A young man who recently decided to ruin his life by paying over a million dollars for an apartment in our town’s fabled French Quarter says he’s been seeing a lot of articles about the ‘Great Resignation’ recently.
Which is curious, he says, because everyone who’s purchased a property in the country recently won’t be able to resign until they either pay their mortgage off in the next half of the century or their parents finally expire.
“I don’t know anyone who can afford to resign,” said Brad Day, an area sales manager for a local office supply company.
“I certainly won’t be able to resign from anything for decades. My parents aren’t that rich, they only gave me a little bit for the deposit and went guarantor on my flat. That’s normal,”
“In Australia, there’s not going to be a Great Resignation. Every young person who has a mortgage has essentially handcuffed their foot to the million-dollar radiator and made some crusty old cunt rich as hell buying the place they bought for a $1.50 and a box of grey rocks. We will be working forever,”
“If you’ve paid over a million for an apartment, good luck to you.”
More to come.
