Yep." The median price of a home sold in the United States in January 1970 was $23,600. The median price of a home sold in the United States in January 2011 was $240,100. As of May 2019, the U.S. median home price was $315,000."
@@jasadin But you literally have to on purpose try to make less than 80k. 100k jobs are sprouting on indeed and linkdin like cherry blossoms right now. It isn't hard, sure would be nice to have a mortgage payment of 600 rather than 11000 but easy peasy still.
When he said ‘$5000’ and started talking about ‘buying a house’ I was crying lmao this is such a sad reality
I put less than 5 grand down for my house last year. I was 24 making $13 a hour, but built my credit and used my 401k for the deposit. I'm gonna guess he lives in Cali or New York. Those states look messed up from the outside looking in. No offense if anyone lives there.
Matthew Christy you were lucky enough to have a 401k with money in it dude. That is also not a reality for everyone. Do you have kids? Or a disability? Or an aging parent to care for full-time while also working?
@@squidleyskidley you're right I am very lucky. Alot of people nowadays are too though. You can do it with a 401k or without one and the money was in it because I put it there. I didn't have kids because I chose to wait. I was lucky to not have to take care of my parents yet, but that time is approaching soon, they didn't save anything and are almost past being able to work. Most people aren't disabled also. What I ment was if you do have $5000 you can afford to buy a house in the majority of the US. You need to take responsibility and be attentional though. I see people with more luck than me not being responsible and wasting potential. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do.
Matthew Christy I appreciate your response and def can see where yer coming from. As someone who has a chronic disability though, I just want to push back on your statement about disabilities not affecting most folks. Here’s a summary from the most recent census that states nearly 1in 5 people have a disability:
www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/miscellaneous/cb12-134.html
And the most telling part is this: “The report shows that 41 percent of those age 21 to 64 with any disability were employed, compared with 79 percent of those with no disability. Along with the lower likelihood of having a job came the higher likelihood of experiencing persistent poverty; that is, continuous poverty over a 24-month period.”
I am one of those millions of younger workers with a disability, plus caretaking for my elderly parent, and trying to eek out a living for myself. Luckily I don’t have kids, but these are not all choices I’ve made. These are realities of many millennials’ lives. You were lucky and made good choices among good options. I wish I had all of those options. I think that’s the crux of it. Hard work counts for a lot. But being born with options counts for more. Which is the point of the jokes in the video, right?
@@squidleyskidley I appreciate your kindness, but I do feel the need to disagree slightly. I would say options is equally as important as hard work. Ultimately it is subjective and whatever you believe is what's truly relevant. Our beliefs impact our reality and behavior very strongly. By the report you show I would be included in the statistics of someone with a disability. I personally think stating something as a disability is often doing more harm than good. The only reason I ever succeed in anything I do, is because I stop looking at myself as a victim, entitled and disabled. That wisdom was given to me through people I listened too and read about, and I owe everything to them. We've all been through hell, and if anyone hasn't they will. You never really know where or what someone's come from. I know there are people out there who have it better and complain more than me, and people who have it worse and complain less than me. I just try to focus on myself and what I can control in order to become better. My theological views aren't religiously based, but I see a great deal of wisdom in this "For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him." Wisdom can be found anywhere, and the wise individual is the one who wins. I don't know what your disability is, but I would like to atleast list a few people who helped me. Jocko Willink, Jordan Peterson, Gandhi, MLK jr, Louis Zamperini, Dave Ramsey and David Goggins. You are who you spend time with. I spend my time listening to people like this, reading about them and thinking as deeply as I can. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me and I wish you all the luck in the world. Thank you.
Parents: You guys live in your phones.
Millennials: It's the only place we can afford to live. 🤣🤣🤣
You are the worst generation of americans and no one will miss you
John Taylor A-sphincter says what? Sir, this is a comedy forum. Please take your mommy issues and snide comments to the nearest YT Behavioral Sciences channel.
@John Taylor boiiii I think you grossly over estimate the price of phones and underestimate the price of a house
Let's not forget that alot of old people spend too much time on their phones and posting on Facebook too.
Lol sooo true!!!!
"This sponge...owns his own pineapple?!"

So our entire generation basically.
Only in your country though😂 It's nice to see America falling
@@jumbo4billion I would imagine inflation is universal. What's it like where u r and where r u?
@@exthechickenwing inflation is absolutely not universal. its a domestic aka local trend with global impacts nonetheless in some cases, but do not mistake that to mean that because a dollar here will get you 80 cents worth of gas on a given day, means the same for a dollar in a different country or in a different dollar system, they are not universal but coincidental and individual market movements.
exhibit a would be the destabilized chinese currency where they have intentionally inflated the amount of dollars in the system to be able to undermine the value of their own currency held by foreign countries. The U.S. dollar is trading actively at an all time high while i assure that this is not the case for the chinese dollar.
@@JoeGilly95 I think I am clocking in a to low an IQ to understand, certainly inadequate knowledge base... But
Can you explain the china point more?
I meant to say every country has inflation, idk the implementation.
And you said " intentional inflation of the Chinese dollar lowers their global dollar" ... Why? And why intentionally inflate if this happens?
I used to work delivering and installing appliances, just about every week I'd get an old person telling me about how they put themselves through college and bought their first house delivering appliances. I had to walk to work every day because I couldn't even afford to drive my own car.
The economy here in the U.S. is REALLY going to hell in a handbasket thanks to greedy elite PSYCHOS and globalist greed in general. It's hurting almost everyone except the rich 😡
Tl;dr : not bragging, this is unsustainable!
A couple years ago, my spouse and I were able to buy a home with only one of us working, while the other took care of our kids full time. But....
the breadwinner worked a difficult job like an absolute maniac, sometimes 60+ hours a week,
While the stay at home parent did everything else, cooked almost all meals from scratch and cut coupons... we gave up cable (still cant afford it) and most other entertainment that cost anything, didn't go to the movies for over three years, shared one older car (which meant the stay at home parent pushed a baby carriage a half mile to the supermarket and then walked home carrying everything and pushing the kids!)
We all dressed mostly in hand-me-downs from family and friends, cancelled our home phone and switched to older model wireless phones that came free with cheap wireless plans with minimal data, etc
It took us a reeeeeally long time to find a nice home in a good neighborhood that we could afford. We literally looked for two years, almost gave up hope.
*But that was a few years ago*
If it were *right now*
we couldnt afford anything that wasn't a bady damaged shed in a struggling corner of Detroit.
It's *crazy*
Protectobot definitely more complicated than that 😂 and we live in a capitalistic society so us consumers are just as much a part of the problem. We definitely have a problem with housing in more urban cities here in the us but our economy is actually doing very well.
@Khadijah Said That's why we seriously need an anarcho-communist or anarcho-socialist system; look up both ideologies, and you'll see why I support them. I personally am an advocate for anarcho-communism, over anarcho-socialism; but, to each their own.
No, in case you're wondering, and OFC you'll find this out with research, neither one is PURELY communism or socialism. (Trust me, the mix of anarchism, makes a significant difference.)

Holy crap, you're right
I love that he shows up super angry and meanwhile confesses how deep his emotions are. Being fearless with Coldplay and loveful with Josh Groban. I would be his friend.
“Loveful”
Me too. Decided to listen to Josh Groban and I cannot deny it, I liked it!

lol of course hes going to continue doing stand up.
“It’s less of reminder and more of a reenactment” I’m fucking crying
As a 50 year old who will also never own a house, well, I guess I should have saved my raspberries.
You graduated in '87ish? You got to be part of the first generation boomers held in disdain for not having it as easy as they did.

Me too. I’m 57 and can’t even afford an apartment rent on my teacher’s salary for 30 years.
John Taylor or buy a van.
@John Taylor I tried working like boomers did but no one handed me a bunch of free stuff. Then boomers started whining at me about how I was living my life.

“I have 9 roommates” carried a lot of rage 🤣🤣🤣
I have two roommates and my friends tell me “wow only two??” Unironically lmao
God damn it it's about time a fellow man had the guts to publicly say how incredible Coldplay is.
What is Coldplay?
Who?
Coldplay is a band. They wrote viva la vida and wrote something just like this with the chainsmokers
@@divabhardwaj6381 just to clarify
"Something just like this"
I'm black, had no idea people hated Coldplay. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm gonna keep jamming! 🤷🏾♂️
why does his posture make him look like hes about to run at you?
Not sure but you shouldn't let him out of your sight. He's the kind of person who, if you took him out to a buffet, he would start at you (unblinkingly) the whole time.
Good job Dylan
His posture is prepared. As a millennial, we must be ready to run at any time. We won't get far, because we're so damn tired, but we'll bolt at the drop of a hat.
Because he is.
It's not only the posture; it's the wild, bulging eyes, as well
"Spongebob has family money, I am telling you!" 😂😂
So awkward feeling, but I was still laughing throughout. I want to see more of him.
His stare gonna visit me in my nightmares
This guy is a legend.
Of what? I bet he spits when he talks.
@@danstalter lmao
When he said $5000 I immediately thought “damn you should buy a house” 😂😂😂
Me too 😂😂😂
I love this guy's energy. Dear god do we need more comedians like this.
Agree. But knowing what I know about his family via his stand up, I'm pretty sure his twin brother could climb El Capitan. (I didn't want to make that a main comment lest he reads it and I hurt his feelings or something😂)
It was borderline unfunny and yet hilarious at the same time.
It felt like I was just hearing a dude tell me a story that happened to be funny 😂😂 😂😂 😂
yup. good material, strange delivery
It sucks lol
Lol I felt the same
I think it was unfunny because it was the truth...and in turn, it was funny because it was the truth.
Millenial Lewis Black. He has all the mannerisms down.
Interesting observation.
Didn't catch it first time watching
Now I can’t not see it
Damn. Yeah.
THIS is why stand up comedy is so special. I haven’t laughed this hard in like a month. ☺️
I’m dying. 😂 My dad lost my childhood home. My parents bought it in 1993, from a guy my dad worked with, for $75k. When we lost it in 2018, he owed almost $200,000. I have no idea how I’m supposed to ever have a home.
Sounds like he probably took out a reverse mortgage or something, or possibly got an adjustable rate or balloon. Terrible investments.
He most likely borrowed against the home. He took out equity and then made some bad investments. Happens a lot
I googled 'ok boomer' and now youtube felt I should really check out this guy.
Hey, sometimes algorithms accidentally do something good.

@John Taylor maybe you should go back to having your talc-soft ego be stroked by corporate mouthpieces like Stephen Crowder instead of leaving the bubble for a little good, old-fashioned factual truth here?
Oh yeah, the other reason we need to veer this trainwreck of a country "far" to the left--make your personal data _your own private property._

SpongeBob’s real name IS canonically Spongerobert, and his parents always wear really nice clothes (at least his mother does). So that theory about SpongeBob being from a rich family checks out
According to the quote that he provided, the guy says that the NEXT one has to be attractive.
But he explanation provided was that people only listen to attractive people these days. So for a public figure to think that, and for them to also still espouse opinions in public, they must think of themselves as attractive. Of course, the dali lama was being rhetorical, and probably doesnt think people EXCLISIVELY listen to attractive individuals, but jokes are based in intepretations of reality, often skewed on purpose, so it's all fine.

LAptepper definitely has mommy daddy scholarship money. Grad school is for people who are either wealthy or made mistakes in their lives.
Old people and young people actually struggle with a lot of the same problems. A lot of old people can't afford their property tax because their house is overvalued, so they have to sell their home. During the Great Recession, we saw 3 generation households (grandparents, parents, children) grow because the elderly and Millennials couldn't afford a place. It's actually caused problems because older people need to work, meaning there are fewer jobs for younger people and increased competition for the jobs out there.
THE CROWD WAS BRUTAL
I am in tears. He was surprisingly hilarious.
"The cellphone is the only place we can afford to live!"
I've seen 2 of his sets back to back. Loved em both!!!!
So true, everyone who still owns a home they bought in the 80s has at least $500,000 in savings today.

6:47 I am a fan of Coldplay and I am not afraid to say that. Coldplay is one of the best bands of our generation and we need more wholesome people in our society like the members of Coldplay.
Laughed out loud several times. Loved the Spongebob bit.
The way he moves his hands adds to the set. Don't see many comedians with his style. I Like this guy
The heroes of Free Solo were the 2 climbers that Alex passed that were sleeping halfway up the mountain wearing unicorn costumes. ; )
I watched most of that show but did not sit there & watch the whole thing so I missed that part. Now I want to see that part, unicorns, LOL. I remember an article in a bicycle magazine where the author was taking place in a race and couldn't take his focus off some guy in a Batman mask, cape & Speedos, with no shirt. All he was worried about the whole race was he had to at least beat this one guy. That was his motivation, he didn't care if he won or not, hahahaha...
