"You mean you can just BUY them?"

I work for a lot of older people, and it's often hilarious to listen to them complain about young people. This month i was at some ladies home, she said that people just don't want to work these days. She then told me that she always had to work, if she didn't have work, she was ironing clothes for random people to make money.

Wow that's interesting. You and your husband (a guy working in construction, doing odd jobs) were able to buy a house and have two children, while compared to today not even having real jobs at 25? That sounds horrible. I have a job for 21 years now, there wasn't a day that i didn't have a job, no children. The only reason i have a house at 40 is because it was dirt cheap and i renovated everything myself.
