I'm not talking about 100 years ago. You can still find reasonable ways to rent housing. If it's too expensive where you live, and the jobs aren't there, then you move. That's what people in the past did. How do you think all those people wound up in Detroit?

People are still wasting money at Starbucks and on buying expensive cars and gadgets they don't need. They're also buying more house than they need.

If you can't find a job, make one. Find something you like to do and are good at, and make a job out of it. There are a lot of jobs you can make for yourself that cannot be automated in the foreseeable future.

Okay. Just go on believing that you require two incomes to live, where your definition of live is live it up compared to my definition of live, which is to live within my means.

That's part of the country's problem: living beyond our means.

Those weren't commands. They were suggestions based on a lifetime of experience. I've had the "data" for decades.
