54k is barely a living wage these days. You CAN live on it, but you can’t expect to start a family or buy a house or achieve anything resembling The American Dream.
Sure it’s cheap, but there’s no local opportunities and might be a desert for quality food. Much of rural United States is still not covered by (reliable / affordable) broadband, either.
Im replying to your blanket comment that boomers in general have it easier which they absolutely dont. You like to cherry pick the happy ending stories where boomers sit on their manegerial high chairs like crying babies and choose to ignore that MOST people are struggling right now, boomer or not. Dont discredit hard work.
The boomers had everything easier than we do today aside from the ability to gather information. This ability, by the way, is how we know they had it easy. They’re the true participation trophy generation, and honestly it’s hard for me to tell the difference between a boomer and a high end projector, since they both only do the same thing, it’s just the projector has inherent value.
You want to live the official lifestyle your grandparents had? Move to Mozambique and dont look at the internet for 30 years. They are just starting to move to first world status (50 years ago) can get that good old fashioned projector/participation trophy you dream of. I am sure you can easily work your way to the top.
Five simple actions for a healthier, lower sodium eating pattern:
Fill your plate (and stomach) with fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in sodium and contain potassium which may help reduce blood pressure and risk for other medical conditions.
Select herbs, spices and fresh lemon or lime juice to season your foods. Choosing sodium free seasonings provides plenty of flavor without the negative effects of salt. Give yourself time to adjust to the new tastes.
Enjoy more home cooked meals. Restaurant meals tend to be very high in sodium. By doing more home food preparation you can significantly decrease your overall salt consumption.
Stop eating when you are satisfied. In the Japanese city of Okinawa they refer to this as “Hara hachi bu.” This translates to “eat until you are 80 percent full.” By decreasing your overall portion of food consumed, you will decrease your salt intake. The people of Okinawa have the lowest rates of heart disease, cancer and stroke. And they have one of the largest centenarian populations!
I’m sorry did I miss the headline where Mozambique’s previous generation came out on top after a globally devastating world war, and they had a bunch of fat happy peacetime babies, propelling their now-boomed population to an economic superpower status where there’s so many jobs and hard work is rewarded with fair pay for a balanced family life? Are they about to invent another Internet?
Are their families just trying out and starting up businesses? Can their kids save up for a brand new car by working at the local factory or restaurant?
Wowee it’s amazing the gems you can find on this planet if you look hard enough!
The only notable Mozambique that comes to mind is the one that would make sure these neo-gilded-age crapbags stay down after selling all of us out, generation after generation, including poor boomers who didn’t get so lucky.
Oh, Mozambique? The Mozambique that is “disappearing” journalists who try and investigate the dirty “counter-insurgency” operation happening in the north of the country because the Moz government is intent on allowing Total to loot it’s energy reserves at the expense of the local populace?
Yeah, Clyde… that sounds totally 1st world to me. Totally not a country still at the beck and call of the Global North’s exploitation at all.
Lol wow i say things not in your dickass b cluster club and so i should be avoided. Congratulations, you have officially had your first dialogue with someone outside of your bubble. I bet you would rather I name myself xXx420KillAllPolice69xXx am i right? Smash that bell icon for more racist bullshit takes.

Depends on where you live. Some parts of America are dirt cheap, including housing. Although those areas typically have shit wages too.
Shit wages, shit school systems, shitheel neighbors. Like I said, far from the “American Dream”.
Dirt cheap places have dirt cheap wages.
Yep you definitely answered it right there.

Maybe some boomers don’t now, but relatively speaking they absolutely DID have it easier when they were my age.
I’m not discrediting hard work. I’m simply stating the fact that “hard work” 50 years ago was apparently worth more than “hard work” today.
The person you’re replying to used to be named PatFussy.
I wouldn’t engage with them if I were you. They cleaned up their act a little bit with the new handle, but they still just routinely say dumb shit.
