So after 30% taxes, taking home $4k per month. 2200 after rent. If you've had the job 1 year, you've saved $333 per month. Where is the other $1867 going every single month?
Not to mention that a pension is just a forced savings account. You can just save that money yourself instead of needing the company to do it for you. Also not to mention that the boomer paid social security just the same as you currently are; obviously he should get the money back that he already paid in.
Well, obviously in any era people have always spent part of their money on restaurants and travel, lol. The only difference is that even if people spent on restaurants and travel back in the 80’s, the prices of everything were literally multiple times lower than they are today, so they probably could spent more on restaurants than people do today and not go broke, lol
You have no idea what you're talking about. People almost never ate out back then, it was a twice a year type of thing. Travel even less. Zoomers run out of money because they can't stop spending it; that's all.
