How can you tell if someone is republican or democrat?Hand them a hundred dollar bill. A democrat puts it in his front pocket a republican puts it in the bank.

Sounds about right - and not just limited to americans. Same story here, young people don't have life skills, whether it's financial management or even things like how to change a lightbulb, how to reset a tripped fuse, etc.

You don't reset tripped fuses. You reset tripped circuit breakers. Fuses have to be thrown away and replaced.

Yes indeed, my bad. Posted before my coffee. Never a good idea.

And to be honest younger people have not grown up having to take care of most of that shit. You get your allowance but you don't usually have to pay the gas bill the water bill or the electric bill for the cable bill or buy the groceries or the mortgage or the rent or go to work...Sounds about right - and not just limited to americans.

It takes a few years to get used to that shit. Sorry Woody.

My guess is Woody's one of the exceptions who can do that shit, tbf.
For me, university was actually really great for that. You're living on your own (or with a few others of the same age/experience) and for the first time you have to deal with that shit, but you can still lean on parents for advice, but also the student center has places that are designed to answer questions on those fronts.
I'm not sure how it's set up there though? Here you're in campus accommodation for first year, then on your own - find a place to live, pay rent, pay bills, keep the house running, mow the garden if necessary, all the little things you don't think about as a kid.

Oh I agree I just picked on Woody because he regularly gets upset if somebody mentions that young people don't have the life experience necessary to make some decisions.
I figure he has his shit together better than most, but don't tell the little arrogant fucker.

Hallelujah! When my daughter brought her high school schedule home this year I saw "Financial Management" as a required course, I knew somebody saw a need and made a change.
Maybe there's hope for the next generation.
No women's or black studies???

1) No. I get annoyed when someone acts like being older automatically makes them right. Whether you're 22 or 82, you need to present a good argument with facts and data.
2) I've been paying for everything for years now. I'm getting ready to buy a house. I'm doing alright on the money side
(not having crippling student loan debt helps)

Damn right bud.
It takes talent to major in theatre arts. And wisdom to minor in secondary ed.
And brains to major in engineering.
Women's studies requires only a vagina and a bad attitude.
Black studies are for gifted athletes on a scholarship without any reading and writing skills.

First ask her if she knows how many lawyers there are now in Ohio.
