You’re probably right. But I bet the doctor knows the difference. I guess we’ll never know.

I’m glad you feel that way. And I’m happy you make a decent living. You’re living the life I want to live. If I had the money to support my family that way, I would. But I don’t have that kind of money. And I STILL feel that I am not obligated to any of my parents money. My parents did more than give me money, my parents taught me how to wipe my but, pay a bill, and have a good work ethic. And I believe I will never make an income of 90k. Not for lack of effort, but because I like the job I have, despite it not (nor will it ever) pay well.

But that’s just the way the world works. Some people get better jobs and save it for themselves, and some people save it for their family. I wish everyone could live the latter life, but that’s just not a sane way of thinking.

I won’t ask my parents for money, just like I would never ask you for a hand out. I will earn my way in life, and if that means I’ll never make enough to live comfortably, then I guess that’s the hand I’ve been delt. But not matter what happens, I’ll always be proud to tell everyone: hey, I live on my own. Hey, I bought that car with my own money. No my parents didn’t give me any of it.

Maybe I’m just too conceited to ask for money, but I want to live my life the way I want, and that’s by earning everything I have. On my own. With my own efforts. And if you think that’s a horrible way of living, then maybe I am wrong for thinking that way. Maybe I should tell my parents I deserve their money. But I won’t, and probably never will, and I believe wholeheartedly that my way of thinking is the right way.

Sorry you’re going through that bud. To us that have few or no friends, the holidays can be a very depressing time of the year. But, in time, if you put in the effort, you can make friends or at the very least, make the most of what you have.

Hopefully this doesn’t sound too conceited, but I truly hope you find happiness my friend.

You know, it makes me wonder how that works. Because most of the time, they get the prescription right, even though, for the most part, we only guess which one feels right to us, even though, to us, one and two look practically the same.

And yet, you’re still here. Your still alive. If you’re not living off your parents income and yet believe your obligated to some of that money, you’re part of the problem. Where do you think that money comes from?

The only thing your proving to me right now is that you don’t want to put in the effort to make more money.

And just an FYI: there are people in our generation that DO make a decent living, working good paying jobs, and NOT living off thier parents money. And do you know what they’re doing right now? I’ll tell you what, they’re NOT bitching about wanting their parents money, because they have the skills necessary to get it themselves.

You tell me congratulations on living in low income? It wasn’t that hard, a simple Google search is all it takes to find out where the low income housing is. And although I DO live in low income housing, I pay full price for it, because I make too much money. Let me reiterate that: $18 an hour is too much money to qualify for low income housing. But, my apartment is a studio that is about 35x35 sqf. You’re damn right it’s cheap, because I don’t need a 4 bedroom 3 bath house to get by. I get by just fine living with my cat. I put my money into my 401K just like my parents did, and guess what? It worked out for them, and they lived during the Great Recession. They lived a life just as hard as yours.

Look, I’m not saying there aren’t greedy, shity parents out there who don’t give a damn about their childrens future. They obviously exist.

But blaming an entire generation(s) on the problems of ours is not going to fix said problems. They aren’t going to give us the money, no matter how much we beg, just like their parents didn’t do for them. The only thing we can do is stop looking at the past, and focus on the future.

I know it looks bleak and the grass is always greener on the other side, but the world is not going to end because our parents decided to splurge on themselves. There are 3rd world countries out there that make even less than any of us do, and they’re surviving. What right do you have to ask someone else for money if you aren’t willing to earn it yourself?

I had a Furby. It used to talk to me from my closet while I slept… Does that count?

If your serious, Straight Talk has flip phones that work on Verizon networks. I saw one at Walmart just the other day.

I feel that smaller numbers with a bigger impact is far more satisfying than big numbers with little impact.

Also, I’m too lazy to count how many days I’ve been alive. Lol.

Once again. They earned that money themselves. You can’t blame our parents on what million dollars corporations are making. Out parents are not all part of the 1%, they earned their living just as much as you need to earn your own. If you want more money, get a better job, or start your own business. We have the resources necessary to do just that, right at our fingertips, literally.

It’s the amount of effort your putting in that makes a difference. But please, go ahead and keep living off your parents income. Might as well move back in and live in their basement too, so you can spend all your time on the internet, squalling over how much your parents are not giving you money.

Oh and by the way, just remember that when you were a kid, they bought your clothes, they paid your rent, they bought your food, and they paid for your schooling. And you have the audacity to ask them for more.

I’m not a smoker/vaper so my opinion doesn’t really matter here. But from a sober perspective, I believe that switching to vaping CAN be good, as long as you’re willing to follow the rules diligently.

The biggest problem I can see going down would be that vaping can be more addictive because you can put more nicotine in it. So if you plan on getting one for a family member, make sure they are actually willing to quit. Because there is a possibility that you can make the addiction worse if they have the opportunity to put even more nicotine in their system.

Once again, this is from an outside perspective, if I’m in the wrong vapers, please let me know.

It doesn’t cause me problems. I get by just fine.

Here’s a fun fact for you: ADD is not an official classification anymore.

You’re either ADHD Hyperactive or ADHD inattentive. I’m diagnosed with the latter.

I’ve been diagnosed since I was 7 lol. Glad you noticed.

I make less than $18 per hour and I can still afford rent without roommates, buying my own car, buying my own food and STILL afford my own monthly services.

Is it cheap? Of course not. Am I saving money? Barely. But here’s the thing you’re not considering:

In about 20 years When all the Boomer/Z generations are retired and not working to earn money, where do you think all that money is going to be? If you think they will have all the money while our generation is running the government, then you sir/ma’am lack foresight into the future.

The money isn’t going to magically disappear, it will still be there and you will still be working to earn your fair share. It isn’t going anywhere.

Save your money now, so you don’t have to ask your parents for money later.

TLDR: Grow up and quit relying on your parents for everything. There’s a reason we become “adults” when we turn 18.

I think flip phones are more likely. I’ve contemplated several times of turning my phone in for the old flip phone. Might just be the nastalgia talking though.

Mark Rober is always a good one. And Vsauce if you prefer OG YouTube quality.

I got about 32 points in Life. My score goes up every 365 days. I’m hoping to make a world record some day.

Dude, I think you made your sandals wrong… And now you can’t unsee it. You are very welcome.

I like watching OddTinkering. They take broken stuff and refurbish it in ASMR style. Very satisfying to watch.

Weakly supported? Yes. But highly probable? Also yes.
