Boomers will just have to cut back on their avocado toast and daily coffee. Tough it out.


If they want to survive they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps


For the most part boomers will be gone by then. Cut back on your tats and piercings.

Read article, those actually are their proper names.

True. We have cams at all the entry points into the subdivision, they are not listed on that map. Plus, many people with doorbell cams are networked. These make it difficult to plan a hit.

Someone explain to me, what the hell are they so proud of? Sodomy?
I coach elderly people about possibility being scammed. I have learned that women are much more wary than men, especially men who were top leaders in their careers. They overestimate their ability to see a scam and are ripe for the picking. I have one client who is a public figure and one of the most successful people in our area, he has been bitten three times, luckily, he called me early enough that no real damage was done. The last time they had all of his bank accounts, brokerage accounts, credit cards, passwords, usernames, PIN's, everything. No loss, except my fee, and after that his daughter got him to let her handle his finances.

I don't know how to stop it, as soon as you see them slipping, get their hands off the controls.
Alladin closed in 2001, a computer place was in that spot for several years, then the laundromat absorbed it. Yes, Alladin was pretty good.
I was interviewing a guy for a bench tech position in my small company. His skill was obvious and he would be a really good hire, I made hi a pretty good offer. He said he would take the job on one condition, "if anyone makes microwave popcorn, I leave until the office can be aired out".

He said he divorced his wife because she loved microwave popcorn and ate it every day. He hated the smell so much he could start gagging and getting sick if he smelled it. Fortunately, of the other 5 techs, no one had every put popcorn in the microwave.

He died a few years are, not from smelling microwave popcorn, but he was a great employee.
It's Ok sports bar food, better than most. I don't have big expectations when I stop there, but, I know I won't leave hungry.

I never thought they would cure cancer by folding paper. Great news.

Subtle brag, I used to do that. My wife asked me to pick up a salad for her at CFA, but the line was wrapped around the building, so to park and walk in was impossible without playing Frogger.
They have prom queens because it is the closest they will get to being a bride. They go native at HS grad because it is the last one they will have. To behave would mean that you have self-respect and respect for others.
I know several boomers that started trying much better beers, they don't go back to dishwater.

remember the woman who sued and won a case against McDonalds after burning herself with coffee?


That was actually pretty legit. If 180f coffee is spilled on your crotch, it\s gonna burn you badly.
About 25 years ago my wife inherited well into six figures, we have never touched it, just let my genius niece handle the investments. Our kids don't need it, so St. Jude Hospital is in for a nice boost one day.

We were blessed/cursed with frugal upbringings, so lifestyles didn't change much, I still work (self-employed), my wife retired after 30 years teaching.

I recommend people spend money doing what they like before it's too late. Adventure before dementia. So, don't be as frugal as we have been.
