Speaker 1 (00:00):
This portion of the Joe Show podcast is powered by
Fair and Fair Tampa Accident Attorneys. Jed would like to
ask you to complete the sentence our generation won't be
able to blank times change, price is sore, things don't
exist anymore. What are things that you are disappointed that

(00:24):
you feel like you will never experience.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hi, I'm Jed, and I won't be able to afford
a home. It has gotten so crazy the housing market.
And like my girlfriend work works in real estate, my
girlfriend Rodina, and she's just like it just keeps going up, up,
up and up, and the interest rates aren't going down
anytime soon and now, and these people just come in,
the older people, older generations come in and their cash

(00:47):
buyers from up north. So it's like they get these
deals done. But if you're like a local Floridian and
you are trying to buy a home here, you are
totally screwed. If you're under the age of thirty five
and have no equity or like no CA you know,
no savings or anything. And how are we going to
be able to say when we have all these student
loans that are piling up to the ceiling. Sorry, I

(01:07):
want to be able to afford a home, and I'm
not going to be able to do that. I was
talking to my parents about this because my mom's like, well,
would you be interested in, like, you know, buying your
own condo or like a small house or Mom, I
can't afford any of this stuff. It's not like it
was back when you and dad met and you're in
your late twenties and houses twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
I think a lot of people aren't even going to
have kids because life is just so expensive. So I
don't think people are going to experience like having kids
for sure. Like I know people who wanted kids are
just like, yeah, can't do it now.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's just way too expensive. I got to take care
of me. But do you think people don't have kids
because they can't afford it, or because they can't have them,
or they don't want to have all of that all
the above, But people actually look at it and go,
I can't afford to have a kid. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Really, it's like you have to basically have two incomes
in the household, like full time working, and then a
lot of your income is then disposed because you have
to send your kids to day care or latch key
or some kind.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Of other's expensive. Oh my god, I can keep my
kid in the car. Car kid.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, you put them right there and he raises in
a car and he wants to be You.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Have put a baby bed right there.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, a little swing baby bed in here, and they
put a swing there.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
We'll put them put them in Jed studio watching the
jet studio. Yeah, like a baby cam. Yeah, Jed quit
answering phones. You're waking up the kid studio.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So people really do it because they can't afford it. Yeah,
kids are expensive.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Every time I listen to my sister talk about the
payment for either daycare, school, going to the doctor, or
just buying dinner, I've got expensive.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Eight ninety three. Is there something that you guys feel
like you've missed out on?

Speaker 5 (02:58):
Missed out on? Why feel like our generation won't have
the luxury? I don't say luxury, but like being able
to retire comfortably.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
How often do you see people who you feel it
could be of retirement age and they have to keep working?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
And what is the correct age to retire?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I thought I was sixty five, sixty four, Well you
got people, I mean well over that age still working.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hey, Michael Michael, you say daycare won't exist.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Well, that's we just have a newborn, and you guys
saying that we need to reshoot incomes coming in. We're
both full time working and we're barely barely getting by
and we have a new born. We can't even a
full daycare. We had to fly my mother in from
Missouri just for her to be able to watch the
baby so we can keep our jobs. That not one
of us would have to not work, you know what

(03:51):
I'm saying. Like daycare itself, there's been places we've been
quoted here in Lakelands for anywhere between four hundred and
fifty to like five fifty sometimes six hundred dollars for
a week.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
That is a week. I got a week.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I got my paycheck.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Why don't we test these kids attitude test. If they're
a good kid, you get a discount. Oh yeah, then
it and the scantivizes parents to raise good kids, and
if you have a bad kid, it costs much more
to where it will subsidize the cost of discount. I
got a discipline and then parents can go around like

(04:30):
Michael could go around and go I've got a discount kid.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Yeah, I got.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
A good kid.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
And she actually is a beautiful, very very good baby.
Everybody keeps telling me I'll be my first time father,
and you know it's a challenge and everything, but she
what everybody tells me is she is an excellent baby.
With the fussing, the whining, she's you know, she's catching
onto all milestones and everything.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So did you see your last time father?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Yes, thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Shout and think about it. With the whole discount kid theory,
you could be like, you know, I had two discount
kids and one expensive kid, and that's how you judge
it good or not. I am onto.

Speaker 6 (05:15):
I like some idea, and then it comes down to
the parenting. How how presents are the parents? Yeah, married everybody.
Everybody needs to put down their cell phones and need
to attend to the kids more.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's right. First on, daddy, you already know Michael, thanks
for being a good dad. Julia, you say that you
had to rule out kids. It was a house or
kill Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:39):
Currently, that's what I tell all my coworkers. My husband
and I got married in twenty twenty four, so they're like,
where are the children, and I'm like, not here. I
said I could buy a house or I could buy
or I could have kids, and I couldn't do books
right now. So what we did we lived with my
mom for a while and we saved up money because
I'm like, I don't know if you guys remember, but
I was like.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
Oh, we've you know, this amount of money, and we're
really excited. We're trying to buy a house.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
And you guys were like, yeah, yeah, what's good Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
It was a good time.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
So that's what we were able to do. But we
bought our house at the higher interest rate, and you know,
hopefully someday, someday those interest rates will go down. But
my father in law said recently, oh, you know, the
US is really set up for having children, And I said.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Sir, why do you say that.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
You know, you haven't had kids in thirty years, so like,
and he was like, oh, that's the taxie funds that
you get at the end of the year. And we
have a friend who's from c Sweden, and in Sweden
you get.

Speaker 7 (06:35):
Like a year of maternity.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Leave and in the US, damn see either that's very
in the United it's very interesting, very interesting. Julia, thank
you so much for calling in man. I didn't realize
we should give away childcare one day? Haven't you had
that idea? Have you say I want to take care
people's daycare bills?

Speaker 4 (06:53):
That would be that's a really good idea.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Right, interesting, it would be very interesting giveaway because he
said he's paying four hundred dollars a week for one
last one and this is unintentionally turned into kids are
way too expensive? Aaron. You say that you will not
be retiring now because of your son, No, I.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Have to work at the gunshop. Probably tell him at
seventy because my first son was thirty thousand dollars when
he walked out of the hospital. I strolled him out
of the hospital. So I adopted my first son because
I had ended matriosis, and you have to pay the
thirty thousand upfront before you leave the hospital. So but
I'm telling you he's a great one. I got a
good one because he's in Fort Bragg in North Carolina

(07:40):
with me in the army. So I'm proud of him.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
And he's going to make sure you're able to retire.
He's going to take care of his mama.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Oh yeah, and I signed him up at seventeen. I
said the government you can have him because he eats
a lot. He eats like Jade.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Okay, that's a fatass, Aaron. Thank you for being a
good mom.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Yes, yeah, you got it. We love you.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
And tell him thank you for service. I will.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
He's protecting us. Thanks, guys, I love you.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Guys have great Thank you for our heroes.

Speaker 4 (08:10):

have kids or they don't want kids. It's expenses.
