A new car in 2025 costs as much as a starter home did in 2010. Yet Conservative influencers still think Millennials should be happy to make $35k a year at Panda Express. Sad.

For sure starting to feel inflation now and everything has doubled in price. These inflation numbers they put out of 9% are total BS. My houses doubled in value, a new car cost nearly twice as much and food is crazy. You really need $50,000 - $60,000 a year now in income to offset what used to be 35k jobs just to keep up!
A starter home in 2005 cost about $100,000. I know because I bought one. A new car today starts below $20K. My parents' starter home they bought in 1985 cost more than that.
A conservative would say you should work your way up to something better than working at Panda Express. $35K is a lot of money for a starter job requiring no experience or education. A $35K job today was a $10K job circa 2000.
