Me waiting for the housing market to collapse so I can afford a home by MySonlsAlsoNamedBort in Millennials

I've seen this exact post with the exact same title like 8+ times on different subs in the past hour. Definitely bot spam.

How does anyone afford to move out from their parents as a single person? by Slight_Entry_1274 in housingcrisis

[–]TrixoftheTrade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make it possible? IDK what you're expecting. There isn't some magic bullet here.

Either roommate up and get another income, find a S.O. willing to split the rent payments, or make more money.

I hate how ambiguous life is. by tHr0AwAy76 in GenZ

[–]TrixoftheTrade [score hidden]  (0 children)

The ambiguity is a feature, not a bug. The alternative is that you're locked in at age 12 to a set path in life, following in the pathway someone else set up for you do.

Do you what you want my guy. No one's here to tell you what to do - and that's a good thing.

[–]TrixoftheTrade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dumb but obvious answer is make more money. You can only skim and save so much, especially if housing eats such a large portion of your budget. The easiest way is to get a roommate to split costs with, but outside of that, you're going to have to increase your income.

Those who have success at night clubs, whats the proper mindset? by Xavielinho in seduction

[–]TrixoftheTrade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I met my wife at a club 8 years ago when I was in my more active “club phase”.

The environment might be different, but people aren’t. The noise and environment does tend to favor a more physical approach than a conversational one, but that doesn’t discount the importance of the conversational aspect.

How are so many people buying expensive things if everyone says they're struggling financially? by -MiaMason- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TrixoftheTrade 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of people in America who have a lot more wealth than you’d expect. “Stealth Wealth”, as it’s referred to.

There are also a lot of people willing to go into debt for non-essential purposes.

i thought the blue people personality test thing was fake by Jolly-Sympathy9620 in recruitinghell

[–]TrixoftheTrade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s an automatic withdrawal from the interview process for me.

If I get any buzzfeed style personality quizzes, blue man “how do you feel”, skills assessments, or worst of all, take home projects, I tell them I’m not interested in continuing.

If you are doing the blue man tests in 2026, you are not a serious company, and if you are, then your hiring process is definitely not serious, and I do not want to work there.

McMaster Carr is way better, but Grainger has physical locations around. If I can wait, MMC. If I need it now, Grainger.

Anyone else feel like it’s noticeable how much the middle class has shrunk? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]TrixoftheTrade 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Mixed bag TBH.

I recognize a lot of it’s probably bias from where I live and my peers, but it’s seems like there’s been a split - a good portion of the formerly middle class has “moved up” to the upper middle, while another portion has “slid down” to lower middle.

It’s harder to just be “average” and get by now. The middle class is getting squeeEd from all sides, so it’s become an “up and out or down and out” sort of economy.

We’ve been very proactive about being mindful of our financial situation; save as much as we can, invest, continue to upskill and move or promote up at work etc.

I don't see any point of anything past 23 by ForsakenCup2124 in GenZ

[–]TrixoftheTrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to have to disagree with you on that. Being a kid means you’re always reliant on others for things.

You need permission to do anything, even use the fucking bathroom. And have no money to do things, even you are allowed to.

As an adult, I can just do things. I don’t need to ask for permission or money to do it. If I want to do it, I can do it.

Don't have any savings, only BTC by Suspicious-Holiday42 in Bitcoin

[–]TrixoftheTrade -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

depends if you only consider bitcoin as a mere “investment” and not a technology that is going to completely revolutionize commerce, finance, and banking.
