  • Most people can’t even really afford their car. They are reducing their quality of life, home ownership, putting off any hope of retirement, etc for an object that has a shorter lifespan than most pets.

    Of course they want you to do the same. They need constant justification for staying on this treadmill. The fact that all that time and money is being wasted, is hard on the ego. Especially for anyone that claims they live a frugal life.



  • Accept these downvotes with pride.

    Genx has a deeply seated victim complex.

    Someone was saying the generations slipped over politically but they actual hold 41% of house seats, that’s more than boomers and almost three times millennials at 15%.

    Less represented on the senate (28%) but still second place behind boomers (61%).

    It was clear over a decade ago that genx would not be better than the boomers.





  • A scout troop cannot exist without parent involvement. The national organization doesn’t run them, each troop/pack is a self organizing group not only made up entirely of parent volunteers, but a rotating group as the children age out.

    The fact that scouts has exists in this form for decades indicates this is a new problem.

    Turns out Gen X and millennials are more disengaged than their boomer parents. At least in terms of the type of families who typically participate in scouts.
