Those frickers are TOUGH!!!

https://www.nar.realtor/newsroom/baby-boomers-remain-largest-share-of-home-buyers-as-first-time-buying-falls-to-record-low

Baby Boomers remained the largest generational group of home buyers this year, while the share of first-time buyers fell to the lowest level on record, according to the 2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report from the National Association of REALTORS®.

First-time buyers made up just 21% of all home buyers, down from 24% in the previous survey and the lowest share since NAR began collecting the data in 1981. Among buyers in each generation, the share who were first-time purchasers was:

Younger Millennials: 60% (down from 71% last year)

Older Millennials: 33% (down from 36% last year)

Gen X: 21% (up from 20% last year)

Younger Boomers: 8% (down from 9% last year)

Older Boomers: 4% (unchanged from last year)

Silent Generation: 3% (down from 5% last year)

Old people have more money than young people. Not that strange.

Saving money and not over spending and being entitled to buy nice, safe, and reliable vehicles and homes works when young.

Take your bumps and bruises, learn to fix things yourself, don’t eat out or delivered, stop being a pussy and actually EARN things over long periods of time.

You hit your ceiling at a very young age ‘working from home’ and wanting things because you don’t need to get dressed to ‘do my job’. You’ll never get ahead with that attitude.

I like how they call themselves “younger boomers” to try and sound cool


If you’re over 40 you’re a boomer don’t try to sugar coat it

Only 4% of boomers were first time home buyers, as opposed to 60% of young millennials. There were still more boomers who bought homes, it just wasn’t their first time.

It's still weird. The points made in the body of the post followed by stats are addressing two completely different things. Therefore it is a shitty post that doesn't make sense. But it's VHS, so I figured that going in.

60 is the number you are looking for.

You are the one who's been getting confused as shite lately. It's becoming concerning.
