Different times, anon. A lot of us are living this reality - welcome to the new normal.

are you really in your forties, anon?

my dad robbed banks and shot people when he was in his early 20s.

is my law abiding wagecuckery an improvement?

I'm not all that sure

How the fuck did baby boomers inherit the world's richest economy and give us this shit

Smoking pot and doing drugs while following Phish and The Grateful Dead around the country

I can't fucking stand any of the bands he listens to.

Not certain. He was either serving with the UN peacekeeping forces in Cyprus or a bus conductor. He didn't lose his virginity until he was 33 though.

No I'm 22 now. My father is 50. The cars year might be throwing you off. He got it from a ford dealership show room in the 80s with 5000 original miles on it.

I'm 20. At this age, my old man was partying, fucking around in city college and bedding tons of girls. He had a motorcycle and would bring home several different girls a week. He later dropped out of cc and was able to get a decent paying job working for the county.

>way fewer jobs
>overpriced tuition
>degree almost useless anyway, too much competition
>property values insanely inflated
>cost of living far higher
>currency weaker

Many of our problems come from our choices, but not all. Our civilization is in decline overall, and we're victims of this.

Love the dead and love phish. Sad you don't but it's all good.
I'm still a failure though

No idea, dad never talks about his youth. He was definitely a normie, but he looks like Bert from Sesame Street and married a woman over a decade his senior so I doubt he was a Chad.

Yeah, I tried so hard to get into them so my dad wouldn't be completely disappointed in me, but I never really could.

>>35062482

Fuck......that's what I was doing at 22 in the back in late 90s.........I could be your dad. I feel like I just got punched in the stomach.

>>35062623
puff some reefer and greatful dead is alright. They play many instruments at once and its very layered which is fun on reefer

He was either working in a supermarket or starting his career as an electrician. Little did he know he would come to deeply regret forgoing college now that he's cold all the time and has sciatica.

Just you wait. I'm gonna be so much better off than him. He'll just fade away into antiquity (can't even turn a computer on) while I'm making bank in IT and saying "told you so" when the economy collapses. Sheeple are an odd group.

>>35062451
Fuck 'em. Prove to them that we can take the shit they've dropped on us and work our way around it. DON'T BUY THE BOOMERS' OVERPRICED HOUSES.

Tough times breed strong people.

I'm 20. My dad had left foster care after being abused and treated like a slave and joined the marines. He was suicidal and wanted to get killed. Instead he gained the will to live. It wasn't easy, but he went from the skinniest weak guy there to gaining 60 lbs. He was stationed in the Philippines and met a girl. She became pregnant and they got married. My brother was born and my dad was the happiest he had been in his entire life. His original family had only abused him, raped him, destroyed him. The youngest of 12 kids in a home with mentally ill insane parents. No birthdays, no school and a life of childhood crime just to survive. His dad is one of the most evil men I've ever heard about and his mother has been in the loony bin for 40 years and had the habit of forcing the children to torture animals. She was also raped and beaten regularly to the point of brain damage. I never met any of his family members, only heard stories. When I was a little kid my dad used to buy extra birthday presents for me and tell me they were from grandpa, but apparently he had already died.

I'm not sure the details of how he wound up there, but he was in Japan with his new family. My dad went home early to surprise his wife one day and found out she was cheating. He was broken again. He wanted to take his son but she didn't let him. She never allowed him to see his son ever again and he had to leave. I never met him either, he doesn't know I exist. My dad decided to start saving all the money he was making at this point and went back to America after getting medically discharged. He had been sending all of his money he was making to the one sister he trusted so when he got out he could have a good foundation to start anew. When he got home he found out the money was being used to support his entire family's drug habit. He slowly fell into despair and wound up a homeless drug addict/alcoholic and tried to kill himself several times.
