Now, I wanted to point out the future of society.
00:00:02.980
I don't say this in a happy way, but if I had to predict what I would see in 50 years,
00:00:09.420
Marriage and relationships really are going to go away except for the upper class.
00:00:14.860
The elite, I do believe, will still marry, but I believe it will continue to disappear
00:00:21.780
The reason being, richer men are able to better fight in court, and they're better able to,
00:00:27.320
you know, afford a wife and recover if it goes south.
00:00:31.060
Now, that's not to say that I haven't seen rich men get royally screwed over in divorce
00:00:37.680
But in my experience, it's the middle class American workers that are not able to recover.
00:00:43.840
So where does that leave us with all of these single mothers on the market?
00:00:47.400
You are going to see older women start to live together.
00:00:51.580
So there is an article that I saw, I believe, showed me what I think the future is, which
00:01:00.640
Can you imagine having four women in the same house?
00:01:08.160
And women, it's not like women get together and become better people.
00:01:14.840
So this article discusses the journey of four single mothers who jointly purchased a four
00:01:19.640
unit apartment building in Washington, D.C. to build equity and share housing costs.
00:01:24.380
This existing floor plan of the 1927 building presented challenges, particularly for one of
00:01:30.940
the mothers who needed more space and privacy for her two kids.
00:01:34.480
They hired architect Linnell Schneider to redesign the floor plan, investing $40,000 in renovations
00:01:41.100
to create a more practical and efficient layout.
00:01:43.340
Schinders' expertise in compact living spaces and her commitment to co-housing projects
00:01:48.480
helped transform the apartments into a more suitable living arrangement for the group.
00:01:52.640
They also considered long-term expansion options, including the possibility of additional dwelling
00:01:57.400
units to accommodate the growing needs of the families and generate extra incomes.
00:02:03.540
Overall, the single mothers' collaborative approach to housing and their willingness to invest
00:02:08.320
in the redesign of their apartments to meet their unique needs showcases the advantages
00:02:13.320
of shared living arrangements and thoughtful architectural planning and addressing modern housing.
00:02:18.460
Holly Harper is the founder of Anagram Consulting, Blue Bikes, Communications, and Siren Foundry.
00:02:24.600
She's also founded a company known as Street Pearl.
00:02:29.960
Now, you're going to see a rise of single people.
00:02:32.660
You're going to see a rise of couples without children.
00:02:35.520
And you're going to see a rise of single mothers.
00:02:38.480
You are going to see society reshape for a post-marriage world.
00:02:43.340
And I predict that you will absolutely, in fact, start to see single mothers pool their resources
00:02:50.160
as well as elderly women coming together, pooling their resources, and having houses together.
00:02:57.660
Now, we have a single mother that is talking about the experience of being a single mother.
00:03:02.640
You know, it's crazy because I joke a lot about being single and, but I'm 46 years old.
00:03:16.800
And while I'm getting ready for surgery and everything, it dawned on me that I'm 46 years old
00:03:54.540
And I make jokes about the fucking buffoons that I have been encountering in dating.
00:04:06.200
And this, those stories are the shit that's available.
00:04:11.580
Because all the good men have gotten married in their 20s and 30s.
00:04:19.400
I'm not blaming it all on men because women are fucking shit.
00:04:32.220
And the thing is, women's words mean something and they reveal something.
00:04:48.420
I mean, the true definition of a wife is a helpmate.
00:04:57.800
But my point is, typically, when you hear women's reasoning for wanting a husband, and it's a selfish thing.
00:05:07.880
Typically, that's the reason why they haven't been able to get one.
00:05:10.940
Because selfish women do not end up getting husbands.
00:05:38.580
Like, guys, as women, we just need to be sick of this bullshit.
00:05:45.060
No, most women are not going to have a happy ending.
00:05:50.060
And there is an entire generation of women coping with the fact that most will be alone
00:05:58.120
And most women, that woman should not expect to get a husband ever.
00:06:07.040
But I would argue that telling that woman to make a financial plan of how she is going
00:06:12.980
to spend the next 50 years of her life is a far better option than selling the dream
00:06:18.560
that there is a husband waiting for you at the end of this.
00:06:24.340
And the issue you get is all of these influencer women will come out saying they're so happy
00:06:31.960
But are most women as attractive as Emily or have the same financial opportunities as Emily?
00:06:51.220
So what is going to happen to them in their old age?
00:06:55.020
Women make poor decisions and keep expecting men to bail them out.
00:06:59.740
But one day, men are going to stop bailing them out.
00:07:02.940
And we are going to see a huge rise in the number of homeless women.
00:07:15.440
Just because this girl made poor decisions in her youth is no reason for her to continue
00:07:20.840
She's got a life ahead of her to find her person.
00:07:23.120
She just needs to go find them, have some empathy.
00:07:25.560
People might think I'm mean, but I am just not in the business of selling dreams.
00:07:33.340
Like, if I don't think something is likely, if I know that the chance a woman has is if
00:07:38.920
unmarried by 35, actually, if a woman is single at 30, not in a relationship, she's
00:07:45.500
actually more likely to not get married than to get married.
00:07:49.400
So at 30, if she has a boyfriend, her odds are a little bit better.
00:07:52.440
But if she doesn't have a boyfriend, because on average, it takes men three years to marry
00:07:59.440
So that's something as women we have to take into account.
00:08:02.380
Yes, on average, it's going to take three years to convince a guy to marry you.
00:08:06.400
So I'm just not in the business of selling dreams.
00:08:14.020
And what I would do if I were her is I would figure out a financial plan on how to live the
00:08:20.480
Um, I would also look for a husband in the process and see what they what what you can
00:08:27.120
But I'm just not in the business of selling dreams.
00:08:30.300
And and I think that women are just sold a dream over and over again.
00:08:36.020
It'll happen when really you have to put effort into making things happen.
00:08:48.580
But I think the Martin of the people, I will kick back it in the business of my life in the
00:08:52.160
life of 2019 and I was 걸는 concrete and altered too.
00:08:55.980
And if you have got love for the family of somebody who does happen there.
00:08:57.180
So let's go out there to go out there to myself a espÃ.
00:09:00.840
Because you are sitting there and we go out with a lot of affairs that organisERS and
00:09:03.580
And I was listening, they said, that's not as good.
