    Shouldn’t you also own your own house? Why are you hostile toward someone who has what everyone should have, when it’s other people who are taking what you should have?

      Couldn’t possibly be because that person is acting like it’s our fault we’re too weak to have it too with the dismissive “bub” and the cry to “get your shit together.”

        Just because you don’t like who it’s coming from doesn’t mean it’s not valid, practical advice. Take this one on the chin, and get your shit together so the next one doesn’t hit you, at least not so hard.

          Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.

            Being an asshole begets hostility.

            That’s not what’s happening here. You’re justifying someone being a bigger asshole because they perceive someone being a bit of one, or even just being associated with one by being the same age.

      I’m not being hostile and that is not my tone. I was interested to know whether he’s in a financial situation where he can afford something that isn’t so affordable to the rest for the younger generation.
