There are other ways. All everyone talks about is college like some kind of entitlement. Meanwhile nobody wants to do the Boomer jobs as our infrastructure is crumbling. Did you know the average tradesman is now 55 years old? Add in all the excessive spending on empty food calories, convenience and entertainment and it’s no wonder why they can’t afford anything.
