Comment on Its still possible but harder with each passing generation
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years ago100% correct. No shortcuts.
I dated feminists in Germany for years. Finally grew a pair and moved to a more traditional country. Spent years learning language and culture, and dated village girls who wanted to be mothers. Before agreeing to be her bf, we agreed on how many kids we want, how we will handle money and jobs. The kids will learn and speak her culture first, then mine.
Went to American College too, spent ~60k. Loved it but if I could redo it, I would invest the cash better. Even paying for tech certifications would be a faster return on investment compared to private college. I think public college is way cheaper, and for hard workers, they still learn quite well.
My new house in the city from last year is worth 50% more, but I worry about increase in living costs, i.e. restaurants will pay higher rent so food prices will go up etc. Like you, I am planning to sell mine, and move to a bigger land in a rural area.

I agree. College has always been for 120+ upper middle class kids to get a finishing lesson in life, not a career program. It's worthless as that.

I do generally agree but one issue is white people going into degrees that don't provide a lot of remuneration.
The younger Whites avoid STEM which results in lots of lib arts degrees becoming barristas.

Lib arts degrees are also necessary for almost anything on the business side. Let's face it: most of STEM can't communicate with anything BUT computers.

My engineer friend makes probably four times more than me and in another two years he will get some pension from his company for life that is a third of his current salary which is.... Probably more than my current salary.
He did better than me.
Also, not white.
