1. Has your weekend been busy or relaxing?
2. How often do you dust?
3. Are you excited for March Madness?

Um, I did. I read that you stayed at home at your parent's house and banked a lot of money.
And?
The young adults that I have referenced here did not have that choice. Can't you get that through your head? Both of them were thrown out because their parents think (just as you do) that these kids just need to get off their asses and pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Once again, my social psychology homework comes to life on this board.
Fundamental attribution error.
It totally applies.
FWIW, my stepdaughter doesn't have a tattoo, and the only devices that she owns are a 6-year-old laptop for school, a cell phone (that *we* insist she carry), and a kindle that was gifted to her as she's a voracious reader.
It's not as though she was precisely $479 from being completely independent and decided to buy an ipad instead.
You, OTOH, seem pretty quick to talk about all of your electronic devices and family tattoos.
We are adults with jobs and dont go and buy the latest device every time it comes out and dont have sleeves worth of tattoos. My dh has 3 tatoos from the last 26 years and the total cost of all 3 was probably about $100.
If your husband's tattoos cost all of $100 over 26 years, then why would you think that tattoos are holding young people back from financial independence?

Again, I gave the story of my dh and young kids of today. NOT just me.

and so was my dh. Read my posts.
Did you miss the part where the homeless girl who sleeps on my couch tried the military and was discharged for medica reasons?
She tried that route.
Perhaps you can help me out and name a job that pays a livable wage, offers benefits like health insurance and PTO that requires no higher education, job experience, or skill set? Not one that you could have gotten in the 1980s when you were young, but one that you can get today. Like, where are you pointing your kids to work?

You must not be too familiar with the prices of tattoos. Most of them cost in the hundreds to thousands of dollars.
#1 tattoo...gotten in the army for $25
#2 tattoo.....not sure what year but about $40, not sure of the exact price
#3 tattoo....$25, would have been $100 on a regular day as they were doing special prices
so under $100 and they are small tattoos, not like the kids are getting now.

Again, with no skills, unfortunately this girl might have to work more than 1 job to live on her own or have a roommate. Did she ever live on her own or with someone?
So your point is that tattoos cost thousands of dollars, but not for your husband. Just for other people. His only cost $25 because he's like a super tattoo shopper.
This is getting more amusing by the second.
