[Update] – I saw what a nice intro Tyler gave to my post over at his site so I decided I should try to follow suit.\u00a0 As part of a cross-posting agreement, Tyler from over at the Portly Politico has kindly agreed to talk about what it’s like for the millennial generation to try to follow in the footsteps of their parents’ lifestyle.\u00a0 I think it will be valuable for Boomers, Xers and Millennials alike.\u00a0 Highly recommended.<\/strong><\/p>\n

photog<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By Tyler James Cook, The Portly Politico (https:\/\/www.theportlypolitico.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

When photog proposed swapping blog posts in the comment section of The Fat Man\u2019s \u201cCityscape at Night<\/a>,\u201d I was intrigued, and quite enthusiastic.\u00a0 That was before I succumbed to a gnarly head cold and worked a thirteen-hour day.\u00a0 But that sickly plight leads nicely into photog\u2019s suggested topic:\u00a0 what are the major concerns of a young American today?<\/p>\n

At thirty-five, I don\u2019t know how \u201cyoung,\u201d I am, but it\u2019s one of those ages where older people tut-tut when you suggest you\u2019re aging.\u00a0 I suppose their advanced years have taught them otherwise, and that they\u2019d much rather be a slightly creaky thirty-five than a croaky eighty-five.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, I am considered part of that great, reviled generation, the Millennials.\u00a0 I certainly don\u2019t feel like one, what with my love of tradition, Christianity, and President Trump.\u00a0 I was born in a time when Internet usage was limited to college campuses and obscure Bulletin Board Systems, when we weren\u2019t handed a Star Trek<\/em> communicator with access to all the world\u2019s knowledge\u2014and it\u2019s basest, filthiest indulgences\u2014when we were five.<\/p>\n

But we had Nintendo and cable TV, and all manner of luxuries and gadgets our parents could only dream of (although my parents apparently played Pong<\/em> while dating).\u00a0 Suburbia was kind to my generation\u2014too kind, as we grew up spoiled and allergic to hard work.<\/p>\n

That said, not all Millennial whining is unjustified.\u00a0 Our parents\u2014the latter Boomers and the early Gen-Xers\u2014could support a family of four or five on blue-collar salaries.\u00a0 They also didn\u2019t pay a fortune for college, and their college education taught<\/em> them something useful, rather than Derridaean deconstruction of everything good and decent.\u00a0 That degree was also their ticket to the middle class.<\/p>\n

We grew up being assured that if we followed the same path, we\u2019d end up with similar outcomes; indeed, we\u2019d be better<\/em> off than our parents.\u00a0 For many Millennials, that was true:\u00a0 both of my brothers, for example, make very good livings in academia and the law.\u00a0 Access to the credentialed classes was greater than it had ever been in American history for my generation.<\/p>\n

But one of the problems is that we could no long sustain a family on a working man\u2019s family.\u00a0 Indeed, the girls we grew up claimed they didn\u2019t want that.\u00a0 They wanted careers and academic accomplishments; the highest accolades of their chosen fields.\u00a0 Never mind that most of them finished out college with a useless B.A. in Psychology (the go-to degree for girls who don\u2019t know what they want to study) and loads of debt; that just began their long 20s, that period in which they could explore and \u201cfind themselves.\u201d\u00a0 Or they got married straight out of college after all.<\/p>\n

The problem is that with excessive credentialing, degrees have become increasingly worthless.\u00a0 For example, I hold a B.A. and M.A. in History.\u00a0 That M.A. paid off in that it gained me a small initial boost in my teaching salary, and it made it possible for me to adjunct at a local technical college (never mind that I\u2019m teaching the same material\u2014often at a slower pace\u2014to the college classes than to the high school students; the State wants to see that M.A.).\u00a0 Otherwise, it\u2019s been largely an ornament, something my school can tout in its statistics about faculty qualifications.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve managed to carve out a decent living for myself in rural South Carolina, but it\u2019s required constant hustling and budgeting.\u00a0 To sustain myself (and sock away money for retirement), I work full-time at the high school; adjunct one or two classes online each semester; teach multiple private music lessons after school; organize and book my own shows to bring in revenue (mainly through merch sales); teach summer classes and camps; and, until this summer, work maintenance at school.\u00a0 For all of that effort, I scrape together around $50,000 to $55,000 a year (although I came close to $60,000 one year).<\/p>\n

Self-employment taxes eat away at a good chunk of my private lessons business, which The Virus temporarily shattered (along with live gigs).\u00a0 I do fine for myself\u2014I managed to buy a used car with earnings from music lessons in 2019\u2014but if I had a stay-at-home wife and kids, there would be no way we could make it work.<\/p>\n

For one, my health insurance would outrageous if I didn\u2019t game the Affordable Care Act.\u00a0 In order to avoid paying $400 a month in premiums for a plan with a $6750 deductible (you read that right), I max out 403(b), traditional IRA, and HSA contributions, which gets deducted, for the purpose of ACA subsidies, from my gross income.\u00a0 That modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI, is low enough that the ACA considers me sufficiently destitute to pay out subsidies, so my $400 a month premium drops to around $1 a month.<\/p>\n

Again, for a single man at thirty-five, it\u2019s not a bad deal.\u00a0 I\u2019m in relatively good health (and am dropping some extra fat) and have managed to squirrel away enough in my emergency fund to reach my deductible without touching my HSA contributions (I\u2019m treating my HSA as an investment vehicle, with my contributions invested in various mutual funds).\u00a0 But if I were married with kids, it would be a whole different story.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also blessed to have made it through college and graduate school debt free, and to have never had a car payment.\u00a0 That is a luxury\u2014really, the result of extremely generous gifts from my parents and grandparents\u2014that has enabled me to pursue a life of financial asceticism.\u00a0 If I had student loans and car payments, like many of my peers, it would be far more difficult to save and invest.<\/p>\n

As it is, I feel like I work constantly just to provide a good life for Future Portly.\u00a0 The cost in the here and now, though, is palpable.\u00a0 Not only have I sacrificed energy, I\u2019ve sacrificed some of the enjoyment of life.\u00a0 Those are necessary sacrifices to avoid becoming a ward of the State in my dotage, but the price seems very high\u2014and one that it seems I must now bear alone.<\/p>\n

To be clear, I don\u2019t mean to complain.\u00a0 I am blessed to live a good life, and to own a house, free-and-clear.\u00a0 I enjoy a degree of financial autonomy that strikes awe in my peers.<\/p>\n

But I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s sustainable with a family\u2014what I want more than anything.\u00a0 The debased nature of modern dating\u2014the topic for another guest post, perhaps?\u2014puts a man with a traditional worldview and sound financial sense in a precarious situation.\u00a0 Having built my legacy, I don\u2019t want to squander it on some Tinder harridan with a butterfly tattoo and blue hair.\u00a0 But the inflated nature of the modern dating marketplace makes even the greasiest of girls believe their beauty queens with only redeeming qualities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
