>>>Contrast with...

[Millennials are still not getting married]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3551497/posts

...Generation FAIL.<<<

To be fair to the young men, the jobs that allowed their parents and grandparents to care for a family nearly straight out of high school are almost all gone. And from what I have seen of several college graduates, their income potential straight out of college is barely able to afford a starter house and a stay at home mom raising a kid.

So it’s one part choice not to settle down and another part circumstances.

And excuses are like _________?

Hint: Everybody has one and they all stink.

Pretty sure enlisting straight out of high school is still an option.

My wife and I lived in a mobile home for 10+ years, ate lots of chicken and hot dogs... while we saved and planned how to make a home for the family we wanted in the context of reality.

It takes commitment and hard work - something we learned from our parents, who also had marriages that lasted >50 years until death.

Generation XBox thinks they’re entitled to a McMansion and an Audi because the TeeVee says so.

Boohoo for them - and STAY OFF MY LAWN!

Today given family court and a massive misandrious attitude against men across every part of society, there are plenty of valid reasons not to get married. Marriage is the only legal slavery that exists even after its over, and it is so far only one-way, it’s severely not funny.
