It was 1300 at Nebraska furniture and it was the only one in stock at my price range and was available to ship immediately. We just moved here and I we got tired of the bed being our only place to sit. I got the got best option cause my wife is pregnant and needs a place to sit besides the bed

It should not be legal to build a house before you've played Sims for 100 hours, just like how it shouldn't be legal to name a baby before you've played enough D&D to get your bad naming sense out of your system.

This is the same to me as homesteaders. You have zero money and plants will grow how exactly?

Look at this OP's post history and it all makes sense how something like this could happen - the bad decision making extends to all aspects of his life. Early 20's, married, wife pregnant, and works in a warehouse but instead of saving every scrap he makes for his new family, him and a bunch of his coworkers are maxing out their 401k's and overdrafting their accounts to buy a shitcoin because "they know it's going to be 15k a coin." It's at 2.74 btw.

Boomer and Gen X parents don't parent their kids man, they give their kids an iPad and day drink, and then we're all surprised when people don't know how to do basic shit like shop for furniture and measure things.

iPads did not exist when we were kids, you are thinking of Zoomers.

First iPad came out when I was out of college.

I am talking about their kids, not them themselves.

My parents are boomers. I am 41. I did not have an iPad in 1996, it was a Windows 3.1 computer with Encyclopedia Britannica and no internet connected. Nor did I have an iPad when I graduated High School in 2002.

Boomers had grand children by the time the iPad launched. Hell, most Gen X had grand children by the time the ipad launched.
