Would somebody tell me how you’re supposed to “pay” for that if you don’t have a job in the first place? You could give up having sex, I suppose, although that would also mean giving up romantic relationships as well, at least for heterosexuals. But as for the rest…

Pay for your mortgage? Where did the person get the down payment? Christ, that alone shows how out of touch the person who wrote that is. Most struggling young people I know have rent, not a mortgage payments. College loans? Well, how are you supposed to improve your prospects of getting a job if you don’t go to school? Food? Well, I guess you could just stop eating. Cell phones? Um… have you ever tried to apply for a job without a phone? I did when I first got out of college. Rather, I should say I tried because you can’t. I finally had a friend let me put down his phone number.

That image should read, “I know nothing about the real world, which is why I can be so smug.”

Obviously, I’m responding to the tweet in the first comment, not the post.
