debasement to uncheck mass immigration (both legal and illegal) to not investing in infrastructure.
@@mrguiltyfool the big difference between Canada and the US is, that the US can print (unlimited quantities) of the world's reserve currency, while Canada lives under the arduous restraint of having to generate income. Absolutely not comparable.
She has a few good points. It is tougher today for sure.
About 2005 was the start of the parting of ways between wages and cost of living.
And they're wearing the same coat 🧥
Well, Rich , I get your point .
I am, however, empathetic for the young lady in the post.
The available job options that I enjoyed choosing from in the are, for the most part, gone these days.
I've had to reinvent myself a few times in my life in the construction trades. And now, at 55 years of age, I find myself reinventing myself again. I am far from lazy, and yet I am once again caught up in an underemployed situation in my craft. This doesn't stop me from looking for work elsewhere. As I apply for jobs, I can see how difficult the process has become.
When I was her age, I was able to at least meet the person doing the hiring and shake their hand after filling out the application.
Nowadays, you're lucky if you get to evan talk to anyone, thanks to the online application process.
My father raised 8 kids with a stay at home wife and bought an acre of land in Paso Robles, California , built a 3,500 square feet home on a Safeway Grocery Store Maniger salary. I challenge anybody to do that today.
@@gregmacklin9758not sure what's Rich story here, he's acting like a capitalist 🐷 that doesn't have empathy to the issues of real working people, in this case only because she's a woman
@@0ccam5Raz0r Not even close. Try early 1980’s after China opened up in the mid-1970’s and CEO compensation started to decouple from the average worker. Wages stagnated in the early 1990’s.
I'm 49. I have always had a good job. The problem with the economy is the government and with its reckless spending, full stop.
I worked night shift at a casino full time while going to college full time during the day after 4 years in the military at that age. I worked every weekend and holiday. Many casino employees didn’t like me because I studied on my breaks and would call me “College Boy” and talk about me behind my back because I stopped going out with them after work. My grades declined a semester for partying. Do what’s necessary to better your own life.
Can't be denied gen z is born into a crappy situation.
I am fearful for my kids and those who are starting out in this messed up world. Where I am from a house you could buy 20 years ago for 300,000 is over 1.5 million and wages haven't really moved a lot. Rent used to be affordable and now even that is out of reach for many.
Oh, it can be denied and I deny it.
I do prefer the situation I was born into ('75), but only marginally. Her situation is vastly preferable to 99.9999% of all of humanity throughout history. To say she was born into a crappy situation is to say nearly every human who ever existed was born into a crappy situation.

She's not wrong. How is it we went from one income, from a regular job, that's capable of affording a house, 2 cars, 3 kids and a stay at home wife to not being able to afford to live alone with a full time job?
Our money is broken, and that is the cause of her problem. Bitcoin fixes that!

🌈THE MORE YOU KNOW🌟
that ended long ago, I'm 68, even in my 20s it was hard to make it one salary
Correct. Also working at a place like walmart where employees are treated like shit from management and often times customers doesn't help.
Walmart is not a regular job....................its a starter job, you know, like Mcdonalds.
Your half right. Her patents and grandparents stole her future by borrowing for a lifestyle they were unwilling to pay for themselves. But the currency has been debauched and along with it the social contract.
She is also extremely wrong thinking it was easy to make ends meet for a low skilled female in the previous generations.
@@savageinstitute9569 I get that but we've hit the wall. If she understood how we got here she'd be even more despondent.
@@michaelgoyer I agree with that Michael.
Lmao no.
"Stole her future"??? Have you lost your mind? Her parents and grandparents didn't benefit from government debt; just lazy, shiftless bums did. The kind who complain that min wage is beneath them.
The key words "live alone". I had roommates that I didn't want to have after saving 50% of my income for some 20 years to dig my way out of being essentially homeless before my first job. Who works 40 hrs a week? I see these people buying $12 cocktails and shots on their student loan money...I am out of sympathy for people who have no self discipline and/or delayed gratification.
I have 2 roommates and make around $100k atm. I can afford my own place but my rent and utilities are $730 instead of $2,000
Much respect, David
Of course you know, nobody whatsoever would accept this girl as a roommate with even one day of this screaming voice.

Bingo!
Not all taxation though right? The government should provide basic services right?
Way to dodge any of the real problems with our economy Rich. Your dollar had way more purchasing power 20-30 yrs ago than it does today.
She does have a point to a degree, inflation going through the roof while wages stay stagnant, everything is much less affordable then it used to be on the same wages.
But in saying that, of course you're not going to get rich working at Walmart, she needs to get about that hustle life.
But i agree, accountability is a huge issue these days and its not only gen z that has that problem.
@andrewmarkel6362
💯% true
Not many people understand that inflation is what is to blame.
The USA national debt has an interest payment that must be paid, each year ... and that payment increases every year.
This is an un-sustainable trajectory.
I know people who graduated with me from high school. We graduated in 2007. Had the same opportunities as everyone in our school. I have my own business, own 3 homes and have a great career. Meanwhile the people from high school are living with their parents and complaining all the time on social media on how they can’t get ahead. People make excuses for themselves, and blame everyone else for their own laziness.
Not everyone can be a business owner though. I will say that many of these complainers do waste money on stupid shit, like a new iPhone every year etc, but the average wage has not kept up with cost of living over the last few decades, and that's a problem.
@@imFruzzythe point is, we all had the same opportunities. It’s all about taking advantage of those opportunities. Not complaining that someone else caused your problems.
@@TRC19999 Being Jewish and not being poisoned with mercury-amalgam dental fillings helps.
@@imFruzzy ABSOLUTE B.S. The min wage was far lower in the past and the current min wage has actually grown FASTER than inflation. Weaklings whine; winners like me achieve and get ahead.
@@imFruzzy Not everyone NEEDS to be a business owner to succeed. I studied engineering, and I am frugal and careful with money, and I worked hard developing productive skills. I am now very comfortable - will soon have two houses and a yacht and will be retiring independently. Take responsibility and get on with it, nobody is going to hand you success.
My first apartment 12 years ago was 800 a month. The same apartment is 2100 a month. Not only has housing tripled, food has tripled as well. A 40 hour work week on minimum wage was enough to afford a basic living. Now? Impossible. The girl is right.
The bulk of that inflation was brought to you by Democrats who shut down large sectors of the economy during Covid and then handed out newly printed money for people to do nothing. The combination of lower supply (less production) and higher demand (more $$) is what drives inflation.
The general trend of government over spending also drives inflation (need to print more money to cover the gap in spending versus tax revenue) but not at the hyper rate the foolish response to Covid did.
Some may point out that Trump was in office for the first year of Covid, but the hysteria and push to shut everything down came from the Left.
Right message wrong delivery. The standard entry level job no longer supports the average entry level lifestyle
Enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17, discharged injured less than a year. Insert sad story about young homeless veteran w/ $41t for PTSD. Long story short, got back on my feet, retired modestly , but comfortably to Ensenada Baja California, Mexico. Stay salty kings
You got injured…THEN discharged…AND overcame all that? Talk about conquering life huh😳🤣
I retired to central Mexico in 2018...absolutely love living here! Good luck amigo.
I was born 44 years ago, so I was at the tail end of Gen X, one of 3 kids raised by a single mother. I did really bad in school (guidance counselor told my mom when I was in junior high that she needed to except the fact that your son will never be anything), walked out of high school at the age of 20 in 2000 with no high school diploma. I started working night shift at a near by sobeys starting at $5.95 an hour (riding a bicycle to work, walking in the winter months) stocking shelves and unloading trucks from 11pm to 7am, sometimes I worked 7 days a week on night shift because we were always short handed. I would go home and sleep for a couple hours and go to work on a dairy farm during the day almost 7 days a week at $7 an hour. I purchased a well worn 1985 Chevy K10 plow truck for 4k and started plowing driveways in the winter. I purchased my first home 20 years ago for 40k, 60' mini home on 3 acres that a real estate friend helped me acquire from an estate sale (still live in it) So in my 20's I had no free time. I later left Sobeys, and started out for a very large local construction company to become a heavy equipment operator, working on a dairy farm running farm equipment was a big help in getting into heavy construction. I still kept moving snow in the winter, and still do today. I built my annual snow removal contracts up to 200k a season, I still operate heavy equipment for the same company I left sobeys for and that pay's me about 50k for 7 months of work a year. Never married, never had kids, never drank alcohol. Point is, it can me done, you just got to shut up and get to work. Check out my youtube videos for proof.
As a fellow Gen Xer of nearly the same age, I feel this. That said, do we have a healthy society where we can no longer afford marriage, children, and legacy? As much as the Walmart woman sounds entitled (because nobody is owed an existence), there’s a kernel of truth to her grievance. We’re in our version of the Brezhnev Stagnation. Peter Thiel and Tyler Cowen call it the Great Stagnation. Nick Land and Mark Fisher call it the Slow Cancellation of the Future. I’m not saying that a Walmart greeter is owed a cushy life, but we’re also witnessing the Suicide of the West because even the hard workers are demoralized into giving up - “quiet quitting” / “laying flat” / “let it rot”.
I am the same age as you. It has only been the past 5 years in which I have had some breathing room in life. Up until then it was work my a** off to get to where I am now. Plenty of sacrifice made, hard work, and good decisions put me where I am at now.
Go figure... A man that does not call "work" a dirty 4 letter word.
Keep rocking

@@seanwieland9763I'm Gen X too. She's not completely wrong. I'm old enough to have seen a lot of changes, and I'm not sure what kind of life my kids are going to have. Will they ever be able to own a house? That's becoming less and less likely. I work in health insurance and the company I worked for was bought by a larger company. Then that company was bought by an even larger company. That's symptomatic of a lot of industries. There's just not the competition there needs to be and the government works to ensure it stays that way.

I just rented out 1 of my rental property units to a 27 year old girl who arrived from Colombia 6 months ago, speaks ZERO English, no family, no support in the US besides 1 cousin. I VERIFIED her income, she’s making $50k as a nanny (35hrs/week) and then pulling in another $25k doing DoorDash, so $75k total after being in the US for 6 months and not speaking English.
She’s HUSTLING hard because she came from Colombia and knows how much opportunity she has in the US, she’s NEVER home, she’s offered to do work on my primary residence, walk dogs, clean house, she’s literally said to me (through Google translate) that if I have ANY work to be done, give her a call and she’ll do it…she doesn’t even care what the job is.
Her mentality and hustle is so insanely different than 100% (not 99%…100%) of American Girls I’ve met in my life. They are like the girl in the video, entitled, thinking the world owes them “living wage” comfort, vacation, benefits etc. It’s WILD how different the mindsets are.
Yeah. We should all live like uts a 3rd world country....
Exactly! There are both men and women in north america that love that victim mindset because they obsess with news and politics. There are ways to get ahead, but people would rather stare at a screen all day. That's why foreign women from lesser countries are the best. They're frugal and hard working.
people from overseas often see that America has options to earn, and most countries out there lack this, it's called opportunity
Imagine thinking that working ten jobs 300 hours a week is a good thing. It’s not. I know boomers like to blow their load over hearing about a person working their hands to the bone, but it’s not okay for that to be necessary.
It works because once they earn they go back HOME, and can retire live better then before.
Here in the US, I have to agree with her. I empathize with her. When i started working, the rules were i could retire at 65… now 53, they have changed the rules to 67 and soon to 70 with a 25% cut. Why should I be paying for the retirement of folks today with an anticipated cut like that? Seems fair to place those cuts on those that were the direct beneficiaries of pensions and more. I was lucky enough to start working when they cut pensions. I shouldnt have to be bearing their easy retirement on my reduced and underfunded retirement that I have to pay for basically out of my pocket. If I have suffer, they should suffer too. If they couldnt prepare properly with pensions and more, how will the average person today survive after helping the baby boomers after their cushy retirement? I feel and empathize with her anger.
she could blame Putin to get more views
A good friend worked at Walmart for a bit. Showed up every day, did his job, plus that of others if they needed help. He was ALWAYS busy doing something. At his 90 day mark the store manager bumped him up to an asst. mgr position. Which pissed a ton of people off. One of them decided to get into it with my buddy. Who in turn pointed out how that person was always screwing off. Never showed up on time, and pointed out all the places said slacker spent hours at hiding from management....in front of the manager.
Not just Gen Z. People in general have shitty work ethics.
Esp. After bring aggregated into useless bullshit slogans like Read Mah Lips, or Assentials, or Speshul vaxx pushers....might have something to do with the zeigeist...
Sadly - I'd argue that few managers and businesses operate that way anymore. Now because of their Larry "beta" Fink ESG bs -they'll promote the "vulnerable" people or "protected class" people first.... Putting your head down and "just" working hard isn't rewarded as often as it should be. Best to move on once you discover the nepotism and lack of recognition/respect.

Huh. It was EXACTLY 20 years ago that I was making $7/hr working at a pizza place, renting an ATTIC with a cot in it. I traded a laptop and $600 for my first truck that had 240,000 miles on it and I had to fix the transmission myself in order to drive it off the lot.

Pretty well remarked, thanks
I was born in '75 and it was just understood that you were going to struggle financially when you first enter the workforce. You would probably need to find a roommate or two or do your attic thing or live from home for a bit while you got your feet under you.
I lived at home for a year and a half after college and then rented a room from my brother for another couple years before getting my own apartment. Not once did I cry about what I had to do to make ends meet.
This girl has no historical perspective.
...aaaand somebody who grew up in the great depression could almost say EXACTLY the same about the way that YOU grew up.
It isn't a competition man, although in my experience Gen Xers always want to turn it into one because they think they had it the hardest.
@@LlopmondDunderbridge-nn2xt ,
Difference being that I never complained about my situation. I just appreciated the people that came before me that created the opportunities that I had.
you are talking about different things. The lack of ownership is correct but the generational issues are still there.
Stefan Molyneux once said you have to blame yourself for 100% of the situation because even if just 1% is someone elses fault your mind will zero in on that 1% and you will never improve.
And if you fixate on the 1%, you will ultimately convince yourself that it is more like 75%. It's just easier to blame nebulous external forces than doing the hard work of getting your own act together.
This reminds me of how Gen Xers will call every generation except their own "weak" and accuse them of lacking accountability, missing the hilarious and delicious irony as they shed bitter tears and blame everyone except themselves ("those selfish and lazy/weak GenZ/millenilas/boomers") for their miserable stinking lot in life.
She has every right to complain. She’s paying off the debt that previous generations racked up.
Not everyone wants to be a successful entrepreneur driving around in sports cars. Most people just want a simple life, to actually move forward, have a family and own a home. This is simply not possible for the vast majority of gen Z’s and many millennials.
Why is it so hard for people 50+ to grasp this.
Yes these public complaining videos irk me as much as the next person but at least she’s speaking up and making it known that something is seriously wrong.
Maybe people will actually start to understand what the problem is.
I understand the part about accountability, but what she says is true. The current economic situation is affecting millions of people, not just a small margin. The current system is unsustainable. I honestly believe riots will start happening, especially with rent becoming almost unaffordable for more than 50% of Americans.
If we didn't know any better, Rich has the perfect jacket for Wal-Mart!
Her position of roof over head with food in her stomach is not a standard i would hold America to... Thats an interesting statement. Im not extremely patriotic but i know America is better than what is going on right now.
And this unaffordability crisis is worldwide. Her grievances have some merit.
America is better than this? America voted for this.
@@4tonmikeI think Trump wouldn't make things radically different
That's where Rich lost me. He said vast majority of the population don't have a roof over their heads? There's a homelessness crisis for sure, and from what I've heard its worse in America than elsewhere in the West but I hardly think >50% (majority) of people are homeless.
I get it, he's trying to make a point to 'pick yourself up by the bootstraps' sure that's always great advice because what else are you gonna do that yields benefits? Whinge in your car? But hustle culture is only a symptom of the unaffordability crisis we're in. It's an established fact that wage growth has stagnated and I think it's premature to dismiss grievances about it.
@@Kuk0san the fact is wages have stagnated while inflation has not. And the price of housing has gone nuts even while the government claimed inflation was low. The fact is if the cost of houses was more accurately calculated in the inflation index, the penny might drop that there is a problem with people who are not hurting. Remember too, Rich worked in financial planning and bankruptcy. He has likely his views nuanced by some of the fiscally stupid people he dealt with
No she’s right. A brand new car is more than the average American income, so was a used car in 2021-2023. I make around $100k/year. If I bought a new home I’d have to spend almost half on the mortgage alone and I’m not doing that. So I bought myself a 08’ V8 Mustang with low milage and it costed a little under 1/8 of my pay. I don’t live paycheck to paycheck, but buying a home I would. Not to mention rising property taxes, insurance, etc. All that doesn’t include rising prices on everything else.
I bought a house and 50% of my pay went to it. I'm glad I did because I sold it and made north of 400k profit in just over 5 years. Now I don't have to struggle. No mortgage and the rents on my 5 other homes net me 3500$ a month profit. I didn't even own a car for ten years and I shopped at goodwill
Our money is broken, and that is the cause of her problem. Bitcoin fixes that!
So, you live super frugal while focusing on your job and investing your free money (which you will have if you live frugally).
It will feel great when you reach financial independence and realize how hard it was to get there.
Life isn't supposed to be easy.
Also, vote for Republicans because Democrats believe every dollar you make actually belongs to the state and you should be appreciative to them for anything they allow you to keep.
She can get a husband at least. Men dont have that option. We either sink or swim.
No chief save a bro
Yeah. She's attractive, so I imagine she can find some dude who will put a ring on it.
She is cute , young and working at Wal Mart does say that she has a decent work ethic at a minimum.. She would have no problem meeting a Men who would build with her .
Her husband material men have also been demonetized in favour of the 1 percent. And wasn't that what feminism was all about that a young woman would not be forced to marry to survive. So in today's age a young woman has to sell herself to a man AND work like a dog.
Understand the frustration. It wasn’t 20 years ago though. More like 50 years ago. In the Bay Area CA, 1975, a new nice 2500st house was $50k. Teachers made $20kyr back then. Today that house is $2.5m. 50x as much. Teachers make $50k. Blaming “boomers” is too general and done by incompetent lemmings. Blame specific policies by a specific political party. Example: San Francisco has studios renting for $3000k a month. Massive taxes, regulations, and government overspending is what leads to inflation in the real estate markets.
LMFAO Welcome to Planet Earth, enjoy the BS it provides.
Rich you nailed it perfectly! A victim mentality will get you nowhere in life. Look in the mirror and take responsibility for everything good or bad in your life.
One thing I can’t stand is how this woman thinks.
1. Walmart is only minimum wage there is very little chance of advancement unless you are in corporate.
2. Only 40 hours a week ? There is 168 hrs a week. It wouldn’t kill her to work an extra 20 hrs a week doing a side hustle like Uber or a part time gig.
3. Attitude. As a 20 yr old supervisor, I had the privilege of managing kids between 16-18 during a job in summer. I’ve noticed this generation has a lack of urgency and drive. They are all addicted to their phones and their Vapes. It’s fucked their mind up!
Great stuff Rich! You always have something valuable to share with us.
People dont wanna work just to get the opportunity to do more work...
She’s largely right, the change in wages has not risen anywhere near the change in costs, and that is not Gen Z’s fault. Not everyone can be in the 1%, there has to be a 99%, and we are noticing the inability of folks on the lower side of the earnings spectrum to keep up with the unbelievable inflation that has occurred.
This point was spot on.. Rich and all the other influencers online like to inadvertently shame the other 99% smh
She works 40hrs. Lif expectancy is dropping. I remember when you could afford rent on entry level jobs.
As an Icelandic Businessman put it when all the women went on strike. "Now we can get some shit done".
She voted for this 😂 which is communism.
low iq detected
The government we have is not because of her. How long have most of those senators/congress people held power?
Yeah is a 19yo girls fault.
you think this happened in just the last few years? Many of the problems are a result or good old Reaganomics.
I have 4 boys 17 to 25 . Gotta say they are smart, driven and not afraid to go where the money is. Its true nobody gets to cruise these days but did they ever ?
Id also say they are a lot more clued in than i was at their age. Im irish and i definitely wouldn't say our Gen Z is lazy
She has a lot of good points. I am afraid for the current generation and this mess that they are being let out into. In the 80's when I graduated it was easy to afford basic rent. Where I am from the cost of housing has skyrocketed and the social cost is scary.
She repeats the mistaken mindset that got us into this problem in the first place. Government "fixed all the problems" and now should "fix" it even more...
A young pretty girl has the body parts to find a guy a few years older and maybe live with. A young guy has nothing but his own hard work to get him ahead.
There is bunch of opportunities in oil industry 😂
Since we are equal - she should have no problem.
What she wants ? 200k per year for packing my stuff into the bags ?
Doing what? I’m always down to make more money.
@ryukirito2616 bunch of things , you can start with position on deckhand
I used to work 6 days a week, twice a month, no overtime -- this was as a public librarian. It was not fun.
Times were easier for sure. No one can debate that. Had a wife and 2 kids by 19 yrs old and we lived very comfortable with entry level jobs back in 1993.
Nobody really WANTS to work a 9-5. I do because I can't think of a way to do anything worth selling to people directly, so I trade my time for a paycheck. I get a pretty GOOD paycheck because I am good at what I do and people like working with me. The economics of this isn't anyone's fault, really. This is the way things are and you can either complain about it or adapt to it.
I think your point that there would be someone on planet that would like to trade place with her is really oblivious and non-valid. Her point about not wanting to spend her whole life working, all so, not to be able to afford anything, is really good.
You could argue that she doesnt have responsibility, but the same what she says would say someone that has responsibility and had made a lot better decisions, and was a lot more hardworking. Not saying that she wasnt, just that your point there is also invalid.
And she is exactly saying about boomers not having responsibility. You thinking that you do have responsibility doesn't mean you do have, a lot of men it seams do think like women, at least when this topic is brought. And are severely lacking any perspective, and think that them living care free life, and being oblivious to everything happening in the world throughout their lives, is somehow taking responsibility 👏
I'm glad she's fulltime employed - great first step. Genuine applause.
She also has a spark inside. So many don't.
Going back to 1970, median rent was about $108. Yearly income was about $9870. Median rent last year was $1712. For the same ratio to exist now, a person would need to make $143,480. Instead, the us median income last year was $59,384. Doesn’t take a genius to see that math ain’t mathin. We can make the case however that housing has grown in size AND been reduced in number relative to the population/households.
As for not finding help…. Tells me they don’t see satisfactory income coming from that employer at all.
Excellent point
What index did you get that data from if you can send a link . I've been studying historical indexes heavily the last few months.
I work as a hvac tech & a security guard. I cannot afford a place to rent. Living in my car, paying $400 a month at my uncle's place for showering & food storage. $500 on car payments. $300 on car insurance. $500 on gas a month. $300 on other bills a month. Oh, and I live in California. I love both of my jobs, but California is too expensive. Also owe uei money which I'm $50 a month & I owe some other loan company that is part of uei that wants me to pay $200 a month which I do not have money for that
Work harder commie [sarcasm]
The algorithms are giving this young lady more of what she wants to watch, and it enrages her. Put down the phone! Tune out!
I just look back at how hard my parents, grandparents and great grandparents worked and I STHU. But then I'm 63 myself.
In 2012, I got my house for 125k. I was called stupid & no way I could afford a mortgage paying $863 a month. Well it’s 2024, people are pay $2900 a month for a 1br in Sacramento Ca. Same people that called me stupid are now calling me privilege and I’m the reason why Gen Z are suffering..
To be fair...She actually had some fair points. And I give her respect for putting in the work at Wal Mart.. That says that she is trying in life..
I'm 46, and bought a house in 2011 for 200k .. My job at the time, I was a waiter making 55k. It took about 3 years of saving to make it happen.
Now... fast forward to 2024.. That same house is now around 500k and the interest rates are much higher. Absolutely no way I could have made that purchase in in this day and age unless my $$ grew at a rate 5x that of historical inflation.
Let's go back to even 2019.. A salary of 60k could afford the median home on America.. Now, only 5 years later about 115k is the minimum required for the median home.
Inflation has had a historical year of year increase of 3.5%.. Inflation has been increasing around 15% over the last 4 years which has severely brought down the purchasing power for the bottom 90 to 95% of the population.
Also, GenZ does have it harder than many previous generations.
Many of them had to miss up to 2 years of school in person, they are coming of age in an era where the dollar has the lowest purchasing power since the great depression. pensions are a thing of the last and.
While it's not an excuse or cop out they really have in many ways been given a raw deal.
And this is much bigger than to attribute this to who you "voted" for smh.. That is an elementary way to analyze the economic structure we live under..
Madam ! Open an OF. Something she will not tell you is the fact she didn't choose a well paid career.
By the law of scarcity, most will not have a high paying career. People are only wealthy because most are not.
The part that gets me is this assumption that like nobody has ever struggled before
I entered the workforce in the early eighties in the middle of a recession at the age of 15 after my father was crippled in an accident, trying to supplement his military pension enough to support a family of four
That was my choice, and that choice wound up costing me later in life
I still don't make that much money, but I've learned very well how to live on very little
So you can miss me with that your generation had it / has it so easy bulshit
To be fair mate, OLDER generations act like this too. Boomers and (especially in my experience) Gen X'ers will spend all day talking down to millenials and Gen Zs as if THEY are the only generations who have struggled. Don't believe me? Just look in this comments section (or at any Gen Xer talking about themselves for longer than 2 minutes on the internet... the self pity and self-righteousness is breathtaking)
For example, a guy in the comments who I replied to said "TELL ME MORE ABOUT HOW HARD YOU HAVE IT WITH YOUR CAR AND IPHONE WHEN I DIDNT HAVE THOSE THINGS GROWING UP!" when somebody who grew up during the great depression could say EXACTLY THE SAME THING to him, complaining about "only" having a car he had to fix himself, and a small apartment to live in.
It's not a competition man.
Humans have almost always been way worse off. We had it nice for a few decades and now we are spoiled
People complain in public now. Everyone has gripes it’s just in everyone’s face now. Now now now
I agree with the girl. If she votes left however, then she has no right to complain and is part of the problem.
No one talks about her position at work. For all I know, she pushes carts at Walmart. Your position at work matters. The people who complain the most are typically the part-time workers who do low value work. If you're working full-time and have many roles to fulfill, you're going to make more money and live a decent life.
She is working 40h the week. She said it in the video
I worked at Walmart in Arizona. Had one check that paid my rent is & all my bills. The other check was to myself. I had my own place in Arizona. So honestly, now and day, rent is way too high, regardless what full time job you have. I work two jobs here in California & I can't rent my own place living in a van.
As a 26 year old Australian who is on 6 figures I can say that not all of us are like this however I do feel Westernised societies have become lazy. If I look at migrants here (specifically Indians) will work two jobs to give their children a better life. I always say when do you see a white person working at 711 at 2 am and it’s a reason.. laziness
I'm 63 grew up in wny growing up I lived paycheck to paycheck working two to three jobs till I went into military. WTF is her problem. Drove otr for last 20+ now disabled. Too bad so sad.
As soon as she said 40 hours/week I knew immediately what bs it is
I am 46 watching my children work to make it in this inflation and it brutal. We had it a hell of a lot easier than these kids. To drive a piece of shit car in the United States now will cost a 16 year old $800 a month with insurance. The average rent is $1,200 for a crappy apartment. An 18 year old highschool graduate needs to make $40,000 minimum to just feed, house, and clothe themselves. When I was in my 20's a $40k salary meant you were doing well. Now its poverty.
She's a real cutie. If she changed her attitude, she can find a good man to take her in.
Stocking shelves/ flipping burgers is NOT a career choice. My mom had roommates in 60s, I had roommates in 80s. NO ONE could afford to live alone working ENTRY level jobs.
Welcome to the real world.
Gees, when I was 20, 40 hrs a week would be part time. 60-70 hrs hard labour, and still had time and energy to party.
lmao wtf dude what are you 70 or 80 years old or something? Or were you in prison?
My first job out of college, I was skrimping by making 30K living in friggen New York. Shut up, get your skills up and go to work. These people want to live a social media, "living my best life." lifestyle, on 40K a year. That's the real issue.
25 years ago was when I started out in the work force & I can safely say I lived in share houses for the first 10 or so years till my mid 20s before I could afford to rent my own house.
Is she talking about 50 years ago perhaps?
I’m 24 and I’m on track to make $115k-$120k this year. We’re not all lazy, just most of us 😂
Prices of everything are crazy, we inherited a housing market, economy and education system that has fucked us. I make 6 figs, it shouldn’t be so hard to find a reasonable house that isn’t +$350k
I also didn’t go to college
Spot on point my Man.. I'm 46 and GenZ has had to deal with a myriad of issues that didn't exist in the past at this level with COVID and historical inflation.. I couldn't imagine not going to school in person for up to 2 years
Shes actually completely correct. Only boomers don't see it.
Keep voting woke and go broke
The lady actually spoke the truth, coming from a man.
"Behind your belt?" LOL, as a gen X-er, I have a couple of decades of work in my pants.
lol I picked up on that . I was waiting for : EXetra , reconize , expecially .
No honey, YOU VOTED FOR IT!!!
100% total lack of ownership!
I love how Rich is under the delusion that the political right will lower taxes 😂. Yeah for the top 1%. Not for the middle class. They have never lowered taxes for the working class.
I'm 51 years old and have been working for over 25 years and struggled to make ends meet for me and my family for the majority of that time. It's only been in the last year that I've gotten some breathing room financially and can pay my bills on time. Financial security or whatever you want to call it doesn't happen overnight. While it's true that she's facing tougher challenges than perhaps I did when I was her age, she's in no position to blame me or others for the fact that she has to work 40 hours a week just to scrap by. Most of us have been there or are still in that position. You know what she needs to do? Quit complaining and make the best of her current situation. I don't know what else to tell her. No one said that life was going to be easy. Life is what you make it to be. Choose to be the best person that you can be and don't give into defeat.
Saying someone has "food in their belly" is a punchable statement. Its only legit to call for change when ppl starve?
According to him as long as you have food in your belly you should be happy. Wow, I remember when we expected better for our people.

Watch Walmart fire her for bad PR.

Yeah the billionaire children might get nervous.
I’m 54 years old. Dropped out of high school. Was into drugs very young. But at 18 years old I got a GED and got into the Carpenters Union in 1988. Also started over again in 2007 in the Great Recession. And got into another apprenticeship with IUOE 399 stationary engineer union. I’ve made $100k a year. With health insurance and two pensions and a 401k. I’ve worked hard. Destroyed my body. But it got me into the middle class. It enabled me to travel the world. I’m retired now. Living in SE Asia.
You can get a job in Chicago as a Union Laborer making $50/hr with all the benefits I’ve previously mentioned. But the “men” in this generation would rather make $16/hr at Starbucks than work construction. College grads look at construction work as beneath them. And would rather be broke than pick up a shovel and dig a ditch. The Union apprenticeship programs have a hard time filling their classes with new students.
The work is out there boys. You just have to do it.
Having roommates was mandatory when I was young !
Some of my best memories are from that time in my life !!
Wal-Mart entry level jobs aren’t meant to be jobs one can live on - even at full-time.
She has the option to work her way up or go to a company willing to pay her more money for whatever skills she can bring to them.
Think about what you just said. You're literally saying Walmart employees should be homeless and hungry.
@@kennedyhair8434 No I literally didn’t type those words. Entry level jobs are just that - entry level. It’s simple math. If everyone made $1,000,000 the value of $1,000,000 is now $0. In every society on this planet, someone has to be at the bottom in order for someone to be at the top.
People have the choice to work more than one job, promote within one job (which anyone with 1/2 a work ethic can promote at a WM in 6 months to a year) Get a roommate, or two, or four if rent is too high. Move to a part of town that isn’t the gliztiest part of town. Do whatever one can do (legally) to get ahead as the world owes none of us anything. We deserve nothing.
Yes it’s cold, but that’s the way western society is constructed. If people don’t like that, they have the freedom to move to whatever society they believe does it better.
@@kennedyhair8434 no, your saying that. You don't understand minimum wage vs living wage. But I will say Walmart greeters should be paid minimum wage because that wage fits the job skill, which I would define as minimum to no skill. But don't worry, in a few years you will be greeted at Walmart by a friendly humanoid looking robot who will work for free and stand upright in one position all day/night, 365 days/year.
Spends all her income on apple phones and watches, Starbucks, sushi takeouts, binge drinking with her girls, hair coloring and styling, expensive vapes, Netflix subscriptions, fancy shoes and wardrobe, ubereats, fancy cosmetics, ozempic , vip tickets to music festivals, etc etc…
Yes and if she saved every penny she would still need a roomate in today's society to afford rent.
Honest question; how would you actually know *any* of this? Does she mention this in the video or are you just making it up as you type, belching out a bunch of baseless assumptions and unsupported assertions?
@@LlopmondDunderbridge-nn2xt total guesswork with a side of thumb suck and extra boredom sauce
If she finds a decent guy, turns down the volume on the yapping and they both work hard it will probably be okay. Unfortunately gen Z often doesn’t understand this.
168 hours in a week. You sleep 56 hours...work 40. Leaves 72 more hours to work another job.
victimhood on eleven.
I worked two jobs six days a week from 1999 to 2011. Starting out my full time job payed me $15 an hour and my part time job was paying me $7.50 an hour.
I'm 65 and when I got my first apt, I rented a studio apartment and shared it w a friend. One room. So it's always tough getting started but I think the problem is more working at Walmart. Those jobs are terrible. Low pay, institutional feel . Soul killing.
I think they refer to the ‘lazy girl job’ where women sit around in their apartment on a laptop type of job. Which seems to be where we’re all heading! To be fair she has a point! I know the Dave Ramsey type of folks won’t agree but there you are! Too many jobs are too long in hours and pointless/poorly paid.
I just going to add and put myself in her shoes. When I started working I had a fast food job making minimum wage. I could NOT afford to pay Rent, I could NOT afford to go outside and Eat, I could NOT afford to buy a car, I could NOT afford to buy a house, I had NO money Invested. So I complained, I even went to Amway MLM and try selling Real Estate. It did NOT work for me!
So, how I fixed my situation? I lived with Mom and Dad for five more years, eat from Fast food restaurant everyday, rode a bike to work, grabbed a 2nd job, and Invested all my money. Before my 20th year I had saved $10,000. So I keep at it, and kept going. Took NO loans for college, bought Apartment to avoid rent, and Graduated College. I manage to save a few millions by now. Anyone can do it, just STOP complaining and learn to FIX problems, stay away from Unnecessary stuff including a $1,400 i-phone.
In my 20s, I had a small apartment with two other roommates! I was broke all the time.
