Son and all his friends applaud this guy.
The younger folks are getting screwed.
They can't afford to buy a home, hell they have to live with roommates to afford rent.
Working a full time job with a part time gig and he still struggles to save.
College graduates all. And what kind of life do they have to look forward to?
I've told him to go into a trade, electrician, plumber, engineering.
If he does that he could afford to pay his student loan and have money to save for retirement.
Which comes up faster then he can believe.
