I managed to break the curse and am far more successful than my parents. It happened through a lot of hard work, persistence, a lot of luck, a hefty gift from my ex’s rich aunt and uncle, and even more luck.
Anyone can do it.
Funny thing is, my career is more successful than my parents but their pensions are still more than I earn lmao
The American dream lives on. God bless you, sir.
I’m glad your doing well man
We’re red-circling posts from REDDIT now?!
The quality of the internet diminishes daily.
It’s nothing new, even on reddit.
I hated it there, and I hate it here.
Get off my lawn

Multigenerational households are cool though
Sure, but specifically in a culture where it’s overall disadvantagious to still live at home as a young adult: Not really, ya know?
I love my parents, but I’ve been ready to live separately from them for a long time.
Yes and no. Less lonely than living by yourself and you can cook in bulk, but also you get sick of your family after living with them for a while. Also if you’re cramming 3 generation into a 3 bedroom because of financial constraints that’s pretty rough.

Who do you think bought my car? My parents? Please.
It was their parents
My grandparents have been bailing my parents out of financial trouble their entire lives. Me? I got some cash for a down payment on a house, and I presently make more than ny parents do combined
Yeah…
My mother in law lives with us because of her crushing medical debt. I could go and ask her what she thinks but I think I know the answer.
I’m doing better because they had kids, they didn’t have a pension plan, they didn’t have all the safety nets we’ve got now (no parental leave at all compared to a full year now), they got out of school right when interest rates were extremely high and unemployment too, the list goes on and on…
My parents were bad with money. No terrible, just mad. So I am doing better!
Same. I’m doing better, but man the bar was low.
Perhaps they had better grammar and spell check
Perhaps they had no money because they spended everything in fancy spell chack

Perhaps your deduction skills could use some work if you couldn’t figure out the comment?
God forbid we expect every non native English speaker to have a masters in the language 🤦♂️
Don’t bring religion into this…
Everybody has the same opportunities to be successful in life. And now so more than ever. Go out and grab life by the horns and stop complaining
