- When wages are such dogshit and rent is so expensive, it's no mystery why so many young people are depressed and anxious right now.

It's like all older people have the nostalgia goggles on and refuse to accept that society is collapsing.
The socioeconomic collapse has been taking place for decades. It's just now at a point where it's picking up pace.
That's exactly what's happening right now.
Reliving the Glory Days is better than acting like they never happened!

@@LeeroyPorkins Not in this context, it doesn't. In this context, people are deluding themselves into thinking that homeless labor is a 1st world luxury and that anyone who demands a pathway towards an affordable living situation is asking for way too much.
In this context, accepting reality and responding appropriately to the financial apocalypse we're in is a fair bit better than riding that nostalgia high.
Millennial here and I get it. Zoomers can do everything right and lose the game which is rigged against them. Not playing the game is the best move.
Brother I'm an "Old Head" and I'm tired of Old Heads also. These MOFO's came up in the best conditions when they were young. And have the damn nerve to play "country dumb" of what is going on at this time out here. I respect young people for talking about this BULLSHIT. 💯💯✅✅👍🏾👍🏾
No guaranteed food, water and shelter, no guaranteed reward for hard work, no autonomy.
You work sixteen hours, what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt.
If they want to pay workers so little, then they have no right to demand above and beyond effort. You get what you pay for.
For men at least.
No guarantee of not losing everything and turning life literal hell after marriage/divorce
@@NoOne-kx7zs Agreed, not even s3x is guaranteed yet adultery is legal.
No family no skills, no income to support a family of 4 or even 1 no future no skin in game no ownership.
Maybe if they didn't screw the economy so much to the point living costs keep rising then younger generations would be able to afford buying a house and move out of their parents' places.
They don't want people being able afford those things. The older generations were privileged. They might've worked for what they had but if they weren't given the buying power they never would've had it no matter how hard or how much they worked.
@@benstandardBoomers had 86% more purchasing power than gen z at the same age as us. Never forget the future they stole from us.
@@benstandard~ yup boomers & Baby Boomers could buy a 2,200 Sq ft 2 story house with a firm hand shake ~ selling 6 raspberries & a used pocket knife .. good luck with that in today's modern world
@@benstandard Pulling up the ladder behind them.
So many older people are also virtue signaling do-gooders that think voting by feelings always is the answer. Then they wonder why their kids can't succeed when they've been voting for higher taxes and more social programs their entire lives. So in America we literally get the worst of both worlds between rugged individualism and socialism.
Because of that a lot of people commit suicide due to depression, oppression as well as anxieties due to the fact that their future seems to be bleak and blurry resulted of the current situation globally..

Sadly, society despises young men.
Society owes you nothing (that's a bit depressing), BUT, you owe nothing to society (you are truly free). Never let society dictate your life, God bless you.
if you believe in god your critical thinking skills are already in question
Eff this site, it keeps hiding and censoring my posts and replies. I agree with you, if we aren’t owed anything, then we owe no one anything.
It’s a two way street. They have no right to expect productive members of society if they won’t allow them the opportunity to make something of themselves.
@@princessmarlena1359 I agree. Escape society.

I'm 39 and moving back in with my parents in 2 months. I own a house and it's just a black hole. Fk this society, fk capitalism and fk hope.
It sucks when you live with both depression and anxiety.
It could have something to do with with the toxins in the food and environment but it's mostly due to an unstable economy and a broken culture.
right there with you bud… don’t give up and stay tough! 💪
Depression is just masked anger.
Weed helps alot
@@mikesteelhearti don’t have anger but I do have depression and anxiety
I feel that we as a society are heading towards a major crash / collapse. High cost of living, higher rates of debt, foreclosures, auto repossessions and homelessness. All caused by political elites and corporations who don't care and only live to enrich themselves.
nnah the whole world is due to capitalism. Can't have infinite growth on a finite planet yada yada
OWN NOTHING BE HAPPY brought to you by the wef. Ita all a conspiracy period.
I left my high-paying job 2 days ago to take at least a month or two month break. Let me tell you - my mental health improved immediately once I returned the equipment, I had the best sleep in the last 1,5 years. All brain fog, depression, anxiety etc. gone in an instant.
The place was incredibly toxic and I burnt out due to this fact, but there was also cumulative burnout from the previous years of overachieving.
For context I am 28 yo, so on the border of millenial/gen Z, but I feel more like a gen Z :)
Only reason you were able to take that decision is because u are unmarried.
A married man cant imagine to not remain a working ATM till his last day.
@@NoOne-kx7zs to a certain extent that is true. Also the fact that I do not really need that much money to sustain my life so around 30-40% of my earnings got saved up and/or invested each month. In theory I could afford to live without wokring for around 3-4 years at my current lifestyle.
i burnt out at the age of 25 (im 39 now). Every time i try to go back to work life or to study, all the burn out symptoms come back.
living in freedom for 5 years (setting my own rhythm, working only on my photography), caused all my depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts to go away.
the culture we live in is sick and evil, and we react to it with depression and anxiety and other symptoms.
@@NoOne-kx7zsa married man is a simp
I'm 40 and get it. Zoomers can make all the right moves and lose a rigged game anyway. We need to flip the table and reboot the game.
Boomers are so out of touch. I stopped having these conversations with my parents over a decade ago. They still think you get a job by walking into a business and handing in your resume. They just do not understand how the world works.
Late but I'm pursuing a degree and my dad kept questioning why I don't have a job yet (I can't even get employment at a minimum wage retail job, the expectations are so high), and when I told him what he expects me to do, he used the same reasoning your parents did. I still don't have a job yet tho
@@aaAa-bp1yd hang in there. This reality is a damn joke. Hoping you find something soon! They just do not understand how much the world has changed. Even in just the last 15 years. If our parents had to start from where we are and build a life, they wouldn't make it. They wouldn't even be able to open the attachments in the email to join a remote interview. And these are the people we having running things. No wonder we are in the mess we are in.
@ thanks bro!!! And yep I agree, I’ll just keep mooching off their income bcuz WTF else am I supposed to do 😭
No it's because it's literally impossible for people to make it on corporate crumbs and there is nothing there for them

If my parents kicked me out i would probably be homeless doing drugs or dead, i wouldn't have hope in living a regular life, i feel so lucky, i still pay rent and have a job so don't call me a loser

An 18 to 25 year old going out there to "make it" has a great chance of being homeless and destitute. Its called risk aversion and for good reason we see it all over
My mom one time told me I haven’t grown since I haven’t moved out. I answered back well I have to pay to grow then since I can’t afford to move out. Stuck behind a paywall fr
@@R3al_WaRRi0r22 These old farts still think it’s nineteen-dickety-something, and that everyone still earns a livable wage and things haven’t gone up in cost
That’s hilarious. There really is a real life paywall 😂
Definitely a pay wall (and GestapoTube removes another one of my replies. F this site)
@@kevinrowland5753Yup life in America is a pay to win game
Growing up isn't about how much $ you make per hour 😂
0:24 Damn Boomer lady.. Its not a mindset problem.. Nobody can afford 2000 $ rent.
Landlords don't accept "mindset payments" 😂
Boomer lady just like her entire demonic generation care only about one thing. THEIR happiness
If you saw London or the rest of the UK you’d have a heart attack. Don’t worry though… the NHS will help you when you are pretty much dying. Free healthcare to be a debt slave. Great fun right?
Unlike the generations that came before them if they're not earning a living wage they're not guaranteed to have family to live with either rent free or very cheaply. It makes sense that they'd be more anxious and sad.
The key is to not care. It’s when you no longer care, you can’t be anxious nor depressed. Problem is, these poor kids are under a lot of pressure from stupid, out of touch old parents and normie dorks who have zero sense of empathy, even less compassion, and are willfully ignorant of the near impossibility of total financial independence for most younger people today.
Employers are bigger a**holes than ever and pay practically nothing, yet demand a college diploma, an impossible amount of years of experience, and they know that applicants need the money, and have limited options.
One has to get a do nothing government job with a super protective union (better be a DEI golden child or buy your way in such as with third world countries), start their own business (better have a ton of cash), or get involved in criminal activity (risking jail or a chainsaw in a motel bathroom) if they want to be able to make an affordable independent living. Otherwise, just work gig apps like a glorified adult paper route while still living with your parents, try to spend as much time out of the house as you can.
The 9 to 5, 5 days a week, middle class lifestyle is dead. At least for the USA and probably other nations, it is dead.

My wife and I are absolutely stuck in a 2800$ rent that keeps going up and up. It would take nearly 8000$ to move LOCALLY in the Phoenix valley.
We’d love to move to Texas, but that would take jobs there and probably be over 10,000$ to move.
We mentioned that to my wife’s boomer dad the other day (he’s a very nice guy) and we asked him how we are supposed to do this.
His response! “Well, you just do it.”
Very helpful.
Big reason why I stopped listening to Joe Rogan. He’s out of touch now.
Very much so. This nonsense that if you work hard, you'll make it or even if you get enough of the right skills, you'll make it isn't true.
Big buddy Rogan never worked a real job in his life. He said he did construction for a few days. Wooow what a big boy. Now he's just a typical oligarch
He's a billionaire, when has he ever been in touch lol...
@@EroticOnion23 Yeah I know. When I was a bit younger, listening to his podcast like 10 years ago, he seemed like a good guy. I acknowledge my lapse in judgment… :/
He never was in touch. He's a shill. 99% of Podcaster are.
You all should call the police to go down to arrest yelling bosses for workplace harassment. It is against the law.
Even here in Norway, where we have trade unions and collective bargaining, and good workers rights, the workplace is still a dystopia. Nepotism and sucking up the bosses is the way to do it if you want advancement, and trade unions haven't been demanding wages that outstrip inflation for years. At least we can't be fired for no reason like you can be in the US and some other countries, although there are other ways employers try to get rid of people.
I’m a translator and interpreter who’s hexalingual.. I work remote a lot, but I can’t count the amount of times that boomers who barely speak one language tell me that my job is “lazy”… yeah sure
Everyone: *Refuses to hire Gen Z*
Also Everyone: Why don't they want to work?
Boomer: Exclusively hires Indians for 1/5 of the price that your wage would cost
Also Boomer: Gen Z is lazy
Praying for you guys on the commemts. 32 same situation as what he described. Dont listen to people and just work on yourself. I also agree with him traveling i did it. You see life from a different perspective.
22 living with parents. I currently work at a distribution center/warehouse for the postal service for 2 years now. All I got to say it has its ups and downs I do rebellious behavior and today is my Monday and on very early Tuesday morning I told my supervisor who is in her 40's fuck the rest of the packages without telling her that. And I knew whatever packages come in more and more will only come that's the down. The up is my paychecks increase overtime I get to switch shifts and types of jobs in the postal service and move to any location, I work nights and I get to sleep into the afternoon.
Now as for my parents I love them even though they disapprove some of things I do or did but I know they did their best to raise me and my siblings.
P.s I have dealt with hard working projects with my father and my great uncle and through that I taken enjoyment through a certain type of work which is lumberjack work and other than projects or playing video games and other hobbies I fucking hated my highschool
Too damn early and constant nagging and needing to stand up for myself against others whose just being asshole
Child abuse has always been somewhat normalized in certain cultures and ethnicities (black people)
Back in the day a carrot on a stick would usually lead to something good but now the carrot on the stick can be stolen anytime and you can't get it back.
Not even mentioning the non financial parts, like not being able to have friends anymore because everyone is to busy scrambling to survive or recovering to do it again the next day. Why are we in our 20's complaining about body pain like we are in the 50's?? (Unless thats just the people i know)
My dear hearts and gentle Americans, abandoning your parents to live on your own in this cold, unfeeling world is not the flex you think it is.
I'm 24 and doing nothing with my life. What is the point if I can't survive?
Same. What's the point if you can't rent a place for yourself.
I'm 24 and I feel like I'm too incompetent to do anything.
"Live within your means.", except the means keep shrinking, and everything and everyone is out to prey on your anxiety and insecurity.
All the generations are getting screwed. This shit started 41 years ago. My entire family is going through this.
The sold out are the ones defending the system and they are from every generation.
I feel like this hits men harder than women in gen z
Why have kids in such a dangerous world 😢❤
It's a crime to have dreams in the current era. The only way you can have dreams and aspirations or want marriage and kids is if you're lucky. Yes I mean luck not even money or power. Those things are just results of luck.
No such thing as luck. It’s all cause and effect. It’s just the percentage odds of say a good partner as less than 1%. Just going on dating apps as a man you’ll be lucky to get a like rate of around 0.4%. Same statistics apply to genetics and job market. I honestly think some parents are evil for having children just for them to become debt slaves.
@Jonathan-Shadow Johnny I think you got a big brain
@@lovethyneibor22736 he's right unfortunately. Just grind and work 4 jobs bro not that hard
Luckily for me, I’m sterile.
Tbh I miss the Ai voice. It wasn't bad and idk why people complained about it. It was part of the reason I liked this channel
My mom has a bet that if I don’t get a job after applying everyday for the next 6 months she’ll buy me a 200 Giftcard. Little does she know………
I’d rather spend 2k on my shitbox Chevy than pay rent that high ☠️☠️☠️
It's luring you out to make a mistake that wil cost you and give them leave. Don't fall for it. leave the job! Stay strong!
I love my parents, but I understand my parents aren't forever, I wish I could afford to live on my own. But with this shitty economy, it's just not happening yet. I don't think it's immature to stay with mom and/or dad at all or just family in general.
We always have a choice to make- either work at a job you hate or try your hardest to make or find a job you love or at least can tolerate
If I had the power, I would give you the firearm and body armor like its 1997 North Hollywood to FORCE THE CHANGE. The ending scene of the movie- 300. Many gathers for one reason.
Because sub 70k a year is damn near homelessness and not everyone has the potential, money, or opportunity to make enough to live ans any avg job requires 70 hrs a week to afford a basic apartment. Lifes a nightmare and honestly doesn't help if you're too ug** to get a gf, so you're the only one contributing.
this situation is not just in US but also in India...same thing in whole world
It's expensive to travel safely but if you are willing to risk a little danger than you can get more affordable pricing probably but I could be wrong
im depressed all working days of the month
Picture criticizing a group of people our age because we live with our parents. Other countries don’t make their young individuals move out but here in the US you’re a “loser” for not moving out. Isn’t it a little weird that’s how we live?
My goat 😁

the same thing was going on in the 90s when u people were still at home with your parents.
I'm 38 and can't afford my apartment and might move in with my mom
Huh
Some places are still affordable you just have to not work in a big city for example when I was in an apartment still several years ago it was less than 600 a month post covid so you just have to live in a mid-size City & prices get more reasonable
I have never payed 2000 USD for rent, and I have been out of the Army since 2014 paying rent. Secondly, I don't have a degree and I can make 95K in the DC area easily.
I prefer the old voice. This one is pretty wack..
The destruction of unions has allowed employers to milk their employees even more than they already were. On top of that, the US minimum wage has been stagnant since at least 2009. Prices have gone up 47% across the board since, with wild outliers like housing. Companies can't own _you_ (unless you're an inmate), but they _can_ legally own your _time._ That's why you're stuck at work for the full duration, even if your tasks have long been completed.
What those who lived in the 50's and 60's really benefited from was the post-war economic boom. Europe was in shambles. There was demand for _literally everything,_ and capitalist US was more than willing to sell. It has now been 80 years since said war, and it's fair to say that the 'everything demand' has been fulfilled for many decades. Instead, we've had the 2000 .com bubble crash, the 2009 financial crash, a 3-year pandemic and now the current political state. To "return" to the post-war economic state, we'd need a literal World War III and pray we survive it.
The reason companies hire people is that people generate value (traditionally so, anyway). Actual value. However, if the worker was paid for the value they generated, it wouldn't be interesting to hire that worker, so part of that value is taken by the company. Some reasons are valid: maintenance, keeping the lights on, expanding, research, etc. A lot of it is not valid: pure and unadulterated greed, plus investors demanding 'their share'. This means that jobs that do NOT generate money, like those that literally keep society running (police, fire fighters, garbage collectors, sewage technicians, healthcare workers, home workers, etc) don't see wages that reflect their _societal value,_ because they have no _capitalist value,_ if they get a wage at all (stay-at-home parents, to name an example).
In the meantime, the top 3 richest people in the US own more than the bottom half. Their 'wealth' is in things that do not benefit society, but instead get put into generating _more money_ to be funneled _out of society._
AI is said to 'replace jobs' and billionaires are actually in favour of a 'Universal Basic Income' (UBI). Because those who get laid off will not find other work (what work will there even be?), therefore not have income, thus cannot spend it and that hurts the bottom line. So they want a UBI to continue sucking money out of society. They are literal monetary vampires that don't know when to stop sucking. To solve the problem, we need to put an end to this existence of vampirism.
Welcome to the civilized world of the 21st century.
