Sounds like Norman Rockwell's America has foresaken you.WilburHooksHands said:
I have a 6 figure salary and work in arguably the highest demand industry (tech). My partner (who has a higher 6 figure salary than me) and I can't even dream about buying a home within 30 miles of our workplace. Granted, I don't consider myself a millennial (I'm 36), but if we can't buy a house, things have just changed.RaceBannon said:I don't agree with @Sledog .

I graduated high school in 1974 as America was descending in to hell. Guess what? Hard work still worked. Always has, always will
its idiots like mooster running around saying all is lost that need to get a fucking clue
Best thing I ever did was walking away from a career and starting over and working with millennials. We both benefited from it
That's why I defend them here.
But even more it sounds as if you don't like to save Money and probably have too high of a car payment. -

Even in Cali you can get a nice house at your income levels.
When we bought our house the interest rate was double digits
What has changed is the banking laws after the crash. 20% down as a hard number is hard to come up with unless you bank most of your income for a year or two -
The key is get a high salary somewhere then take a promotion somewhere cheaper.
Then your actual spending and saving money doubles or triples -
If both of you make 6 figures send me a plane ticket and I'll have you in a houseWilburHooksHands said:
My point was that we can't dream about it even with our combined salaries.2001400ex said:
You and your partner can buy one together. I'm sure he'll help you clean the house.WilburHooksHands said:

That's a supply/demand and zoning issue, not an inherent problem with capitalism.WilburHooksHands said:

You see, you have the liberty to CHOOSE to live in a place where you can rake two six figure salaries. You also have the liberty to LEAVE and live somewhere else -but, it seems you like your dual six figure incomes.
Plenty of four bedroom houses for sale in the mid 200's in Spokane, Moses Lake, Lewiston, ID, Tri-Cities, along with dozens of others.
But you don't want to live there because....those places are considered.....wait for it.....
Shitholes.
And, honestly, you'd be fairly surprised at the number of millenials flocking to those kind of places simply because the American Dream of owning their own home is still achievable. And that, in turn, will cause the shitholes to no longer be shitholes.
Whereas, Venezuela is still a shithole.

I commute over 40 miles one direction daily because I like a small town atmosphere but a bigger town's paycheck.WilburHooksHands said:

It looked impossible to buy a house when I was younger too, but it wasn't. It just wasn't easy. It never has been. The 50 cent beer was bought with a 3 dollar hourly wage.

That's where Spokane rocks. Sure there aren't as many $100k tech jobs. But if you are worth half a shit, $100k is easy to find and homes are cheap. Of course I bought in August of 09 so there's that.dflea said:

Weed has already been monopolized by everyone knowing how to grow it. The government fucked up that cash grab.BearsWiin said:
I think the poont is that new industries will be created, not that new companies will challenge established industry leaders. Weed, renewable energy, and hoverboards are still up for grabs.Mosster47 said:
Right, because the fucking internet is going to be invented again.RaceBannon said:There is no more competition. Amazon, Google, eBay, and Netflix won. Seriously, what business are you going to start that some titan doesn't already have a complete monopoly on
The people that started those businesses weren't fucking stupid enough to think everything had been invented
CHRIST
How many new major car and oil companies have popped up in the last 50 years that have put a dent in the big boy's wallets?
Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.
Exxon, Shell, BP.
Anymore sound Boomer logic?
Renewable energy is a joke. My holdings in WNDW hit two weeks ago. Thanks for the 212%, but it's a joke. Our president is balls deep in cole.
Hoverboards that catch on fire after three hours?
The internet is already monopolized and the FCC just locked them in.
Millennials will be the generation that brings it all down by waiting for Baby Boomers to die and swooping their retirement dream homes for pennies on the dollar, shopping at thrift stores and outlets, and buying used cars and driving them until they die. The generation after them are even cheaper.
