How about the people in this thread claiming that there's never been a better time for young people to gain wealth? That's absolutely preposterous and goes against all economic data, but everyone's like, Oh, totally, I agree, greatest era evah we all getting girlfriends wenn lambo. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€ There is no girlfriend. There is no lambo. There is just Ramen for dinner and playing poker on your phone in your childhood bedroom while doomscrolling a thread where older, wealthier people are like, **The problem is them playing poker on their phone.** We weren't playing poker on our phones, at that age. We were driving to a party at our best friend's apartment in our car. Their friends have no apartment. They own no car. All they have is the phone and $50 on Polymarket. That is the problem.

i have a hard time escaping my phone, so i don't know how kids nowadays can do it. i see them when they don't have video games/phones, and i can see the dopamine withdrawal in their dull faces. ohhh man, it's so true. i feel like growing up in late 90's 2000s was so much better than now. theoretically a 25-35 year old doesn't need a lot of money. they are young, energetic, beautiful and if they are involved in their community at all, older folks will bend over backwards to help them. the used car, the plane ticket for the kids missionary trip... but the older people have to be involved in the community and so do the younger ones...
