[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 4091958, member: 17825"] this generational **** doesn't make sense to me. there were bums and **** back 100 years ago too. it's not like back in your day everyone had 3 jobs and saved well. you only hear the successes, the failures are ignored. there are plenty of folks in 2023 who do work 3 jobs and bust their ***. some things are better than they were, some things worse. it's definitely true it's harder for the average man to get by now than it was in the past. i wouldn't argue that busting your *** like that is some kind of virtue in and of itself. i think it's commendable if you make that sacrifice to support your family, but it's not a virtue it's a burden. it's easy to criticize other people without having to walk a mile in their shoes. most of our decisions aren't logical like that, most folks had **** parents and never learned emotional control and discipline. some people have mental health issues. sometimes i wonder how much control we really have, or if we just have the illusion of control, and our own personality, genetics and upbringing decide a lot of the outcome.
