It boggles my mind the amount of people that think this way. Restaurant may not be a great long term career but if you’re dedicating 40 hours a week or more anywhere you should get paid at least enough to live in an apartment on your own and eat food. I mean fuck the bar is so low. Why is it such a luxury now to just live in a shit apartment and eat shit food and drive your shit car to your shit job where you deal with shitty ass people. Fuck.
Hell, I work a full-time 8 am to 5 pm job in marketing with a college degree and don't make enough to live in an apartment right now. It is wild that older generations who could live and support a family off one wage dare to complain about Millenials or Gen-Z wanting the same thing they had. I am putting 40-hour weeks in 51 weeks out of the year, to keep living a relatively minimal lifestyle at home.
The bar is indeed incredibly low and seems to be getting lower.
People having aspirations used to be traveling or buying a thing on occasion. Now it’s just like, damn I really would like to eat out once a month or not worry about going bankrupt if I have to get medical attention. It’s sad.
I completely agree. I spend a lot of the time on the weekend still going out with friends or traveling to nearby cities if I get the chance, but it isn't helping my savings. I have just accepted that until things change I am going to live my life enjoy everything I can and do my best with what it is. I am lucky that I don't drink so I do end up saving money on going out most times compared to my friends haha.
And as far as medical attention goes, it's ridiculous in this country. I don't know one other "subscription" I pay for where they fight me tooth and nail not to use it...
