Yeah, life sucks sometimes. But I have yet to see someone complaining about how hard millennials have it who doesn't also have the latest iPhone and MacBook, living in an expensive city.
If you're really serious about growing your net worth, then stick with the old hardware and move to somewhere between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. Prices are low enough to live the "American Dream" there, but it's not the cool, hip living of SF Bay, Seattle, or NYC.
- yarrel 11y agoThat's because you are reading about it on the Internet. If they didn't have the devices to access the Internet you wouldn't hear about it. If you're really serious about hearing from people between the Rockies and the Mississippi, move there and ask them.
- MadManE 11y agoI grew up there. It's not pleasant, but it is ripe with opportunity to seriously grow your worth. And 5-year-old hardware is hardly inaccessible to the internet. It is orders of magnitude cheaper, though.

- wvenable 11y agoI'd love to move somewhere cheaper but jobs my wife and I do don't exist there. Which is quite likely exactly why those places are cheaper.

- popmystack 11y agoYou're going to compare necessary tools that cost nothing over their lifetime to having things like retirement, cheap rent, benefits, and a strong job market? "Life sucks sometimes" is also a thought terminating cliche, as such you should really avoid using it -- if you're actually trying to contribute to the discussion instead of sounding like a daft moron.
