You can save you're just not doing it right. Once you're in debt on the other hand it can be very hard to get out.

yes. all of this. yes

So much fun having crippling college debt, car payments, rent too high, one parent income because sitters want the same amount I’d get paid

Not sure where the cut off is.. I'm 35? But yeah, Id like more money please. Alot of it is in rich peoples offshore accounts sadly. Can haz?

CommanderShitFace
Me and my best friend are constantly saying that death would be so much cheaper than being alive. The funeral is a one-time payment.
AikenDrumTheNonbornKing
So crazy that it's not even totally free to die
DidItForScience
It's not just millenials saying this.
theswissgirl
In Switzerland to just live it cost ~350$ per month because the health insurance is mandatory.
aahoss
They charge that even if you don't have a job? That would never fly in the US
Yes even if you don't have a job
Oh and also for the kids, it's less, like 200 it also depends on medical conditions, know you better understand the high salary
Jilhoa
To be fair, it depends on what you spend your money on and how much you spend aside from the essentials. Essentials are expensive though.

10/10 would prefer dying than living paycheck to paycheck with medical debt over my head. Thx.

Don't know your situation, but medical bankruptcy is a thing you might want to look into.

There was recently a case of a woman with a bear eating her face that thought of how dealing with health insurance would be worse 1/2
than the experience of a bear eating her face, WHILE the bear was eating her face. She was right, dealing with them was worse. 2/2

For some reason (I'm tired) I read 'medical' as 'medieval'; how sad is it that it still works ?

Emigrate, Canada, Uk, Australia, New Zealand.. all have a piblic health system. Canada and UK best, if I was an American I'd head north bro.

GenX/Xennial here, my millennial friends are trapped in rental hell and my GenX friends can't afford to have more children. Shit's broken.
ArbitraryMorte
More kids means you could have one. As is I never can.
OnlyPositiveFavourites
I'm a millennial. My partner and I crunched numbers. We can't afford any kids. Income unlikely to significantly change until we're in our
40's, so we'll consider fostering. But fuck. It's ridiculous ?
Targe0
Sorry to hear that. That's a tough thing to come to terms with, but at least your responsible enough to think ahead like that.
But people poorer than you have children? I really don't understand this mindset
greentights
Maybe they weren't thinking of the finances when they found out. A large percent of kids are unplanned in US. Also about standard of living
Tattr
That sounds irresponsible.
Penth13f
You gonna revolt or are you gonna have your children bear that burden?

Protested on social/climate issues & vote Left/Green to get my voice represented. Hasn't worked but not quitting. Kids pushing climate now.

Bear arms, and make them regret making it an amendment.

I'm glad you're doing well. It's not easy being happy. You've probably worked really hard for it, so congrats.
Thank you for the positive feedback

I find most people who say this lived at home until nearly 30 and had parents pay for their post-secondary education.
Muffdiver9
I'm still living with a family member, I pay for rent and school, but it's still way cheaper than an apartment.
aspensmonster
Have you tried this one weird trick called not paying rent for a decade? Everyone can do it!
I moved out when I was 18. Please let me know if you want more details.

There is much great about it. But i guess thats not the point. It is all about possibilitys. As long as you live, there is an possibility.

You also have the choice to stop existing, or to be happy, or healthy, or whatever. Stop being such a nihilist

I hate this argument, because on the one hand its true, but it also goes against the fundamental principle of life
Gabiscuiti
You give consent with every breath.

That‘s like telling a kidnapped person that not killing themselves is consent to being held prisoner.

That's not how it works. The first several sperm to make contact just erode the barrier around the egg, a middling sperm actually gets in.
WhichIsIt
But you continue to exist by choice
There is no guarantee that there is no afterlife, where you would continue to exist. Also maybe they are a christian and think they might go
to hell if they ended their life, which would be far worse than this life.
Bacxaber
Depending on where you live, that's incorrect.

Suicide is illegal in the majority of the 'civilized' world. If one is law-abiding, then yes, you exist without your consent.
