Don't try do it all at once. You'll fail and beat yourself up. Practice radicial self love. There is no time table, just a way forward.

Any advice that includes any of the following words: 'generation', 'millennials', 'participation trophy' 'spoilt' or 'in my day' is not worth listening to.
Everybody has different circumstances, everybody has different values, so eat as much advice as you can then let your gut decide.

tbh all this thread has shown us is that there are some lovely older goons out there who have fallen into the whole 'back in my day' mentality trap. But thankfully, they are outnumbered. Cheers for that info graph. Putting real life stuff like money, income, time into graphics like that is always rather confronting.

The graph just shows that labor has become a commodity and isn't rewarded the same way it once was. The people who provide in demand skills in the right locale are still paid well. We just don't need someone to assemble cars for $25/hr in illinois any more. Also, don't discount the fact that the 1965 production worker worked in terrible factory conditions compared to what you would find today.

yeah, I'm 36 and shouting at you loving kids to get off my lawn.
Yeah I gathered what the graph was about? What part of my post indicated I didn't? Or is this just an ironic shitpost like the post above it?

I don't feel this conversation is going anywhere productive.
edit: ugh

yeah i'm referring to the whole 'pull your self up from your bootstraps' odor from some of the earlier posts in this thread, not 'gently caress history'.
