>70s
Back then a giant house costed like 50k.
I wouldn't mind doing some charity either if I was payed twice as much and everything costed half as much.

I've said it before and say it again. If UBI was a thing I'd quit my job and write libre software all day.

Lmao how much the cost of living back then?

Now some fucktard with a prison cell sized room will ask for a rent of $800, transport will cost you $40 a month and just to be connected will cost you $50.

Times are different, buddy

Today unpaid internships are not only common but also almost required on certain fields while it's impossible to buy a house working a second "job" in addition to the unpaid internship.

Why do Americans always bitch about how easy their lives used to be and how hard (actually still easy) they are now? Cringe.

This read more autobiographies of these men and see how many bought their houses in a single payment and had to borrow money from a friend to eat that month!
