Every generation is supposed to be in a better financial situation than the last. We want our kids to have better than we did. I am Gen X/older Millenial, and my grandparents grew up in the depression. My parents were baby boomers. My dad was in the Air Force and my mom was a cafeteria worker at the public high school. My parents had a 4 bedroom house, 2 cars that were replaced with a new one every 3 years, and they could afford to send me to boarding school/private schools. I moved out at 17, worked 2 jobs, started a family when I was 20. There have been times where me and my spouse both worked 2 jobs each, and still couldn't manage. My partner got laid off in 2014, no notice, no warning- showed up for work to the factory locked up with a note saying they had shut down. Benefits gone, and no final pay check. He had worked there 15 years. House gone to foreclosure by this event. Our kids who are in their early 20s have nothing to show for our hard work. We can't pay for them to go to college, we can't help them buy a new car, we can't help them with their rent. Because we can't afford our rent, and our cars are 30 years old. Kids were more than welcome to stay living with us, but they wanted their own places, which I understand. I am always buying them whatever I can to help them. But it crushes me that I couldn't afford to give them what I had growing up. It's not supposed to be this way. It makes many of us feel like a failure as parents, but I think my generation doesn't want to admit it. I think Gen Z kids are great. I think they have been dealt a bad hand to start out in life. They watched their parents work for nothing- why would they feel motivated to do the same?

Fatherhood : "wait, whos gonna pay for all this?!"

Time for me to stop watching your chabnel i guess - tipping is optional, end of. America is backwards.

As an American though, I do understand what they're saying, it's that we're too feckless and fractured to actually do anything about it, we just sit around and complain. You can't just vote your way out of this death spiral, or you'll be in the exact position we're in, having to choose between two genocidal maniacs with almost identical policy goals as right wing populists exploit the genuine frustration of the disenfranchised pulling us closer to fascism while the only other party just steals their policies and complains about the cruelty of it as the overtime window moves further and further to the right where today someone as objectively far right as Reagan would be called socialist. We need to organize, learn how the political system actually works, which is from the bottom up. From a group to take on your state first, change the voting laws there to enable people to actually have a choice that matters. Next, actually run for office, again starting at the lower levels up to the state level. Our generation is finally reaching the age that we can actually hold higher offices at the federal level. If you want something better, we have to actually make it happen, you can't just sit around and wait for some old guy to give it to us, because they never will, and it's not just up to the president, you need an entire government from to to bottom open to those goals to get radical change like that done. That or the guillotine Tldr; they're not moving our healthcare, they're mocking our laziness

The tik tok ban is such a lie because they can encourage people to go to other platforms. But they wont because they are the real propaganda censorship. Sad that tik tok is more American than America..

I needed to hear this. Thanks

Our stupidity got us here. Now we must use our intelligence to get out.

my mom is one of those people. her constant complaining about "incompetent" people my age made me realize just how bad she is at her job. makes me feel more comfortable in my position tbh

I'm a low man on the totem pole but I've been a low man for 10 years at this company and I've proven my value numerous times so I've been invited to work on special projects and look behind the management curtain. It is mind blowing how incompetent some managers are, thay they don't know the basics of the work yet are somehow tasked with improving the efficiency and profits of the work. The managers often get offended when they ask for input and I say "this change seems like going backwards and will reduce production" or "what I observed in that meeting was middle managers lying to the executive, the work teams are not doing the tasks you just said they are and im curious about the evidence you have that those tasks are being done." And they look at me like I am on a different planet. Of course my perspective isn't the God given truth but I sure as shit do know what tasks are and aren't being done by the team I am on. The point is, some people are actually imposters in their jobs. If you think you are because of a tiny miniscule screw up here and there or you missed one deadline by a few hours, you're not an imposter, you onow you're good at what you do. The imposters are real and you're not one of them.

I work for two different companies. The owners both ask me daily how to export PDFs and how to edit word docs etc…. It’s insane how little these boomers and gen x business owners know about tech and they refuse to learn… yet continue to make big money. Meanwhile I have all the skills they do PLUS I can obviously do more and I get paid by the hour. It’s so stupid and incredibly unfair.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I figured this out when I met a few that were upset they were expected to work and show results for what they were being paid. .

😊

You twit! The money handed out to everyone is what diluted the Dollar's buying power. If they do more handouts everyone will suffer from higher inflation.

Unfortunately, due to experience, I agree with you.

The director of our recruiting department didn't know how to edit a PowerPoint slide. Like, nothing complicated, just fixing a typo. Couldn't figure it out. I had to do it for her.

Is 30 young? Because being the only woman at my job, I feel like I suck often.

26:27 we very much are, may I remind you that the biden administration literally changed the definition of a recession to avoid pr flak

Definitely need to remind myself of this. Lots of "failing up" in corporate America!

I REALLY REALLY REALLY needed to hear this message today. Thank you for sharing. I don’t feel so stuck and alone anymore. I’ve been successful in my role despite the widespread incompetence and immaturity.

That's the number one thing you learn as you get older. There are no adults here. 😂 I've had so many incompetent managers and coworkers.

Do you have lenses in those frames ?

Thank you!

I'm not a sufferer of imposter syndrome, I just actually suck lol

The fact that "woman" was under like 10 nonsensical gender identities speaks volumes about society right now...

Thank you!

I challenge you on this. I have nothing and I'm kind/generous to others. I'm not plagued by jealousy. I believe in putting out the good vibe and paying it forward ❤

Girl...i work with so many executives that can't figure out basic shit. It is mind blowing how these people make $300k+/yr but need hand holding for everything.

I run payroll and there's basically a direct correlation with how incompetent someone is and their salary. The business development manager has brought in literally no business ever. Man works part-time and takes himself out to 2+ hour lunches when he does come in. Can't figure out how to reboot the printer. 120k and quarterly bonuses. Y'all need to negotiate your salaries with the confidence of a mediocre white man.

If people were capable of reading their emails and understanding due dates, my job would 100% not exist. These people make at least 3x more than I do, but I have to act like their mother, nagging them to do the job they’re actually paid to do 😂

Thank you for the reminder! I still have things I'd like to improve on but I refuse to let nasty people try to set my value. I'm proud of what I've accomplished; the success I have is not only because of me but because I have a team that supports and strengthens each other.

is 38 young?

It's said people would rather talk about their sex life v $$$. I agree. Props to this lady for coming on and exposing herself, mistakes, story to everyone.

Hold up how old were you when you were in community college? How did you not know the definition of a loan?

I don't think so.

You all think all the government spending was great, UBI, government programs etc...to me, it showed exactly why you don't do crap like that...cause now prices on everything has gone up 50-100%. The government is not your mommy, they should pave roads, provide a military for defense, and set rules for us to play by. Not actually play the game...because they screw it up with currency mismanagement.

Your hair is fabulous! Wow

I wish people would learn to criticize a country’s government instead of its people. The people, as a whole, are victims of a meticulously built system that is currently operating the way it was designed to. Max profit for those on top. We the people currently don’t hold the power because of fighting between us and propaganda spread by government officials. Voting alone won’t work, the system was built to suppress and overturn votes. The people in control are old and out of touch. Something bigger needs to happen to motive people to set aside their differences and focus on the bigger issue. This can apply to other countries too. I see a lot of Americans being racist to Chinese people instead of criticizing their government. They think the CCP is doing real communism when the truth is so much darker

Fly as much as you want shamelessly WHILE investing in hydrogen and electric planes. Save the planet while profiting. Everyone can switch when those scale up.

Metal straws are VERY dangerous and bad, They conduct temperature and can cause burns and tripping with a drink can be lethal! Just clean and use your own eco bendy plastic straws again.

So she purchased a new car and a $4k sectional in 2020 instead of paying off her loans.. ok now I get it. Poor decisions… Maybe she should have listened to “those old white guys” that consult about money. Just saying.

As an entrepreneur I want to say - Thank you! I always feel the odd one off but I keep promoting myself and going strong!

Me using a credit card to buy gas and food.

I mean it’s been a great economy for billionaires maybe that’s what they’re referring too lol

I love the idea of budgeting and buying gift cards. I struggle with “good girl on a budget” and will usually get paid on the 1st, be frugal for 15 days and crash on an impulse purchase because I need something fun. So the idea of having these little “pick me up’s” budgeted appeals to me

JUST DON'T PAY

I went to college in the 90s and Im also first gen who came to America right b4 college due to a civil war. The fact that she is claiming she did not know a loan had to be paid back is crazy! Saying u were unaware of the payment terms is one thing, but what did she think she was signing as she signed the note? .

This is exactly why I thought Americans are against taxes so much when I first heard about taxes not being added to the price of an item in grocery shops. Where I'm from the price you see on a product is the price you pay - no thinking about taxes which are perceived as an ADDITIONAL cost. Same with the salary - when you apply to job you usually are being offered a salary after taxes. So you see exactly what you'll get and you see exactly what you'll pay.

I appreciate this video. I am heading to my mid-40's and my 40's have been much better than my 20'sand 30's, when I cared way too much about what other people thought of me. I recently completed my bachelor's degree in education and have way more confidence than I did in my younger years. I have embraced my graying hair (my mother quit coloring her hair in her early 40's when she became a grandmother and my 72 year old mil still tries to look younger by dying her hair unnatural looking colors). While I am not in the best physical shape of my life, I do plan on working on that in the very near future. I do surround myself with real people and influencers who help me to feel better about myself and encourage me to be who I am without having to fake it. I am mentally more stable and not nearly as anxious as I was when I was younger. I am proud of my recent accomplishments and can't wait to see where the future takes me.
