Boomers here still think you need to "pound the pavement" and literally walk from business to business applying for every single job whether you're qualified for it or not or whether you would hate it and not make enough to live or not 😏 "it's still pretty much 1978, you'll do fine changing oil. I had an oil changing job that paid for my apartment, car and all my food and bills"
"But it's only paying 17 an hour, I can't live on that"
"17 an hour!? I was making THAT much only 5 years to retirement. You need to budget better, let me budget your money for you"
"Yeah, but you retired 20 years ago and the cost of living has gone through the roof, I need at least 27 dollars an hour just to scrape by with the necessities, I won't even have money to justify my existence even. There will be no fun had or upwards mobility, just working and paying bills"
"You don't need fun, that just costs money. Find something to do that doesn't cost anything like go for a nice evening stroll."
"But YOU were able to afford all kinds of nice stuff, why can't I have a life like that too for the same amount of effort?"
"Well you might wanna bootstraps with a second full time job then if you want any luxuries"
"Then I won't have any time to and will be working and sleeping the entire time"
"That's what your generations problem is, lazy entitled brats. All of ya!"
