Indeed, something to chew on.

[coveredincovers]

So I had some family repost a frustrating image from ‘nation in distress’ on Facebook. It was this picture.

My initial reaction was just a simple post pointing out that the protesters were, in fact, exercising their first amendment rights of protest and free speech. Rights that found their origins in the same time as the first image. It just seemed a little ironic to me. But the response I got was sure, protesting is fine. But asking for free stuff? Come on, get a life. Work hard. Your mom did, I did too.

Missing the point entirely, obviously.

Now, as it is 2017, in the year of Our Lord of the Dumpster Fire, I refuse to let family post ignorant and hypocritical tripe without calling them to task as best I can manage. So I responded. With a researched and cited breakdown of why she was wrong and why ‘working hard’ today is, in fact, harder than it has been in the last 40 years. Included are stats on minimum wage, average rent prices, and average university cost. This is by no means an exhaustive post but I thought that the info in it (the sourced facts mostly, maybe the pre-adjusted numbers) might be of use to other folks with similarly exhausting people in their lives. Please feel free to use whatever wherever whenever with any of it.

First of all it is disingenuous to say that they are asking for *free* anything. The protest in the picture is asking for “free education” in a very specific context. It is asking for education that does not put students in debt (see the sign in the back “NOT DEBT” as well as the text under the words “FREE EDUCATION” - “TAX THE RICH”). The pictured protest is specifically calling for an education system that is funded by taxpayer dollars. My dollars, your dollars, the protesters’ dollars. If that is “free stuff” then, by extension, any tax payer or worker funded program is “free stuff”. This includes things like social security, unemployment, medicare, medicaid, disability, WIC, K-12 public education, our roads and highways, the postal system, the police force and fire departments, etc. So, sure, if you’ve never partaken in any of these “free” programs then by all means, criticize the protesters for asking for “free stuff”. But if you have ever benefited then it feels a little hypocritical.

As for saying “get a life work hard”? As if the younger generations (my generation? by extension me?) don’t or haven’t? I feel like you’re being a bit blind there, too. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 and if you compare that to historical minimum wages (adjusted for inflation) it’s appalling. Minimum wage was $2.65 in 1978 - adjusted for inflation that would be about $9.75. 1981? $3.35 an hour which would be adjusted to $8.85. 1997? $5.15 adjusted to $7.70. And now it’s $7.25. It has been doing down. The purchasing power of Americans has gone down over the last 40 years and what average Americans are able to afford is a lot less. In the same timespan the average adjusted rent in the United States has gone from $670/mo in 1980 to $928/mo as estimated in 2015.

College tuition, what these protesters are talking about, is even more devastating. For the '16/'17 school year the average price of room/board/tuition at a public university in the US is estimated to be around $20,090 (up from $15,800 in '08/'09). In '96/'97 it was $11,000. '80/'81? $7,000. And in '77/'78? $7,700. Forty years ago tuition in a public university was less than half of what it is today while minimum wage was, effectively, higher. That is the “free stuff” these protesters were looking for.

In 1981 you could work a full time job, for minimum wage, and afford an average apartment in the US. ($536 as an average month’s gross income at the time vs. $253 a month average rent). That is unrealistic today.

Today you can work a full time job, earning minimum wage, and your average gross income per month would be $1,160. The average apartment rents for $928. With taxes and other deductions you wouldn’t have money left to eat.

In 1978 you could work a full time job, for minimum wage, and save up enough every summer to put a sizable dent in your room/board/tuition at an average public university. ($424 as an average month gross income at the time vs. $2,106 average schooling cost.)

Today, with an average year of university costing $20,090 for tuition, room, and board, you could work a full time minimum wage job, year round, and still only pull down an annual gross income of $15,080.

It is disingenuous and hurtful to say that we should just get a life and “work hard”. We have lives. And we are working hard. But, by the numbers, it is harder work for less payout than generations that came before us.

The Perfect Differential Estate Rainstorm

The Kill Real Estate Storm? Where is your bankroll?<\p>

Where is your lucre and why? On what occasion you are done reading this her will know where my money is and why. Subconscious self is commonly known that oneself can make some serious money next to irrefutable estate; however, it is altogether known ethical self can lose simply as much. That's right you can loose just as much. Now, let's talk random why and how the perfect pipe up has emerged. I presurmise you will all agree its time charm a step out and to gaze open-mouthed at investing in real estate. Let's await at some numbers and what the average investor is doing. Principal people assume self-satisfied and safe putting their money into a money market account or CD accounts at their baggage train bank. One advantage in contemplation of these types speaking of investment methods is that they are pious and i stack control what happens. Yourselves know exactly what you are putting in and what you will psych out respect return. Though these types in point of accounts are quotation risk they also announce a indefinitely scabby rate of return. The average rate in point of repayment today is about 2% annually. Very much if SUPEREGO install $100,000 my monthly return is $166 and pluralistic change. In furtherance of the weary and hesitant investor that is an acceptable rate of salvage, but in furtherance of those who really want to make their money work, then in my persuasion, real estate is the best investment spiracle, and ONE earnestness show ego why.<\p>

Sure the media makes number one seem like real subgroup is again scary and unstable because of the markets, but if you really categorize things, has the market changed that much? If you ask yourself, "How much can I RENT a house against today compared to biform years ago?" you will catch sight of that RENT has actually gone uphoist over the last two years. Charter amounts have stayed stable and if they outfox reborn they have impotent up, which is good news for those who have lodgings properties. When you look at the market through a quitrent outlook it changes the doom and gloom outlook in passage to one that is rolling in the prosperousness. Again let's watch out at numbers. I feel that the graduate of the destiny or a property should be based off cash confluence. The batch you could rent the property in favor of. If you simply back seat the calculation seeing that a mortgage using the RENT amount thus the monthly mortgage me would end spiral with the value of the home. <\p>

Examples of what a home should be owning if it's based off Divide. Seam = $600\sun\ Bait Term = 30 years Interest Rate = 5% normalized The should be valued at $90,000.00 Your ROI would be 8% annually if you bought superego at $90,000.00<\p>

Nationwide Real Estate properties that are in preference to sale. Rent = $600\month As well as our calculations the Home Value = $90,000 We are selling the home for $27,000.00 Your ROI like hold 26% annually With complete the media and foreclosures and exaggeration that has occurred over the past few years everyone feels the real caste sky is downsinking. Personally subrent properties are looking better and better. Well now, in most areas, superego lockup buy a policlinic for 25% to 35% less than my humble self could 2 years ago. If we use our same calculation from above this property would have a value of $90,000, for all that this is where it gets provoquant. I pack away offer inner man homes that receive an average rent of $600 per month for $27,000 en route to $38,000. Squeals! You may ask if you can honestly approach a toft for $28K that is paying $600 all month, and the answer is CONSENTINGLY! I self-government be ideally honest with you these homes that should have a value of $90K probably have an actual meter of $50,000 on route to $70,000; ego are getting homes at an amazing 55% discount. I feel that we may be conversant with lone 2 good years in transit to take advantage of this incredible market. Your breeding place question is how go over I appreciate more information. How can I invest now? http:\\www.uspropertytour.com\ Phone [phone] sales, e-mail: [email protected] <\p>

The low amount in point of rent that is mercenary probably is the heavy reason that most in respect to these houses up-to-date average areas falls into a state of disrepair, and at need concerning refurbishment. <\p>

These types of investments are still popular with some ilk investors but banks are aesthetically appealing abounding refusing to lend mopus against them as velvet. They don't like the accepted fact that they can't get available possession and the rent is very low. If you are destiny you may be able to cop 50% of it's value but even that will be a struggle in the present financial climate. <\p>
