Greetings good citizen, Spent the weekend surrounded by the 'future', the same children I keep imploring you to save...but you mindlessly believe you made it, they can too when you know full well the landscape is nothing like it was when you and I were growing up.
My son's birthday celebration gifted me with a cadre of kids who should be out on their own but we both know that didn't happen, not with the criminals pricing all but the children of the affluent out of the housing market.
I mean they are in the same position we were in but now you can't make ends meet with an entry level job. [In our day you could afford your own place so if your roommate stiffed you for the rent, you threw their ass out and paid the rent, older and wiser.]
You could do that then but now it's not even a starter. Get stuck for the whole rent tab and your finances are BLOWN [likely never to recover.] That's why kids live at home with the 'rents' until they land a position that lets them afford to move out on their own. [If you want to keep your friends your friends you don't move in with them!]
So it was I hosted a housefull over the weekend. [Funny how birthday celebrations 'grow' as you age!]
Unsurprisingly, of my sons friends, we are the sole homeowners.
So where do you suppose this 'expanding economy' is happening, East Richistan? [Because the ONLY people benefitting from Trump's tax cuts were already millionaires!]
In the 'real world' that discounts anyone not in the F'n ONE PERCENT.
Seems White House advisors are predicting the 'good times' will continue until the next round of nobody asked for 'em tax cuts.
Retail across the nation continues to roll up the sidewalks as a busted consumer now bargain hunts for everything online!
Even Wall-E-Mart (which did most of its business with EBT card recipients) is seeing it's core being undercut by online marketing.
A pox on 'free shipping' [which isn't 'free' at all.]
The message of today's abbreviated post is the kids have looked at the future and they don't see it. No house, no babies and no security.
Maybe, just maybe, if they tighten their belt and team up with the clear eyed they can experience a modest degree of security by working together to build their individual nest eggs via expense splitting.
What kind of society is it that forces you to buy your future from a damn bank?
My opinion is a corrupt one and one that will soon pay the price for its fecklessness.
The tab is finally coming due for the self proclaimed 'Masters of the Universe' who aren't even the masters of their own destiny...how ironic is that?
You're only 'on top' until the bottom falls out then it's the Devil take the hindmost.
With that I thank you for your patience and apologize for the two day absence.
