Oh look, another argguaghhh 70s and 80s 90s was best ever 
:lol: I get it. You were a kid then. You had no responsibilities. Today you do have responsibilities. This has been said forever. Those cars are pretty damn ugly though and 9 mpg.
At any point on the OT, you can find 10 threads on pg 1 about how 80s and 90s was best.
Those in that age range destroyed affordable housing for America today

Youre a 90 year old curmudgeon long before your time.

People that grew up in the 70s-90s didn't destroy affordable housing for you. That has more to do with abandoning the gold standard and adopting a fiat currency. That happened before many of them were born.

Do you have to try hard or does this just come naturally for you?

And people in that age range were paying 8-14% mortgages and bitching that the previous generation(s) had destroyed affordable housing.
At some point they (like you maybe will one day) realized it was cyclical economics.

No, you literally don't get it. At all.

Keep your Reddit-esque nonsense to yourself. It does nothing but push division between the American people who should be united against the economic manipulation of the global elites.
Affordable housing has been destroyed by inflation of our fiat monetary system, and by Big Money scooping up homes for cash over asking.
Both of the above are not due to regular people just trying to live their lives and provide their families.
/tinfoil hat off

What are you talking about?
My parents bought their first house in 77 and paid 18 interest on a 950 ft. 3br/2bath house that the living room was a converted carport.
Based on your post I’d be more inclined to believe they destroyed critical thinking and common sense instead.
Typical millennial

Too bad you didn’t get to experience it.

You will overcome, somehow.

You’re a whiny little bitch, aren’t ya? Bet you never rebuilt an engine, replace a clutch, pack wheel bearings, replace brakes. Pull a motor with a come-along from a tree limb. I still have the brackets and chain in my basement after 40 years. Got a cherry picker but loaned it to a friend…which you probably have none.

Silly post, but some pretty harsh responses as well.
Let's start this way. “Best ever” is a state of mind, not a state of achievement. Members of that 1977 family may well look back on those days as the "best ever," while you view these days as "terrible." But the irony is you’d not remotely consider swapping your current situation with their “best ever” situation.
For example, look at their house. It’s about a 1400sqft ranch with window unit a/c’s. Inside you’d find cheap construction, linoleum floors, naugahyde furniture, formica countertops, and one or maybe two very low res TVs (which only picked up 3 or 4 stations total). In physical terms there'd be little or nothing in that 1977 milieu approaching your current standards or expectations.
Oh, and their 30-yr mortgage rate? In 1977, it was around 8.5%-9%. The sub-4% rates we’ve seen for the past decade are historically unheard of.
As an aside, when is the last time you drove in a car with roll-up windows like the one in the video? Meanwhile, interest rates on that clunker ran north of 10%.
The point is, it is likely that “best ever” family lived in shite conditions compared with yourself. Ironically, they were probably just fine with their situation, while you seem to fret about yours. Carpe diem, brother. Because tomorrow, you may find that these were the “good ole days,” and you weren’t in the mental space to enjoy them.
Finally, this “my generation has it rough, your generation is stupid” silliness predates Hammurabi and his Code. It’s been going on forever. Most generations think they’ve done great and wonderful things, and the successive generation is soft. Most upcoming generations throughout history have felt like the “old people” don’t get it, whatever “it” is. Now is no different. It is what it is.

Yeah well at least we weren’t fat! People in your age range apparently are literally Hitler and want to slaughter Jewish people all because you watched a couple tik tok videos. So I think we are better than you and we weren’t fat.
