Then stop whining how expensive it is.You pay 600 a month for cable and a cell phone?Life is way more expensive. My parents got their house, which is 2x the size of mine for 25% of the cost. The cable bill back then was like $50. Now I pay $250. There was no cell phone bill. Now I pay $350. Car prices and gas prices have skyrocketed. College tuition and food costs are way up. Middle class gets squeezed. Wealthy don’t care and the poor get enough Govt support to continuously game the system.
Get HULU and a Trac phone
I have six lines on my phone and no, I like my cable but thanks. I know there are alternatives. I also have Amazon Prime and Netflix.
Whining? I am stating facts. And these are just some of the expenses. You picked out two...seriously?
And no one is forcing you to spend so much on things like cell phones and cable.
And yes everything is more expensive than it was 40 years ago tell me at what point in time was that never true?
Seems to me the middle class is getting squeezed because most of them live well in excess of their means. If your parents were middle class I'll bet you that they didn't spend extravagantly on things like phones and TV but you do and you're saying it's because you're getting squeezed?
Cell phones were not readily available and cable was cheaper. Mostly housing was much cheaper that was the delta. Additionally school sports were free and I pay $500 per kid per sport excluding unis and special events. Taxes and gas are much higher. Tuition was 75% cheaper at colleges. You may attack me all you like but life is waaaay more expensive now. Few companies still offer pensions. My ex employer paid for my MBA. That is rarely available now. Oh and you can go f@ck your sanctimonious self.
