Funny how debt is forgivable when it’s tied to yachts, hedge funds, or failed businesses but suddenly becomes a “character flaw” when it’s tied to education, healthcare, or survival.
I genuinely feel sad that current 20 something’s missed the era of $500 rent, $3 happy hour, 5 bags of groceries for under $100, multiple job offers immediately after applying, and going out to party without social media apps at your fingertips. It was a TIME.
You ARE privileged in 2025 if: • Your parents paid for college • You own property under 35 • Healthcare doesn’t terrify you • You’ve never had medical debt • Mental health care is accessible This isn’t guilt it’s awareness 💙
American health insurance is like: Pay $800 a month. Deductible is $1,000,000. No, your doctors visits aren't free. Oh you need this life-saving care? Denied. Also, fuck your teeth.
Banks won’t let you borrow $100,000+ for anything without a credit history or co-signer, but the Government will let you take out $100,000+ worth of student loans debt without a problem. Student loans are a scam.
Hot take: Most financial advice on the internet is for people who already have money. There is too big of an education gap, and advice often misses the beginners.
Not to be overdramatic but if the price of houses had risen at the same rate as median income since 1970 then a house in 2025 would cost an average of $138,000.
took 28 years to realise that no matter what the meeting is about, if you randomly chime in with 'it's just about finding that balance' people will always agree.
