I'm a carpenter/contractor and I've said the same thing for 30 years. I've never been asked to build a "starter" house, or a house much less than 2,000 sq ft for that matter. I recently remodeled a kitchen that cost $55k in a house that's 15 years old, the countertops were $8k alone. I get frustrated when people say they can't afford a house, yes they can, just not the house they can show off to all their friends and neighbors.
I cannot afford you sir. I am building my own 1000sqft home now. The cost of red tape alone is $100,000. Materials $100,000 and it will be 3 years of my time. I cannot afford to hire you.

Me, my brother & sister, retired boomers all, are setting up our each mobile homes on my 12 acres in the country to take care of each other. I'm the only one with kids (in their 30's) and will have a house for them when SHTF. Already have the tractor, garden, chickens and looking for sheep for meat. I remember my Polish grandparents living with my Aunt & Uncle when they got old. It's how it was done in the old country. Generations living together helping each other whether it be wisdom or chores.
I’ve been telling my wife this for the last several years. The invisible tax of inflation is robbing the middle class. Those who are going to thrive will be those who bind together and share resources.
More like those who can fix things and those who don't buy coffee in single-servings. Nobody's being robbed here; first-world affluence is higher than it has ever been in all of world history. If you're broke and working, then drop the streaming services and the iPhone, and maybe start eating-in.
I thought this would happen during the 2008 collapse. The family would assess which member has the biggest McMansion and all would live in and share the cost. Instead, we had massive bailouts. There will come a day when we can't kick the can any further.
Our democracy is heading into an oligarchy which always descends into a dictatorship and eventually it crashes and the cycle repeats. I also think multi-generational households are going to be a thing due to the seemingly endless rise associated with cost of living
It's already happening in Canada, 2 or 3 families all renting a basement from some slum lord who's also renting the upstairs bedrooms to another 3 or 4 families.
We moved into a 1770 New England house. It's big enough for two families. We're hoping one of our children will do exactly as you suggest . Like the Waltons - Grandma & Grandpa under the stairs, rest of the bedrooms and such, for children, and master bedroom for one of the children and his / her spouse.
I did that. I bought an 1853 brick Victorian in Michigan and no one came to live. I planted fruit trees, gardens, 1/8 acre of strawberries and 1/4 of wheat, got chickens and ducks and still no one came. I have offered my sons to come and start a large family farm but they would rather live as debt slaves so I am letting them learn like I had to. Good luck with your endeavor.
Millennial here. We didn’t have internet for a long time, and when we did it was dial up lol. Didn’t have a cell phone till 16 or 17. My grandmother grew up on a farm during the depression and didn’t have electricity for a very long time.
A lot of this is people are living way above their means. They complain that that grandpa pay $3,000 for a house. He may have but it didn’t have a HVAC system or granite countertops with marble floors and a walk in porcelain tile shower with glass surround the size of a 1950s bathroom. They didn’t remodel everything after 10 years either. Not to mention the size of the house now . The amount of square feet per person now is crazy.
I live in a neighborhood from the 40's and 50's. My house is a 2 bedroom 1 bath and 1 car garage that is 870 sq. ft. They are knocking down houses like mine and there is a young couple with no children that have a 4,000 sq. ft. home.
Great points. The house across the street from mine is a larger house with a massive garage...., it's really nice. It didn't sell for the longest time because it didn't have a bathroom for every individual room. Yep. Not enough personal bathrooms.
Agree. They also didn't holiday a continent away and eat out all the time, or do all that many paid leisure activities either (boadway, skiing, riding atv's and whatnot). It was a far more simple life.
I was born in 1962, my Father was born in 1915, he was 14 years old when Wyatt Earp died. I grew up on a hobby farm, 160 acres. We raised cattle and horses. I learned how to ride and drive horses from a very early age and continued to do so for many years. I learned alot from my parents and remember the seniors from when i was a young kid. I learned without realizing at the time alot of the old ways that i do today that alot of people struggle with. Im thankful i know what I know🐴🚴♂️🚘.
I have 10 acres of woodland along the Columbia River, NE Washington State. While the coast is irredeemably liberal (“assault” weapon and high capacity ban, etc.) the east side is very conservative. In addition to main house, I’ve built two small, fully functional cabins. Will start on a somewhat larger one (700-800sq feet) in the Spring. There’s no way young people can afford housing now and rent, even up here, is sky high.
My grandfather walked to work. Who walks to anything these days ? His sister lived in the house next door, and in that house, TWO families lived there. One on the first floor and one on the second & 3rd floor. He had that depression mindset, hey, you never know when you are going to need that. How do you fix a 36T dollar deficit when half the country still wants hand outs ?
I walk to work. Have my own small business here on the homestead. It is a 800ft long stroll through the forest from home to get to the shop. Very peaceful.
Well the reason why the middle class exploded after WW3 was not because of women working for the war effort. Before the war most women did work at some point: Textiles, light factory work (assembly of small parts, resturants & other food service jobs), cashiers, typing clerks & other office related jobs. After war 2, a lot of women became home makers because a single income was enough. This was because after WW2 the US was the only western nation with manufacturing base & infrastructure that wasn't destroyed or damaged by the war. The avg american man working in a factory was making well over $100K in today dollars It all stated to come apart by the early 1970s and other nations had rebuilt most of there infrastructure & factories & no longer needed to rely on the US for mfg. goods. The also modernized their infrastructure & factories making it cheaper to produce goods than in the US.
I was born in 80. Last year of Gen X. This is why I am buying property in the Appalachian Mountains with what I have now. I got a cell phone when I was 19. Old brick phones. I am buying property up there so I have a place for my family and friends to go when it all comes down.
Good luck. I thought the same until I went there. East Kentucky anyway is no where to be. You'll starve out there if shit goes down. Land is too steep for anything at all, and everyone lives along creek beds. Poverty, drugs, and r3tard mentality describes the people. No thanks.
I believe you're right Mr. Wranglerstar... I'm kinda worried about people like me that don't have like minded families... Sometimes I wish everyone with a tight family fully understands and appreciates how fortunate they are...
A starter house in my area is 500k. If you save 6% for the downpayment that is 30k. The payment is $3500 at a 6.7% interest rate. Add in utilites, car payments, insurances, food and general expenses. That is $5500 a month easy. You would litterally need to make a 100k a year to afford a 500k home and the basic essentials to live. Now you have to come up with the cash to afford a wife, a family, retirement, vacation and home maintenance. Heck... how do you afford to furnish the house? 18% of individual make over 100k and 34% of households make over 100k a year in the US.
@@Robnord1 Census data says that 18% of individuals make more than 100k a year and 34% of households make over 100k a year. Sure.... there are pockes of demographics who make a whole lot more and a whole lot less.
Easy solution. Move to a cheaper city, buy a cheaper house, drive a paid for car, join the national guard for a lot of extra pay, free healthcare and great benefits, never buy a soft drink or coffee from a retail store, make your own lunch and save 15% of your income. Read Dave Ramsey books. Trust me, capitalism isn’t the problem, you are.
I rode a horse to elementary school more than a few times. 'course, the 'horse' was a Shetland pony who knew where home was and would go there if you left her unattended.
This means that when trump is inaugurated he won't fix everything and we are not in fact going to be farting rainbows. How DARE you suggest such a thing!
This his how confused and out of touch society is with nature and reality. For the last 32 years my wife and I would heat our home to 75 or more all winter and then shut the heat off completely while we slept. We then went to Value Village bought knitted blankets from the 70's and added wool heavy blankets in layers for the deep cold winter. The idea is that you have a heat generator in your body so it just needs insulation to keep you cozy warm at night. Remember the Walton's depiction do you think they burned wood as fuel all night ? NO, they where in bed from 10:00 pm till grandma got up with Livy to start cooking and heating the home ? When I tell people that it's cheaper and warmer to heat in the daytime only they don't think it's a workable idea.
Communal living is common in other countries, and I believe will become more predominate in the US. Wealthy folks are buying up a lot of the land. Land will not get cheaper.
What I think a growing trend will be is researching where the cost of living is lower. Either in the immediate area or long distance. Or perhaps out of state as well. For instance I live in New York State. The southern tier of NY has significantly cheaper housing than all of the other regions of the state. It is however one of the poorer regions. So my suggestion to everyone that wants to save money is to move to a lower cost of living area. And if needed find a new job as well.
This. Youth in the US will simply immigrate to other countries that have a cheaper cost of living. The same way millions of their european ancestors immigrated from Europe to escape high inflation there.
3 generations all living and helping each other, that's the way it should be. The older ones teaching the younger with the middle age ones bring income into the system. It's been that was for 1000's of years, the sooner we go back to that the better. Starting to plan for that now is a good idea. The old way was : 3 kids before your 30's then there should be grandkids in your 50-60's, you teacher the grandkids while your kids work, the grandkids help you in your 70-80's, cycle of life. It will go back to this, one way or the other.
Possible. Multi generational households truly are the way to keep the money in the family. Childcare. Housing. 10/10 can recommend. You just have to get along.
@@mysterioanonymous3206it works in our family. My daughter and I purchased a house together because neither one of us could do it alone and her family lives upstairs and I live downstairs and be respect each other's privacy. But I am here to help with the kids in all kinds of different ways And we support each other in myriads of ways that people don't even think of. It's excellent! I absolutely love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. So many good things about it, including the multi-generational contact of young people with older people and you can teach them things from your own life. It's a completely different thing from the way Americans have been taught to think and be.
Families should take care of one another. The current way Americans dump their parents in an old folks home is disgusting. No respect for the people that brought you up. I hope the change on the horizon is good change. When society and the economy collapse, family is all you have! Afterall, when your on you're death bed its not memories of cashed checks you recall.
I've been telling my kids and grandkids this for years. Actually the industrial revolution was the beginning of the middle class but that time has come and gone and it's not comng back. We are returning to the world of the wealthy and the poor. Think of the midivil days when the rich owned castles and allowed some poor to live there in exchange for work and everyone else lived in the forrest. We are slowly reverting back to those days.
My mother grew up on a ranch in South Western New Mexico without running water and electricity in the early 1940s through the 50's. They had to walk a quarter mile to a well for water and fill up those old aluminum milkcans filled with water and bring them home.
Well said, and so true. Aussie woman here, and its the exact same situation in Australia now too. we have a housing crisis, and have so many homeless people and families its not funny. homes are getting out of reach of the working class with the way price have been skyrocketing in recent times, and rental homes are just as bad. my rent has gone up by $400 a month over the last two years. and others are in the same boat. our government just doesnt seem to care anymore. and the keep allowing more and more immigrants in, and giving them everything while Australians seem to be forgotten and left to struggle. we certainly are in the end times, and can only hope God will put things right soon.
Been trying to buy a small plot of land in your country to build a tiny house on, live there during our northern winter. My gosh there is pretty well nothing in the way of bare land in any small Aus town for under $500K. And that is just bare undeveloped land. Your country is even more insane than here in the northern hemisphere. I would say the average aussie is fooked bigtime he has no chance.
I was born in 1947. My father rode a horse to school. Also my grandparents did not get electricity until 1959. So yes, I remember lighting kerosene lamps when the sun went down and heat with a fireplace in the winter.
Thank you sir for this content. I am in my 20s and blessed with the financial ability to maintain a mortgage of a house. When I eas looking for a place my biggest factors were if I could comfortably house at least three full families on the property. I ended up buying just that and living with my parents and a few others of my family on some property. Each of us have our own area and could even eat separately though we usually all eat together.
I like to think of it like this.. if the US lost electricity all at once for good (aka a very long time).. it would be the same as if prehistoric man lost fire. Good F'n Luck.
My father actually loved the depression and talked fondly about it.BUT they owned a farm.He also talked about going and picking up coal off the railroad tracks with his grandmother. He said he loved it.
So, I dont care, do what YOU want to do with your own life. If you want to be an ultra feminist empowered woman, do that. Be my guest. No judgements. But lets get one thing perfectly straight, the real reason feminism was so strongly pushed into the social fabric of society is for one reason and one reason only... you can't tax a stay-at-home-mom.
People coming together is difficult to imagine. Authority no longer gets respected with family treated as disposable. It's going to take a tragedy to get people to change.
Be careful of co-ops. One on the north shore in MN recently kicked everyone out. All the people that built cabins and invested into the place lost it all.
I was born in 1956. My childhood, in a rural part of the North East was amazing. The middle class was prospering and expanding. We loved to play outside, ride our bikes downtown, a soda was a dime. As a young teen I remember watching TV (3 channels - black and white) and seeing the daily body count reported about the Vietnam war. It was a very different time in America. I too believe the middle class is doomed but I also believe the opportunities to become wealthy still exists for young people who identify and exploit the opportunities. To young people I say - learn about the segments of the economy that are expanding and growing. Educate and position yourselves accordingly. Learn about money, finance, and investing. Start to acquire appreciating assets. Do not borrow and spend on depreciating assets, like new cars and other toys. Live below your means. Face it, the smart and the rich will get richer - there is no reason you cannot position yourselves for prosperity.
I was born in 1959,and I have to say Cody pretty much everything you said is spot on. 👌 I have owned 3 homes , my daughter and her significant other own there home ,but I don't know if my son will ever be able to afford a home with his family. And he was born and raised here,but there just giving away loans to Illegals. It's disgusting. Thanks for the video 👋
I just want to say that the real reason housing is so high is because Private equity firms. These people are buying up blocks of homes shutting families out of purchasing those homes and pushing prices up and then they rent them back out. A really good movie for you to watch would be 99 homes. Excellent expose of what really is happening in that industry and the real reason prices for homes are so high. Hint it's not the people with nothing.
I’d agree with you on the communal living. It’s been on my heart to be ready for that and for the past 6 months I’ve been looking for the place that can accommodate that. I figure my two so sons will not leave and my current house won’t allow that. I’m also a very picky buyer, so I haven’t been able To find just the right place. Bout the time I married my wife her and her siblings took a vote and she is supposed to take care of her folks in their old age. Since we weren’t married I had no vote. So part Of what we are looking at is an ADU for them. And now apparently I have to let two of her siblings live with us to.

Getting a college degree in engineering, math, computer science, medical doctor will get you everything you every wanted. We important must all our doctors and engineers from India. My entire family, generations before and after me, are doing fine or extremely well through education.
Im the last year of boomers. 64 was the year and Kennedy had just been unalived. I grew up in saddness. So, as children we were never inside. We went outside till the street light came on.. It is so different now. All the screens and stuff. So sad..😢
I didnt have internet for the first 12 years of my life. and even then, we got dial up till i went to college. Internet wasnt vital for survival until 2007 and on.
I’m a bit older and remember asking my great grandmother if she knew anyone who fought in the civil war, she said honey , every grown man I knew fought in the civil war. The transfer of wealth from my generation to millennials will be immense for many.
Thanks, As a "Boom-Xer" (1964) whos father endured the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and WW2 and my grandmother who was a teacher for both white children and Native American children of the Oklahoma Territory, ive heard the stories of hardtimes. The hardtimes of today are superficial b/c we have been condition3d to be "indivualist" that lean towards suffering narcissist. Hard times doesn't mean not enough likes or not enough followers. Ya think those folks want communal living with shared responsibilities?
I was born in 83. I remember the first PC my family got. I remember the first giant brick cell phone my grandpa got. Freshmen year of college only one of my friends had a cell phone.
I bought a bed 'n breakfast (small hotel) in Uruguay to house my extended family for when the time comes that the United States offers neither promise of a good future nor a safe present. We raise sheep and cattle here in Uruguay and I think what you are doing is fantastic.

I agree that somewhere along the way, a bunch of people thinking that they were cool were they needed to validate themselves and move out of their parents home so they can have their own and say to the world I got my own place have forgotten the value of a family working together. It's like when you're a kid and there's that one kid that makes fun of you because you're having a birthday party and you're going to have cake and ice cream as if eating cake and ice cream makes you a child there are still countries and cultures where adults live together and they take care of the elderly members of the family rather than be selfish and everyone gets their own place and then they turn their backs on their family

I thought this would happen during the 2008 collapse. The family would assess which member has the biggest McMansion and all would live in and share the cost. Instead, we had massive bailouts. There will come a day when we can't kick the can any further.
I was born in 1980 the internet has ruined life in every way possible
Middle class is destroyed. Only rich and poor folks now.😢
Welcome to slavelandia
Our democracy is heading into an oligarchy which always descends into a dictatorship and eventually it crashes and the cycle repeats. I also think multi-generational households are going to be a thing due to the seemingly endless rise associated with cost of living
What do you mean "our democracy" ? The USA never was a democracy. Our founders were very much against it.
Tytler Cycle and 4th Turning.
It's already happening in Canada, 2 or 3 families all renting a basement from some slum lord who's also renting the upstairs bedrooms to another 3 or 4 families.
NOT a democracy. *Constitutional Republic* headed for the globalist-feminist-marxist movement underway now in the EU, Aus/NZ, and Canada.
Learn how to use a trust to leave your home to you children tax free. Rich people use this legal maneuver all the time, and it is pefectly legal.
We moved into a 1770 New England house. It's big enough for two families. We're hoping one of our children will do exactly as you suggest . Like the Waltons - Grandma & Grandpa under the stairs, rest of the bedrooms and such, for children, and master bedroom for one of the children and his / her spouse.
I did that. I bought an 1853 brick Victorian in Michigan and no one came to live. I planted fruit trees, gardens, 1/8 acre of strawberries and 1/4 of wheat, got chickens and ducks and still no one came. I have offered my sons to come and start a large family farm but they would rather live as debt slaves so I am letting them learn like I had to. Good luck with your endeavor.
Millennial here. We didn’t have internet for a long time, and when we did it was dial up lol. Didn’t have a cell phone till 16 or 17. My grandmother grew up on a farm during the depression and didn’t have electricity for a very long time.
A lot of this is people are living way above their means. They complain that that grandpa pay $3,000 for a house. He may have but it didn’t have a HVAC system or granite countertops with marble floors and a walk in porcelain tile shower with glass surround the size of a 1950s bathroom. They didn’t remodel everything after 10 years either. Not to mention the size of the house now . The amount of square feet per person now is crazy.
I live in a neighborhood from the 40's and 50's. My house is a 2 bedroom 1 bath and 1 car garage that is 870 sq. ft. They are knocking down houses like mine and there is a young couple with no children that have a 4,000 sq. ft. home.
Great points. The house across the street from mine is a larger house with a massive garage...., it's really nice. It didn't sell for the longest time because it didn't have a bathroom for every individual room.
Yep. Not enough personal bathrooms.
Agree. They also didn't holiday a continent away and eat out all the time, or do all that many paid leisure activities either (boadway, skiing, riding atv's and whatnot). It was a far more simple life.
Eggzackly
It's not just the square feet that has gotten ridiculous, but the ceiling heights too. More space to heat and cool.
I was born in 1962, my Father was born in 1915, he was 14 years old when Wyatt Earp died. I grew up on a hobby farm, 160 acres. We raised cattle and horses. I learned how to ride and drive horses from a very early age and continued to do so for many years. I learned alot from my parents and remember the seniors from when i was a young kid. I learned without realizing at the time alot of the old ways that i do today that alot of people struggle with. Im thankful i know what I know🐴🚴♂️🚘.
I have 10 acres of woodland along the Columbia River, NE Washington State. While the coast is irredeemably liberal (“assault” weapon and high capacity ban, etc.) the east side is very conservative. In addition to main house, I’ve built two small, fully functional cabins. Will start on a somewhat larger one (700-800sq feet) in the Spring. There’s no way young people can afford housing now and rent, even up here, is sky high.
My grandfather walked to work. Who walks to anything these days ? His sister lived in the house next door, and in that house, TWO families lived there. One on the first floor and one on the second & 3rd floor. He had that depression mindset, hey, you never know when you are going to need that. How do you fix a 36T dollar deficit when half the country still wants hand outs ?
Good points.
I walk to work. Have my own small business here on the homestead. It is a 800ft long stroll through the forest from home to get to the shop. Very peaceful.
My grandparents never owned a car and took the bus to work, now the youth is spoiled and everyone believes they should be entitled to a car.
I think you're right. It's time to break this spell they put on us
oy they
I was born in 1970. My grandfather was born in 1895. He came to America from New Zealand when he was 9. That is wild.
Nobody can predict the future, but it sure looks bleak.
Well the reason why the middle class exploded after WW3 was not because of women working for the war effort. Before the war most women did work at some point: Textiles, light factory work (assembly of small parts, resturants & other food service jobs), cashiers, typing clerks & other office related jobs. After war 2, a lot of women became home makers because a single income was enough. This was because after WW2 the US was the only western nation with manufacturing base & infrastructure that wasn't destroyed or damaged by the war. The avg american man working in a factory was making well over $100K in today dollars
It all stated to come apart by the early 1970s and other nations had rebuilt most of there infrastructure & factories & no longer needed to rely on the US for mfg. goods. The also modernized their infrastructure & factories making it cheaper to produce goods than in the US.
Don't forget how enormous the tax burden has become. When over half of your income goes to government, that is criminal.
@@Daniel-Weaveri would be good with that if we all had a better qualty of life. IE universal healthcare, low cost childcare, paid sick leave etc.
Biden's ridiculous electric vehicle mandates that drove car and truck prices to the moon were the final nail in my middle class existence.
Those billionaires don't need that much money but keep paying their employees dirt wages. Thank the Big Corporations. They have all the money.
I was born in 80. Last year of Gen X. This is why I am buying property in the Appalachian Mountains with what I have now. I got a cell phone when I was 19. Old brick phones. I am buying property up there so I have a place for my family and friends to go when it all comes down.
Good luck. I thought the same until I went there. East Kentucky anyway is no where to be. You'll starve out there if shit goes down. Land is too steep for anything at all, and everyone lives along creek beds. Poverty, drugs, and r3tard mentality describes the people. No thanks.
I was born in 1965. The first year for Gen X. Do what you need to do! Time is short. I am like you, prepared and ready.
Hopefully you're not a knob, we've gotten enough of those recently.
I believe you're right Mr. Wranglerstar...
I'm kinda worried about people like me that don't have like minded families...
Sometimes I wish everyone with a tight family fully understands and appreciates how fortunate they are...
All true words. I'm 75 and remember a lot of things I saw with grandparents and great grandparents.
I'm 75 and remember that there was a military draft and the Vietnam War, came home to we don't want you
@@stevenrobinson7747 I sure remember that--very sad (and stupid).
A starter house in my area is 500k. If you save 6% for the downpayment that is 30k. The payment is $3500 at a 6.7% interest rate. Add in utilites, car payments, insurances, food and general expenses. That is $5500 a month easy. You would litterally need to make a 100k a year to afford a 500k home and the basic essentials to live.
Now you have to come up with the cash to afford a wife, a family, retirement, vacation and home maintenance. Heck... how do you afford to furnish the house?
18% of individual make over 100k and 34% of households make over 100k a year in the US.
Move!
Are you sure it's only 18% ? Here in WA it sure seems much higher than that...more like 75%.
@@Robnord1 Census data says that 18% of individuals make more than 100k a year and 34% of households make over 100k a year.
Sure.... there are pockes of demographics who make a whole lot more and a whole lot less.
Easy solution. Move to a cheaper city, buy a cheaper house, drive a paid for car, join the national guard for a lot of extra pay, free healthcare and great benefits, never buy a soft drink or coffee from a retail store, make your own lunch and save 15% of your income. Read Dave Ramsey books. Trust me, capitalism isn’t the problem, you are.
If you can't afford to live somewhere, you'll have to live somewhere else.
I rode a horse to elementary school more than a few times. 'course, the 'horse' was a Shetland pony who knew where home was and would go there if you left her unattended.
This means that when trump is inaugurated he won't fix everything and we are not in fact going to be farting rainbows.
How DARE you suggest such a thing!
This his how confused and out of touch society is with nature and reality. For the last 32 years my wife and I would heat our home to 75 or more all winter and then shut the heat off completely while we slept. We then went to Value Village bought knitted blankets from the 70's and added wool heavy blankets in layers for the deep cold winter. The idea is that you have a heat generator in your body so it just needs insulation to keep you cozy warm at night.
Remember the Walton's depiction do you think they burned wood as fuel all night ? NO, they where in bed from 10:00 pm till grandma got up with Livy to start cooking and heating the home ? When I tell people that it's cheaper and warmer to heat in the daytime only they don't think it's a workable idea.
Communal living is common in other countries, and I believe will become more predominate in the US. Wealthy folks are buying up a lot of the land. Land will not get cheaper.
What I think a growing trend will be is researching where the cost of living is lower. Either in the immediate area or long distance. Or perhaps out of state as well.
For instance I live in New York State. The southern tier of NY has significantly cheaper housing than all of the other regions of the state. It is however one of the poorer regions.
So my suggestion to everyone that wants to save money is to move to a lower cost of living area. And if needed find a new job as well.
This. Youth in the US will simply immigrate to other countries that have a cheaper cost of living. The same way millions of their european ancestors immigrated from Europe to escape high inflation there.
3 generations all living and helping each other, that's the way it should be. The older ones teaching the younger with the middle age ones bring income into the system. It's been that was for 1000's of years, the sooner we go back to that the better. Starting to plan for that now is a good idea.
The old way was :
3 kids before your 30's then there should be grandkids in your 50-60's, you teacher the grandkids while your kids work, the grandkids help you in your 70-80's, cycle of life.
It will go back to this, one way or the other.
Possible. Multi generational households truly are the way to keep the money in the family. Childcare. Housing. 10/10 can recommend. You just have to get along.
@@mysterioanonymous3206it works in our family. My daughter and I purchased a house together because neither one of us could do it alone and her family lives upstairs and I live downstairs and be respect each other's privacy. But I am here to help with the kids in all kinds of different ways And we support each other in myriads of ways that people don't even think of. It's excellent! I absolutely love it. I wouldn't have it any other way. So many good things about it, including the multi-generational contact of young people with older people and you can teach them things from your own life. It's a completely different thing from the way Americans have been taught to think and be.
Families should take care of one another. The current way Americans dump their parents in an old folks home is disgusting. No respect for the people that brought you up. I hope the change on the horizon is good change. When society and the economy collapse, family is all you have!
Afterall, when your on you're death bed its not memories of cashed checks you recall.
This style of living was worldwide and some people still do it depending on the country.
same here, so happy to have grown up before the internet.
All the best in the coming Struggle.
I've been telling my kids and grandkids this for years. Actually the industrial revolution was the beginning of the middle class but that time has come and gone and it's not comng back. We are returning to the world of the wealthy and the poor. Think of the midivil days when the rich owned castles and allowed some poor to live there in exchange for work and everyone else lived in the forrest. We are slowly reverting back to those days.
Multi generational teamwork - by the family of the family and for the family
The immigrants are way ahead of us on this one.
My mother grew up on a ranch in South Western New Mexico without running water and electricity in the early 1940s through the 50's. They had to walk a quarter mile to a well for water and fill up those old aluminum milkcans filled with water and bring them home.
Hard life….😢
Well said, and so true. Aussie woman here, and its the exact same situation in Australia now too. we have a housing crisis, and have so many homeless people and families its not funny. homes are getting out of reach of the working class with the way price have been skyrocketing in recent times, and rental homes are just as bad. my rent has gone up by $400 a month over the last two years. and others are in the same boat. our government just doesnt seem to care anymore. and the keep allowing more and more immigrants in, and giving them everything while Australians seem to be forgotten and left to struggle. we certainly are in the end times, and can only hope God will put things right soon.
Been trying to buy a small plot of land in your country to build a tiny house on, live there during our northern winter. My gosh there is pretty well nothing in the way of bare land in any small Aus town for under $500K. And that is just bare undeveloped land. Your country is even more insane than here in the northern hemisphere. I would say the average aussie is fooked bigtime he has no chance.
You are absolutely correct sir. That is exactly what I've been saying for a while now. Thanks for putting it out into the ether...
I love the videos you make on these subjects.
I’m both concerned and convinced that you’re right. Been learning from your example for years now. God bless!
I was born in 1947. My father rode a horse to school. Also my grandparents did not get electricity until 1959.
So yes, I remember lighting kerosene lamps when the sun went down and heat with a fireplace in the winter.
Maybe the "middle class" doesn't deserve a 3000 sq ft home?
Nobody deserves any thing
So i can appreciate your concerne there are more of us middle class than those in office.
Thank you sir for this content. I am in my 20s and blessed with the financial ability to maintain a mortgage of a house. When I eas looking for a place my biggest factors were if I could comfortably house at least three full families on the property. I ended up buying just that and living with my parents and a few others of my family on some property. Each of us have our own area and could even eat separately though we usually all eat together.
God bless you and yours, brother!
You know that Millennials didn't have the commercial internet, right?
I was a freshman before AOL started catching on.
He’s a pompous idiot
I like to think of it like this.. if the US lost electricity all at once for good (aka a very long time).. it would be the same as if prehistoric man lost fire. Good F'n Luck.
Born in 74. Grandmother's house still had dirt floors in Appalachia when I was about 12 years old.
I agree with this, the change will be painful and revolutionary
Except he’s upper class.
You don't think he was middle class before ? Comon' man .
I agree 100% working on building cabins for mine on my property
People need to toughen up.
GrandDad didn't sit around and whine about prices.
He built it himself.
Families really need to stick together!!!
My father actually loved the depression and talked fondly about it.BUT they owned a farm.He also talked about going and picking up coal off the railroad tracks with his grandmother. He said he loved it.
So, I dont care, do what YOU want to do with your own life. If you want to be an ultra feminist empowered woman, do that. Be my guest. No judgements. But lets get one thing perfectly straight, the real reason feminism was so strongly pushed into the social fabric of society is for one reason and one reason only... you can't tax a stay-at-home-mom.
People coming together is difficult to imagine. Authority no longer gets respected with family treated as disposable. It's going to take a tragedy to get people to change.
"Beloved?" L.m.a.o.!!!!!🤣
Be careful of co-ops. One on the north shore in MN recently kicked everyone out. All the people that built cabins and invested into the place lost it all.
The Bruderhof lifestyle appeals to me and always has. Everything you said is truth.
I'm so happy I grew up in the 80s. I didn't have a cell phone till I was 25
I was born in 1956. My childhood, in a rural part of the North East was amazing. The middle class was prospering and expanding. We loved to play outside, ride our bikes downtown, a soda was a dime. As a young teen I remember watching TV (3 channels - black and white) and seeing the daily body count reported about the Vietnam war. It was a very different time in America. I too believe the middle class is doomed but I also believe the opportunities to become wealthy still exists for young people who identify and exploit the opportunities. To young people I say - learn about the segments of the economy that are expanding and growing. Educate and position yourselves accordingly. Learn about money, finance, and investing. Start to acquire appreciating assets. Do not borrow and spend on depreciating assets, like new cars and other toys. Live below your means. Face it, the smart and the rich will get richer - there is no reason you cannot position yourselves for prosperity.
I was born in 1959,and I have to say Cody pretty much everything you said is spot on. 👌 I have owned 3 homes , my daughter and her significant other own there home ,but I don't know if my son will ever be able to afford a home with his family. And he was born and raised here,but there just giving away loans to Illegals. It's disgusting. Thanks for the video 👋
I just want to say that the real reason housing is so high is because Private equity firms. These people are buying up blocks of homes shutting families out of purchasing those homes and pushing prices up and then they rent them back out. A really good movie for you to watch would be 99 homes. Excellent expose of what really is happening in that industry and the real reason prices for homes are so high. Hint it's not the people with nothing.
I’d agree with you on the communal living. It’s been on my heart to be ready for that and for the past 6 months I’ve been looking for the place that can accommodate that. I figure my two so sons will not leave and my current house won’t allow that. I’m also a very picky buyer, so I haven’t been able
To find just the right place. Bout the time I married my wife her and her siblings took a vote and she is supposed to take care of her folks in their old age. Since we weren’t married I had no vote. So part
Of what we are looking at is an ADU for them. And now apparently I have to let two of her siblings live with us to.
Topics that needed to be addressed. Good video!
I agree with you 100%. Good times back then.
61 years old I am living in Australia just the same here 8 Kids in My Family from 64 to 51 years old, it is going to be hard for the Young Ones We will leave Our Son and Grandson our land. wrangler Star don’t know about Gods plan I think it a lot off greed More to the point so Few Control So Much. Merry Christmas to You and Family
So what happens when there are disagreements, divorce and a bunch of other issues, problems, concerns
you're a genius bud, thanks for being you
Getting a college degree in engineering, math, computer science, medical doctor will get you everything you every wanted. We important must all our doctors and engineers from India. My entire family, generations before and after me, are doing fine or extremely well through education.
Our kids will not live there😂
Im the last year of boomers. 64 was the year and Kennedy had just been unalived. I grew up in saddness. So, as children we were never inside. We went outside till the street light came on.. It is so different now. All the screens and stuff. So sad..😢
74 here..... Same. I'd go back to it in a second if I could.
Don’t worry y’all. Daddy Trump will save us!
I didnt have internet for the first 12 years of my life. and even then, we got dial up till i went to college. Internet wasnt vital for survival until 2007 and on.
I’m a bit older and remember asking my great grandmother if she knew anyone who fought in the civil war, she said honey , every grown man I knew fought in the civil war. The transfer of wealth from my generation to millennials will be immense for many.
This is definitely very true. It is the way to do it.
Thanks,
As a "Boom-Xer" (1964) whos father endured the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and WW2 and my grandmother who was a teacher for both white children and Native American children of the Oklahoma Territory, ive heard the stories of hardtimes.
The hardtimes of today are superficial b/c we have been condition3d to be "indivualist" that lean towards suffering narcissist.
Hard times doesn't mean not enough likes or not enough followers.
Ya think those folks want communal living with shared responsibilities?
I was born in 83. I remember the first PC my family got. I remember the first giant brick cell phone my grandpa got. Freshmen year of college only one of my friends had a cell phone.

A sparrow sandwich would have been a blessing. Ive eaten plenty of mustard sandwiches so having some meat would have been awesome

I agree that somewhere along the way, a bunch of people thinking that they were cool were they needed to validate themselves and move out of their parents home so they can have their own and say to the world I got my own place have forgotten the value of a family working together. It's like when you're a kid and there's that one kid that makes fun of you because you're having a birthday party and you're going to have cake and ice cream as if eating cake and ice cream makes you a child there are still countries and cultures where adults live together and they take care of the elderly members of the family rather than be selfish and everyone gets their own place and then they turn their backs on their family
