    I do marketing for a Fortune 500 company and set aside a portion of my annual bonus to cover a game. It also helps that we live significantly below our means, so the bonus is treated like a bonus.

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    Blue collar plumbing and electrical industry jobs pay great and there isn't college time and money overhead.
    Friends kid got out of tech school and immediately started working as a machinist for $20 an hour and has almost doubled that in 2 years.

    It also depends where you live. $80,000 a year doesn’t go as far in the northeast as it does in the Midwest and south. When an “inexpensive” house is $300k. Income doesn’t go as far.

    It’s super unfair to be judgemental unless you know someone’s exact circumstances.

    Quoted from Spencer:

    Total 100% bullshit and so far from the truth its laughable. The reason so many 20-30's "kids" live at home is because they are lazy. I work with them everyday, its painful to watch. A fucking smoke is more important because hey, I'll just complain later...
    This world isn't put in place to give you anything, you have to work for it. With the right attitude towards work and family can get you anywhere you want to go.
    I was given NOTHING. No inheritance, no yearly gifts like my friends get, no wife's family for help...
    Paid for our entire wedding ourselves, live in a brand new amazing 4000 sq/ft house in an area that has horrible job loss, have two girls 11 and 9, 3 cats, 3 expensive vehicles, a whole basement full of games, go to Punta Cana twice a year and live an amazing life.
    Pathetic, lazy, complaining people can piss off.
    Went to school 4x for 2 months with-in a 2 year period. Oh, and I actually put in an effort everyday...
    Sorry, end of rant.

    This is VERY presumptuous and intellectually lazy. Don’t be an a-hole.

    Quoted from Spencer:

    LOL, must have hit a nerve with a lazy person.

    Ummm. No. Just calling you out.

    Quoted from Spencer:

    On what? Actually working hard? lol

    Painting with a broad brush about an entire generation. It’s lazy. The people you work with might be lazy, but that’s not representative of all or even most 20-30 year olds.
