No, I was one of those 20 somethings. That was nearly a decade ago though. Everything has changed drastically since then.
As a commercial/industrial HVAC mechanic, most people have no idea on the amount of money it cost to air condition their office space. We recently did a shut down in a high rise building starting at 6pm on a Friday night. Changed the floor unit out and had it back up and running before Monday morning. People on the floor had no idea the job ever happened...
Between electricans, carpenters, sheet metal, pipe fitters, controls, hvac, cleaners, start up company, and building engineers all hands were on deck for 56 hours straight. The cost for the job hovered near a million dollars but it was completed on time.
Nah, it's a common occurrence down here, to no ones surprise.
May not die, but I swear there's a weekly news article of some idiot getting whacked by a train in Florida.

Avoid buying cars from dealerships that have 18 year olds as lot attendants. When I was a lot attendant at ford all the lot guys abused the ever living shit out of everything. I did many burnouts with brand new 5.0s and focus st’s. This was common at all the dealers on our local auto mile.
I believe it. I live across the street from a gal who sells BMWs and Mercedes and she says half the people who buy one really can't afford it.I own/operate a Ford dealership.
I see people daily driving and buying vehicles that have higher payments than their mortgage. I see people signing 25+% interest loans where they'll end up buying the car twice before it's paid off. I see people signing up for 6-7 year payment terms to get the payment they 'can afford', yet they drive 20-25k miles a year, so before it's paid off they'll have anywhere from 130-160k miles.
RTT Reapers?If any nuclear material or asset is ever stolen from either of the two main naval bases that store them then the team that goes after them consists of just Lance Corporals and Corporals and they are the only ones tasked with taking them back. Plenty of other agencies will be on board and assisting of course but it will be about 12-18 Marines in their late teens early 20s on average giving chase and kicking in doors to get it all back, and in that rare case there is no ROEs and no such thing as hostages.

May have something to do with Florida. Id bet you could write several books, I know i'd read themI’m a Firefighter Paramedic in Tampa. The amount of shit I have seen/experienced on calls is absolutely mind blowing. I don’t even know where to start.
The sheer stupidity of society is unbelievable

Their money, their problem. Make yours and carry on. If they’re happy then I wouldn’t give it a second thought
I remember bre x. I know one guy basically list his pension in that.Don't work any more, just golf. Hope golf stories are okay.
About half the guys in the course I play invested in Bre-X, a fraudulent mining company that went to zero. Most made over a million dollars with one guy making over 100 million.
Sounds like a lot, but remember these are Canadian dollars.
When I was younger I would really question it...but then the people that I didn't think should buy a car, went and bought elsewhere. So they ended up with what they wanted and I didn't make any money.
Now I try my best to give some advice, but if they don't want it, no big deal.
