You're confused with punk. And the saying was from the early days of punk, so late 1970's early 1980's.

Youtube shorts are like Instagram reels, nobody likes them but they are probably good for "engagement" aka keeping people on the site for as long as possible.

No thank you, though it was a great time!

I'm turning 50 in September.

Thanks, I will. Luckily I realized the wrong quick enough. It wasn't the knock out kind of failure, and they installed three stents in my arteries the very next day. Feeling good right now, though side effects of some medications can suck at times.

I had a real one last year, it was bloody awful and not like anything I'd ever experienced before.

I really wouldn't know if that last statement is true. We were only discussing housing, so not all of the basics. Also, like I said earlier, interest rates on mortgages were higher in the past. I would also consider this when comparing, because the interest can be more than total debt.

But is it also the average household salary? Most boomers were single income. Then in the late eighties early nineties people realized that you could get higher mortgages in a double income, and as a result houses got a lot more expensive. Also, interest rates have declined a lot since the eighties, which also allowed people to borrow more.

Those would be gen X.

Also flying to Vietnam for a government paid vacation when they were 18 years old.

Pick a study which fits you curriculum wise. It doesn't have to perfect, as long as it's interesting enough and it's doable for you. If you're lucky you'll figure it out during your study years, otherwise you'll figure it out after you start working. In my experience, people with a somewhat fitting education tend to stumble into a job they like. Also remember a job is just that, a means to pay for your lifestyle.

I'm sure you will, and I wish you all the best. At least our bunch is more of "talk much do little" variety. It helps that it's a four party coalition, who can't even agree on the day of the week.
