re: Has a generation screwed the world and nation up more than the boomers?

quote:

No, the baby boomers didn’t. It was their children. The every body gets a trophy generation. The I am so fragile that words hurt me generation. The my individual WANT is greater than the group’s NEED generation. The ability to not understand the difference between a want and a need generation. The helicopter parenting so that their children need help with basic adult functions generation.

That's the boomers bro

quote:

---

I just want the boomers to retire, so I can finally take their job.


Boomer - “I guess I’ll stay another 5 years. I really don’t have to, but what the hell. Oh, why haven’t you stepped up yet?”


Me - “LEAVE OLD MAN!”

Well the youngest boomers are 55-56 so many have already retired but why would a mid 50’s man retire to let 30 something take his job?

And what job do you have that you are being held back by a senior? Perhaps you should find a different career path since jobs are plentiful.

Well Stu's mortgage rate was over 10%, possibly over 15%

I'm in my mid 20s. I know my generation sucks but we've hardly had any time to make any impact. You look at history though and all you see from the second the boomers started running the show it's been a total trainwreck and they take no responsibility for it.

Check back with us in about three decades and we can review this statement.

Every generation thinks the folks ahead of them are some things negative.

Twenty-somethings very rarely ever give credit to the generations ahead of them.

Also Newsflash: Every generation dies off. Just wait, it’ll be OK.

Or not.

Stu puts 20% down on a 100k house in the early 80s his note is 1300 bucks.

People didn't have that kind of money at the time.

That was the reality of people graduating in the late 70s, early 80s.

---

And people now don't have 50k or more to put down or a safe way to stove away their savings and not loss buying power. Interest rates aren't complicated, when they're high you want to be a creditor and when they're low you want to be a borrower. In either situation an individual ends up in roughly the same situation.

Despite how wise you think you are, you understand economics on an 099 level.

False.

Hopefully one day I can be a washed up drunk that had to leave society and act wise on the internet. Just because you fricked up your entire life doesn't give you some badge of honor to be authoritative on all things. You understand rudimentary economics but hold yourself as some Ben Bernanke.
