Final truth about cost of living, job crisis, youth unemployment

[Seth Walsh]

Candidate	Balance sheet reality	Salary needed	Employer sees
Living at home / spouse-funded / returning after gap	Housing subsidised	€30k–€35k	“Flexible, affordable, grateful”
Young renter with degree/debt/no family support	Full survival cost	€40k–€55k	“Expensive junior”

Nothing will be done about "AI taking jobs" until it takes the jobs of the owners, and will that ever happen?

The employer is not only buying labour. They are indirectly exploiting:

• parents’ spare rooms
• spouses’ income
• inherited housing
• pension-era family stability
• low/no rent legacy positions
• people re-entering work who do not need market-clearing survival pay

They are competing against other people’s family capital.

That is why “just get any job” is often terrible advice. A bad salary is not neutral when you rent. It locks you into burn, stress, low status, no savings, no mobility, and no room to take upside risk.

The real divide is becoming balance-sheet access, not just income.


A person with family support gets:

1. Housing runway — can live at home, avoid rent burn, save deposit faster.
2. Loss absorption — can take career risk, move city, wait for better roles.
3. Capital bridge — help with deposit, legal costs, interview clothes, transport, courses.
4. Psychological leverage — less forced into bad jobs just to survive.
5. Network inheritance — introductions, taste, norms, room access.

I think it's pretty water at this point that the job market no longer rewards skill we have a job market that filters for financial endurance.

ethnic culture beats out white culture when it comes to this ngl

-there’s no shame in living with your parents in your 20s
-ethnic communities are much more collective and looking out for one another is imperative
-everyone knows someone with connections
-there is a sort of shared solidarity between ethnics that doesn’t really exist in white communities

this is why it’s not uncommon to see ethnic kids working as lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc, despite their parents being poor immigrants who worked as labourers or other low status jobs

ethnics and jews are right about this

Filters for financial endurance/family balance sheet. Then still underpays "juniors", locks them into low upside paths, then shift the blame onto younger people for being "too junior" after 5-7 years. Keeps them in low upside. While managers and owners compound their money, network and status ad infinitum, and then have larger families.

I always believe that reproduction would veer towards economic determinism, and that genetic determinism in terms of life outcome and marriage market, class etc IS NOT the real driver.

Had to deal with so many people on here saying looks are everything. And "muh genetic determinism". It's balance sheet and family/dynasty capital allocation determinism.

That is what affords someone the "calm" across a lifetime. Family economics influence your nervous system.

Their parents understood the sacrifice too. Many white boomers think all it took was their firm handshake in 1986, then they felt like it was "their own decision" to make retarded investment losses in the 2000-2010s, thinking. My (white) kid just needs to shake the man's hand, right?

Yes ethnics and jews win on this one. They are far more shrewd than they let on about survival/payoff realities.

Good. Now your job is, whenever you work, capture as much of the surplus as you can’t Aim to hit an absurd savings rate (near 90%).

If your family is making dinners, not charging you; then don’t spend a penny

Yeah Im a huge gambling and drug addict but since yesterday Im on a waiting list for 2 rehab facilities and that shit would cost me 150k+ cause Im supposed to be there for MONTHS and I told my drug counsellor/therapist 'cant they just give me the money for bimax' but no I have to wage slave again but if I am suffering and my country/countries insurance pays for like everything I get clean I get on ssris to normie max and stack my money. Then Im 30 and probably buy land and be self suffocated instead of chasing beauty
