Mistakes of youth - early marriage, mortgage, lack of money - can break at least someone, but not everyone
Many people really want to speak out to strangers, or almost strangers. By the way, I found myself not for the first time in my long life, in the role of a "vest" in which someone wanted to cry.
And this man turned out to be a taxi driver, or rather, a sanatorium security guard, who "bombs", taking patients for flights at an inopportune hour. So I got a night plane from Krasnodar. Somewhere to go on a bad, rainy day, according to the forecast, in this city I was not at all attracted to, I did not want to leave the sea from the beautiful sanatorium during the day. The money was set aside for the return flight, so I decided to leave for the plane itself with a small margin.
And the taxi driver dumped his whole life on me. I, of course, did not mind, the road flew by in two hours just in an instant. The guy is quite literate, he says, as if written, so don't listen, it will come in handy.
And the conversation began with the fact that at the very sanatorium we saw a beggar, a peasant aged. The taxi driver said that this is a local loser who simply drank himself after the death of his mother, who held him tightly in hand.
And he began to say that he left his parents right after school, because he wanted to live independently. While in college, I got a job. Therefore, he always had plenty of money, because his parents also helped him - they gave a certain amount for rental housing and bought clothes. But I did not listen to their advice, I wanted to achieve everything myself.
He only regrets that he got married too early for the first time - at the age of 21. After a couple of years, my wife and I could not see each other. And during this time they managed to take out a mortgage. Of course, on her. We paid a small part, but here we have to get divorced. And she didn’t know what to do - she wanted an apartment, and she didn’t want to pay. Pulled in all ways with a divorce. As a result, it turned out that she was pregnant.
The young husband was sure that the child was not his. The fact is that he had an analysis that said that the probability of having a child is about 10%. It was necessary to be treated. There was no money for treatment because of the mortgage. What to do - I went to my parents to confess, they waited for the baby to appear and gave money for the examination. It turned out that the child had nothing to do with them. And she has already filed for alimony. It didn't work out. They were divorced on the basis of this examination in one day.
In short, the guy refused to pay the mortgage, went to the southern city so that he would not be pestered by his ex-wife. And so, at the age of 23, he was alone, homeless, with just received a diploma. Nothing, got a job, gave a room in a hostel. And then his grandmother died and his parents sold her apartment, money was given to his son for housing.
So he took root by the sea, works at a factory, two days later, another day as a security guard in a sanatorium, and on the third day he still “bomb” like this, delivers tourists to train stations and airports.
And I liked that a 30-year-old man does not whine, that the whole world does not scold. He works, works hard, wants to build himself a house. When we drove through the village at the pass, he showed me where he bought a plot - a very beautiful place.
So they say that our youth is bad. Not at all. The bad ones are those who sit on their parents' necks. But these guys are real Russian men.
How do you feel about young people?
