Young married men (Millennials) hate being the breadwinners

So glad I escaped.

Ha! My brother got married a few years ago. His wife lost weight for the wedding, but now is so huge it would take two of her wedding self to fit in her clothes. One in each pant leg!

I think she is still full-time employed btw,and no kids. Marriage bypasses the employment level apparently =)

I work with a 26 year old who seems to spend all her time going out, lusting after Alphas and spending all her money on clothes. She rents a shared house, has credit card debt and literally lives paycheck to paycheck. I know it is payday as she will return from lunch with bags and bags of new clothes.

As we know, she will hit her early 30s, start to panic and try and marry a blue pill guy with a house and good job so she can sit at home all day.

But Tinder and online dating have ment that getting pussy has never been easier, so why would any man want to write a cheque against her when there are a never ending line of sluts giving sex away for free?

For women, everything eventually boils down to Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

They are all like that. From 22 through 45. At different ages depending on their intelligence they panic. 35 seems to be where the realistic ones begin panicking. At 45, lol, I don’t know what they possibly think will happen at that age. That’s where they try to force themselves on any man with a pulse, but even the beta males are disgusted…usually.

No s~~~.
Being the bread winner is stressful.

For a married man, it’s a responsibility. For a married woman, it’s a hobby or a means to an end like a holiday. Hence men get more stressed.

Think how many men work 2 or three jobs to support their family in the current s~~~ economic climate. Now point to any woman in the western world who works 3 jobs to allow her husband to stay home and enjoy the kids growing up (and do a bit of housework, let’s not forget that burden).

Not one. You would not find ONE.

The reason is because Millennials are the lazy, entitlement, take-no-responsibility generation. They worry more about what’s going on the phone and Facebook than establishing a responsible working life. This is the game generation that won’t eat a bowl of cereal, because they say it’s too much work. Face it, they care more about tech more than the economy and the job market.

My dad didn’t stay with my grandparents when he was in his 30s; he started his first job at age 10 as a golf caddy, and was out at age 24. No, this generation doesn’t want to work and get out of their parent’s way. Can only imagine where this generation will be when their parents die and they have nothing to show for and no money saved up.

As a gen Y (or maybe gen Z, the labels keep changing) I feel compelled to partly defend and comment on this.

The world is much more crowded than it used to be, and moving out usually means moving into a place that’s simply owned by somebody else’s intrusive Baby Boomer parents. Unless you pay more for the luxury dealing with professional real-estate agents, you’re likely to be playing a game of parent-swap with a flustered menopausal Dame of a landlady who is prejudiced against you because she has her own “adult boys”.

If you want to buy your own place, banks strongly prefer couples which they say is because of the higher income, but I sense a bit of a racket there too. There’s basically no way for young people to gain any independence, except by sacrificing ALL of their time and effort, i.e. their actual independence, just for a piece of real-estate.

In my line of work I sometimes see the interactions between teenagers and their gen X parents, which leaves me scratching my head and sometimes laughing inside. The parents are often over-involved, over-caring, they want to live vicariously, and they get hung up on petty bulls~~~. The child sees that they’re stuck inside this tangled web of control, and what do they learn?
If they act lazy, this is a kind-of pushback against their parents who seem drug-addicted to the “reality TV” that is their child.
Ditto if they get low grades at school.
Any hobby that they have, gets poisoned by soppy support and smothering adulation. Why should other people gain such an inordinate amount of happiness because of something you’ve done? Parents can emotional vampires in that way, and the children hate it.

Believe me, it’s worth the sacrifice. It might take a few years, maybe a decade, to see how, but it’s ultimately worth it. Especially after you’ve sacrificed to purchase your second piece of real estate and let it start earning for you.

I get in the long run yes but what if you travel alot or have frequent job shifts? If every few years or so your job requires you to move then buying a house is not a good option.

Esepecially since in our economy buying a house is 15 to 30 years of slavery in a unsteady market that only guarantees part time jobs.

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.
