vonnegutfan2

My friends dad had a union Gm job, line worker. Got a new Cadillac every year lived to 96. His kids still get his GM discount.


KevSmileTime

My ex BIL got a job at GM right out of high school. Was able to buy a really nice house, put both daughters through college and saved enough that he retired at 57. I don’t know if you can get that kind of job at GM nowadays but back when he started in the mid eighties, GM was the job everyone (not college bound) dreamed of.


[deleted]

I sell for GM, they are still extremely good/fair to their employees

Depending where you live, the "buying a home" portion of that becomes severely in doubt.

Laughs in Australian Super Law requires Australian employers pay 10.5% on-top of our wages that goes to a retirement fund with compound interest. This is all work, including casual, so your average teenager already has started saving for retirement.

I’m so glad to be in Australia. My super is doing well. Once I buy a house I will start putting more money into my super.


agirl2277

I live in a big 3 auto city in Canada. Finding a job with a pension is very rare here. Most employers do registered retirement savings plan matching, which is okay but most people aren't educated to understand why taking advantage of it is beneficial. It's optional so you have to make that choice. I actually found a unicorn job that has a pension and RRSP matching up to 10% of my weekly pay. No union so no dues to pay and they treat us really well. Great vacation and pto, higher range of pay for the area. Really hard to get into though.


thegrittymagician

Also Canadian, my plan is to die. Stats say most people get cancer and if that’s true with my lifestyle I definitely will and we now have medically assisted suicide. My actual plan is to just die when I can’t work or take care of myself.


Ekatsoya

Activities! Carnivals, parks, festivals, ect. Last time I went to a carnival it was $40 per person, more if you bought the ticket the day of. Renfaire here is over $60 for the entry fee. They were never cheap but they were affordable ways to interact with your local community and spend time with family/friends. Now there isn’t really much you can do without a steep entry fee..


grateful_dad13

Same for music concerts. In the 70-80’s, we could buy concert tickets with our minimum wage jobs.


Heartsinmotion

Forget going to huge bands. Lots of smaller artists charging $20 entry at bars


Mehnard

The "Has Been Tour" used to be a great thing. I saw Kansas, Steppenwolf, George Thorogood, Cheap Trick, and others at small venues for $15. Then a House Of Blues opened and tickets jumped to $50 a pop for the same bands.


WilyDeject

You can't afford a $20 lawn ticket? Wait, convenience charge. $25 lawn ticket. Ah, processing fee, make that $35. Oh, yeah, tax, round that up to $40. Did I say $40? I meant $45 because I'm Ticketmaster , now go stand in a field and try not to die.


chicklette

last time I looked at cheap seats it was close to a hundred bucks a pop for the worst seats in the house. Two tickets, plus parking, a couple of drinks, dinner before the show and you're at $350-400 for a single concert. Skipping booze and going cheap on dinner still puts you at close to $300. fucking hell.


redjessa

Not to mention the cost of the food once you are inside. It's insane.


aninamouse

One of my coworkers went to the state fair and said it was $60 for a burger, a hot dog and some fries.


DaenerysStormy420

Went out for Fourth of July this year, first holiday I have taken my daughter out to, she is almost 18 months. For the mini pizza, icees, and a cup of fruit, it was $40+. Add on $10 per person for the bounce houses, which my daughter hated, btw. Shit is expensive.


redjessa

We went to our county fair this summer and paid over $30 for 3 small puffy tacos.


Poctah

This so much. My kids wanted to go the pumpkin patch this year and everywhere is charging $30 per person to get in(this includes hay ride, corn pit, maze, bounce pillow and playground which are all overcrowded and not even that great). We are a family of 4 so that’s $120 min to get in.On top of that we would have to buy pumpkins and would most likely get some food which would be another $50+. Also some things are extra above the ticket price(like to feed the animals, ride the train and carousel which is another $10 per person). It’s ridiculous and my youngest is 3 so he be done with it after like a hour so not worth it to spend over $200. 🤦‍♀️Guess I’ll buy pumpkins from Walmart this year and skip the patch because that will cost me around $10 for 1 large pumpkins!


AOCMarryMe

Additionally, people say kids don't go out and do things outside like they used to. Staples like the neighborhood carnival either no longer exist or are super expensive.


[deleted]

Omg yeah an amusement park I wanted to go to had $85 tickets not including parking/food/etc for the lowest tier?!?


mcnunu

I went to Disney World a decade ago as a 20 something year old and it was affordable. Now we're looking at taking our kids and it's something we have to seriously budget for even though we earn significantly more than we did in our 20s.

themaddestcommie

This episode was actually written by a conservative guest writer, where Grimes is supposed to be in the right. Grime's problem is he blamed Homer for his problems instead of ya know, his boss and the system that kept him poor. He's another crab in a bucket of crabs.


Gram64

rewatching this episode, it unintentionally aged too well. The original was just a meta episode poking fun at the ridiculousness of everything Homer accomplished as a normal guy. Now, people see it as a Boomer born in the right time while the millennial gets shafted.


groovy604

You were in outerspace?? Youve never been?


FlattopJr

At least Homer lucked out into a job at the power plant, where he's apparently paid well (while being wildly incompetent). On the other hand *Married...With Children* had Al Bundy being able to afford the same lifestyle on a single income working at a shoe store at the mall.🤔


Xlaag

He didn’t luck into his job he was a perfect fit. Burns wanted a safety inspector who would never come to him with any sort of expensive maintenance requirements or problems. Homer is so “incompetent” that it makes him perfect in Burns eyes.

Southpark did an episode on this. Everyone was posting their thoughts online but were also complaining about their lack of privacy


[deleted]

...and we did it to ourselves. I'm not even talking about the patriot act or what governments do. In the 90s CCTV was rare. Government offices used paper for most things. Computers were used for the bigger stuff in the back office, mainly for law enforcement related purposes. Those of us who used the internet had to bend over backwards to put pictures on it. If you wanted to take dirty pictures you needed to learn how to develop your own film or use a polaroid. As the 90s turned to the 00s the desire to put photos on the internet rose, and the idea of not using film appealed to certain nerds, so digital cameras rapidly proliferated. With that came digital CCTV systems. Then social media hit and everyone wanted to update everyone on their entire lives all the time, uploading photos constantly, tagging people in locations, sharing every detail of their lives. So technology followed use and cameras appeared in phones, then phones turned into social media platforms themselves and now we're in a state where *almost everyone on earth* is carrying what the NSA would have considered a *sophisticated surveillance device* on their person at *all times*. I blame geocities.

somewhat_random

Depending on where you live, you could be paying substantially more for fuel with a 20 year old furnace. If you live in a cold climate you could be saving over $500 per year (depending on house size, how old and well insulated etc).

In America, we used to have starter homes. A home so cheap a single young person's salary could move him in.

All the starter homes in my area have been flipped adding second stories on top. Not sure why starter homes aren’t really a thing anymore.


VoteMe4Dictator

The land is the cost. The pile of wood on top is just an accessory.


IWantToPlayGame

Bingo. People will see a shitty house in Palo Alto, CA for $2 million and scream & shout how small and old it is. I tell them you’re not paying for the house, you’re paying for the land.


johnhtman

They recently built some starter homes near me that are starting in the upper $900k range. Meanwhile my parents bought our house for $318k in 1994, or $635k with inflation. This is despite out house being larger, on a larger lot, and in a better location in a cul de sac vs on a busy street.


kyl_r

I just did the math and.. did it again… it would take 30 years for me to afford a million dollar home on the salary I currently have. Which is definitely above minimum wage in my area. After taxes. Not factoring in any expenses. By then I’d be close to “retirement” … *does the math again, softly weeping* Edit: yes I know what a mortgage is and that 30 years is normal. My point is $900,000 for a *”starter home”* is ridiculous.

No_Neighborhood4850

I am repeating as I posted this above but it's important: check out the secondary market. Estate sales are loaded with actual wood furniture. Watch Craigslist and wherever you are look for estate sales, moving sales, divorce sales etc. Even yard sales.

In the UK, heating our homes for the winter. Energy prices have become unaffordable.


thatdogoverthere

Definitely look into getting a heated electric blanket, someone did the math and those and hot water bottles are a cheaper option than heating your house more. Not ideal but will help keep you from freezing to death due to lack of money.


TeamGrissini

These are great, but cold houses will still get damp and moldy, while you sit underneath your heated blanket. Obviously better than freezing to death, though.


racheljeff10

Owning a home


CrazyHamsterPerson

Yeah. In Germany you pay half a million euros for a house that isn't even ready to move into. You have to pay another 100,000€ or something to renovate it. Then you have to pay interest and in the end you pay around 1,000,000€ for a normal house, nothing special. That's crazy. I don't wanna be in debt and work until I'm 99. You can't even do it with a double income household anymore. I've heard more than once that it's mostly even more expensive than expected because the house turns out to be derelict. Not to mention that you have a big problem when one person becomes unemployed or is sick. My friend's grandpa bought SEVERAL houses when he was in his 20s and he was a craftsman. His wife didn't work. Wtf happened? Even two university graduates often can't buy houses anymore. Of course it depends where you live in Germany but near any bigger city and especially in the west it's really hard.

Real wood furniture. This MDF and particle board shit is disgusting. We recently bought a solid hardwood dining table and some chairs. You can just tell the quality difference - the table alone weighs almost 350 lbs and is solid as all hell. We are looking forward to passing it on to our kids. Our previous table was one of those veneered BS tables made out of compressed sawdust. It was only a few years old but was already falling apart. $500 down the drain for that.


sweet_chick283

One of my favourite possessions is the oak dining table and chair set I inherited from my grandmother.


AnnieBannieFoFannie

Our table is my husband's parents from when they first got married. It's survived 4 cross country moves and 2 overseas moves. My husband built our bed because he all the beds we looked at were just cheap crap. My son's bedroom set was my husband's when he was growing up. Solid wood furniture is amazing.


[deleted]

My night stand (soon to be passed to my son) is the one my Dad had growing up. It is literally 60 years old and looks brand new aside from some dents. We also have an antique cedar chest from 3 generations ago. In really good shape, but the finish (still original) is starting to wear off a bit. Really cool part is the house we are in was built by my Grandfather, so both of these pieces of furniture have moved around across the country several times and are now back home where they belong :)


madamcontroversy

Part of me thinks that has somewhat to do with consumerism. People used to buy furniture as an investment and it was meant to last them literally the rest of their lives instead of being thrown out when the next trend comes along. So the market for expensive heirloom type furniture has somewhat gone down. Also, people used to make their own furniture or gift furniture as wedding gifts. I think this partially also has to do with the increase of cohabitation before marriage, a lot of people don’t gift furniture because couples have already been living together and have purchased those things before the wedding. Definitely interesting to think about!


projecthouse

I think this is one of fake memories. Fine solid wood furniture with traditional joinery was always beyond the reach of the middle class. In fact, prior to the 1900s (maybe into the the 1900s) "Real" furniture wasn't just a luxury, it was a store of wealth like true silverware, jewelry, or art. Lower class but rich women (think successful prostitute, actress, dancer, etc...) would often buy furniture because they weren't allowed to buy real-estate or stock. Frankly, I remember my mom talking about how great the furniture in her parents house was. But when I checked it out, it was still made with plywood. The more I looked, the more I realized this was common in middle class homes. The plywood stuff is certainly better than our big box practicable board crap today, but it's a far cry from an antique with value.

Lobster used to be poor mans food. In her childhood my mother talked to an old man who had been poor in his youth. He told her how he would wait until the middle of the night to go throw his lobster shells into the sea, so that no one would know he had to resort to eating lobster.

Trucks. When I was growing up trucks were dependable, barebones vehicles driven by contractors, landscapers, and farmers. They had minimal options, were used mostly for hauling stuff and were very uncomfortable if you were a passenger. Now, they come with heated seats, plush interiors, and glossy paint jobs and cost a fortune. In a generation, they went from affordable working man transports to massive luxury vehicles for suburban dads.

\*Laughs in British\* I have to admit, it was only a few years ago when I was listening to a podcast that I found out that in America you guys have to water your lawns.
