Are you seriously copy/pasting the post I’m responding to right back at me?
Explain how they’re hoarding money.
They’re saving and investing their money.
You are not something worth investing in and you’re mad about it.
Bc i answered your question in the response, I using 'hoarding' as an analogy to companies keeping more of their profits and creating a wealth gap. See where I bolded it?
I do not expect boomers, or anyone, to give me anything, so calm down.

Thank the illegals.

Better educated does not equal has a larger college debt to repay.
Nor does it equal spent more time getting a degree.
It might plot inversely to the meaningless elective classes offered more recently.
It might have something to do with getting a degree with some hope of getting a job in a profession that will be a long term investment, both on the part of the employer and the employee.

If boomers are hording money, why would any of them have to?

Wrong! I gave my kids over 300acs of land. About 150 were given to me, but I worked and bought the rest. My daughter has added another 50 more and I am sure she will add more over time.
People are just lazy. Will is a power fill thing. Just have to want and have.

Working to pay off loans that came due after graduation and realizing there are practically no jobs with only a BS in Chemistry.

You're responding to a statistic with a personal anecdote.
That doesn't work.

That doesn't make the stats he quoted wrong.

Serious question. So did you research the job market and your career choices before choosing your major?

What would her job options be had she not gone to college? She would be working a better job? I am confusion.

And I asked you to elaborate and you just bolded it and ignored the entire part of my post asking what they were supposed to do with their money. Since apparently you want them to spend when it’s not a spending market just because when they grew up it was a spending market.

I am an engineer and business owner, i know how it works, kid
So does your business handle its money as if it were 2019 or the year you were born?
I was born in the 80s... forget they market, should I just make investments like it’s the 80s?
Again, do you want boomers to keep their money, spend their money, or make bad investments on purpose?

Most millennials began college before the Great Recession. Boomers were feeding Millennials a completely different message then..."follow your dreams, major in what you want, and everything will fall into place."

I am not talking about individual boomers though, I am talking about companies run by boomers keeping more profits than they have in the past, creating a wealth gap.
FTR I love boomers, sorry if I have given the wrong impression. They just kind of fricked up the economy for the younger generations and its fun to come on this board and talk about it.

Scruffy knows people like to talk shite about other generations, but this right here is true.
Boomers had it easy as shite.
Boomers had such an easy path to the upper middle or even upper class and collectively fricked the future of the free world in making that so.
