      @dbeato damn millenials!

      Hey now..

      If I recall, you're Gen Z, not Gen Y, so you're not a millenial. Post-Millenial - or whatever the name is in use today.

      Correct However, I dont use "FaceTime" as my means of communication. I dont even own a single Apple Product .

      Well, those things are very Millenial. Apple is the "millennial product", brand over substance.

      Everyone I know owns Apple Products.
      It's ridiculous.

      Only because it was given to me by a doctor. Otherwise nope, Android I would have, at this point.

      My friend group, Except for me and one other friend have Iphones and they keep saying "I dont speak broke" but they dont have a car.. so...

      huh - talk about priorities.. /sigh.

      let me guess - they all still live at home too?

      Nothing wrong with living at home as long as you are contributing something to it... or the parents start charging you rent, lol.

      I have a very American way of looking at that - so on the surface I say you're dead wrong. But upon deeper reflection, meh - whatever.

      But still having an iPhone over a car - unless you work from home or are actually taking public transportation, seems like a crazy situation. And this town we live is is horrible for public transport, so while it is there, if you don't live in a very specific part of town, it's pretty useless. i.e. the near bus stop to my house if more than 5 miles away.

      I totally agree with you about an iPhone over a car!

      Getting kicked out of the house at 18 (or whatever) is definitely very much an Americanism. Not something my family has been prone to do. Almost every cousin of mine has (or does) live with their parent(s) at some point after graduating into adulthood.

      It largely depends on the family situation and how well everybody gets along, lol.

      Not an American thing, it's just an affluence vs. cost of housing factor. All countries with similar housing and cost of living ratios have people move out. All countries where income is much lower compared to housing cost have people live at home.

        But you NEED a phone, so having the iPhone is probably only a tiny bit more than some other phone. more, but not a car more. Would having a crappier phone get them a car? Not likely.

        WHAT? why does someone in this position need a $600+ cellphone? Why can't they live with the $150 or less smartphones you can get at walmart ? Then you could have around $500+ to get a car.

            I didn't say it would be a good car. But my first several cars (in 1994 - 1998) were $500 beaters.

                  You might, might have a point... That said - is it still financially wise to buy a $600+ smartphone instead of a $150 walmart special, and save the $450+ and continue saving until you can get a vehicle?

                        We have roof work going on right now. So the house is SO cold since some doors have to be cracked open.

                                  I can give you that one.

                                  I've always got on good with my family, so staying home is [almost] always an option. Some families it's a good idea, other families, it's a terribly bad idea, lol... Play it by ear. I stayed with my folks until I landed a job that could support me and my bride to be.

                                    @dbeato damn millenials!

                                    Hey now..

                                    If I recall, you're Gen Z, not Gen Y, so you're not a millenial. Post-Millenial - or whatever the name is in use today.

                                    Correct However, I dont use "FaceTime" as my means of communication. I dont even own a single Apple Product .

                                    Well, those things are very Millenial. Apple is the "millennial product", brand over substance.

                                    Everyone I know owns Apple Products.
                                    It's ridiculous.

                                    Only because it was given to me by a doctor. Otherwise nope, Android I would have, at this point.

                                    My friend group, Except for me and one other friend have Iphones and they keep saying "I dont speak broke" but they dont have a car.. so...

                                    huh - talk about priorities.. /sigh.

                                    let me guess - they all still live at home too?

                                    Nothing wrong with living at home as long as you are contributing something to it... or the parents start charging you rent, lol.

                                    I have a very American way of looking at that - so on the surface I say you're dead wrong. But upon deeper reflection, meh - whatever.

                                    But still having an iPhone over a car - unless you work from home or are actually taking public transportation, seems like a crazy situation. And this town we live is is horrible for public transport, so while it is there, if you don't live in a very specific part of town, it's pretty useless. i.e. the near bus stop to my house if more than 5 miles away.

                                    I totally agree with you about an iPhone over a car!

                                    Getting kicked out of the house at 18 (or whatever) is definitely very much an Americanism. Not something my family has been prone to do. Almost every cousin of mine has (or does) live with their parent(s) at some point after graduating into adulthood.

                                    It largely depends on the family situation and how well everybody gets along, lol.

                                    Not an American thing, it's just an affluence vs. cost of housing factor. All countries with similar housing and cost of living ratios have people move out. All countries where income is much lower compared to housing cost have people live at home.

                                    I can give you that one.

                                    I've always got on good with my family, so staying home is [almost] always an option. Some families it's a good idea, other families, it's a terribly bad idea, lol... Play it by ear. I stayed with my folks until I landed a job that could support me and my bride to be.

                                    I was told to be gone by my father's second wife shortly after my 19th birthday (age of majority in NE). two weeks later I was out and never went back.

                                          It's ridiculous.

                                          Only because it was given to me by a doctor. Otherwise nope, Android I would have, at this point.

                                          My friend group, Except for me and one other friend have Iphones and they keep saying "I dont speak broke" but they dont have a car.. so...

                                          huh - talk about priorities.. /sigh.

                                          let me guess - they all still live at home too?

                                          Nothing wrong with living at home as long as you are contributing something to it... or the parents start charging you rent, lol.

                                          I have a very American way of looking at that - so on the surface I say you're dead wrong. But upon deeper reflection, meh - whatever.

                                          But still having an iPhone over a car - unless you work from home or are actually taking public transportation, seems like a crazy situation. And this town we live is is horrible for public transport, so while it is there, if you don't live in a very specific part of town, it's pretty useless. i.e. the near bus stop to my house if more than 5 miles away.

                                          I totally agree with you about an iPhone over a car!

                                          Getting kicked out of the house at 18 (or whatever) is definitely very much an Americanism. Not something my family has been prone to do. Almost every cousin of mine has (or does) live with their parent(s) at some point after graduating into adulthood.

                                          It largely depends on the family situation and how well everybody gets along, lol.

                                          Not an American thing, it's just an affluence vs. cost of housing factor. All countries with similar housing and cost of living ratios have people move out. All countries where income is much lower compared to housing cost have people live at home.

                                          I can give you that one.

                                          I've always got on good with my family, so staying home is [almost] always an option. Some families it's a good idea, other families, it's a terribly bad idea, lol... Play it by ear. I stayed with my folks until I landed a job that could support me and my bride to be.

                                          I was told to be gone by my father's second wife shortly after my 19th birthday (age of majority in NE). two weeks later I was out and never went back.

                                          Glad you could make it work for you. 🙂

                                            Hey now..

                                            If I recall, you're Gen Z, not Gen Y, so you're not a millenial. Post-Millenial - or whatever the name is in use today.

                                            Correct However, I dont use "FaceTime" as my means of communication. I dont even own a single Apple Product .

                                            I don't say it shame anyone - I realize that I had a few good/lucky breaks.
