Do I do so often? Hadn't really noticed, honestly. I don't think I said that in a spirit of self-hatred, however. Just thought it'd be a funny thing to say, as well as an excuse to post a meme I like. And I'm glad that you see me in a positive light.
It is A LOT of money.

150K is enough, in some parts of the country, if you are lucky enough to not lose your job, or if you lose your job, you find another very quickly.
Okay, lets say you buy that. Then you pay an additional $3,000 a month in expenses, between bills, insurance, simple cost of living, etc. You are right back where you were to start with, but now you live far enough away from an urban area that your work choices are severely limited, and the income in those areas is half of that in the urban areas in the Midwest alone.Here's a 65 acre property in the piney woods with a very very nice house for 1.9m.

Then why are so many moving to the Christian Nationalist or White Nationalist movements, fi it "doesn't make sense"? Why is Nick's popularity soaring, and Trump's already tanking? I keep pointing out these facts and yet it is ignored by the boomer talking point conservatives.
Great point, I keep talking about the cost of raising a family. I never considered that if anyone in the USA has aging parents who didn't put away a lot of money and/or have good retirement insurance and nursing home insurance, that you now take on this giant burden as well.
Wow, that's ridiculous. I really hope I never end up in a nursing home. These old people get treated like shit there, it's really depressing.
Yea, she has had things stolen, and a lot of bruising. The place is full of Caribbean-African immigrants. I mean, who else are they going to find to do all the dirty work of changing diapers and cleaning up puke/feces for $20 an hour. Her wedding ring is missing and so are some crystals her kids gave her when they were young to hang in the window. I guess the saving grace is she is far enough along she has no idea about any of this.
Money has a lot to do with raising children, they are very expensive.
Who stays home to take care of the elderly then? I assume the wife/mother of the children assumes this burden? Then what jobs are the men working that pays them enough for their wives to stay home?
The way the economy is going, with jobs paying less and less per COL and forcing people to spread across the country to take up new jobs, this is simply going to get tougher and tougher. No one wants to inventory their parents in their last years. It is just a fact of life for many in this country. Most families require both parents to work, and run kids around, and do the chores at home. They simply cannot add on being a caretaker as well. As much as they want to, it isn't feasible for many of them. The person I know requires 24/7 supervision.
