>>1357328Face it: some of you kids were traumatized 12 years ago when the Recession hit the entire world, throwing everything into chaos, sparking all the Social Unrest, revolutions, migrant crises, and so on, and *now* you're under the false impression that owning a car, owning a house, are all some sort of scam to lock you into paying back a loan of hundreds of thousands of dollars after they somehow magically make your house worth *nothing*. Well guess what? ALL THAT WAS AN ANOMALY, THAT'S NOT HOW THINGS NORMALLY WORK. If you haven't noticed things have recovered, houses are worth money again, and owning one is and always has been a good idea and a goal to work towards.
Owning a car gives you mobility, and I don't mean the physical kind, I mean *social mobility*, it shows you're a responsible enough person to own and maintain a vehicle, which is a good sign you're a responsible, mature person overall, and can be trusted with work more important and more complex than flipping burgers or running a cash register.
Owning a house demonstrates that you're not a *transient*, that you're interested in sticking around and building an actual *life* for yourself somewhere, and therefore can be *trusted* with important things and important work responsibilities. The opposite of this is being someone who owns nothing more than what can fit in a """go bag""", ready to run out the door and disappear on a moments' notice.
Put these two things together, along with more of an education than just a highschool diploma, and real companies will be willing to offer you real careers, not just wage-slave hourly-paid """jobs""" that anyone off the street can do.
So how about you guys calm down and *think* about the future, and by 'future' I mean more than the next 24 hours, mmkay? Stop living in the constant state of terror you seem to be living in and actually *plan* for a future instead of just *reacting* to everything, mmkay?
