Even if you guys are right, and im inclined to agree with you, you both sound like smug assholes. Tone down the hate on young people, you were young once too and im sure you were morons just like the rest of us.
yeah i know. god forbid i like just do what i want to do and don't consider the feelings of someone who is 25 who is projecting all their anxiety and bad choices onto the rest of us and trying to normalize their hebaviours, rather than changing their own.
when I was 25 i had better to to do than lecture other people on the internet, or in real life. like hang out with my friends, my girlfriend, and working my ass off to improve my future. but i understand that for a lot of young people today, none of those are viable options in their mind, and the only option is to be insufferable and miserable towards other folks and call them names.
because god forbid you invest in yourself when you can just tear everyone else around you down to your level of misery.
and before you go 'but they have it so hard' no, the 25 year olds i'm talking about in my example make more money than I do, and yet they complain how broke they are non-stop. they also don't have student debt because they had rich parents and often they are have property their parents bought for them. and if you point that out they tell you how growing up with rich parents is a disadvantage in life and how much better poor people have it than they do. it's utterly insane.
you know also what makes someone a smug asshole? budgeting, eating right, exercising, and all the stuff we all know that are good for us. and the people who tend to hate you for doing that are the people who are broke, eat shitty food, and are lazy and refuse to take care of their health.
