No, you frick off.
I'm fricking sick of hearing everybody with this "pull on your bootstraps" bullshite.
I made it in my life without being given much. Blessed with a good family who raised me right and taught me nothing would be free in life. I have a valuable degree that I paid for myself, a very good job and much higher income than most my age, a modest home, and I started life in debt. Im still pulling on my bootstraps hard as I can. I don't pay anybody to do anything. I service my vehicles, service my air conditioner, installed my own air conditioner, repaired my roof myself. Im a bad mother fricker. I do EVERYTHING myself except the tasks my wife does. We never eat out. We never go to Starbucks. We don't own a vehicle with less than 100k miles.
Its frickin tough, even at my level of income, to break free from financial worry. We'll get there, but a stroke of bad luck could easily set me back years.
Im blessed. I make enough for my wife to be able to stay at home with the kids. Its only because of timing, I was fully settled in 2016. I just got lucky.
The ones coming behind us have it fricking rough right now. If you owned a home prior to 2019, you need to admit that you were lucky. Cut it with the bootstrap shite. Everyone who owned a home prior to covid got lucky. The kids coming out now don't get any luck. They didn't have a home refinanced at 2.5% that doubled in value in a year. They don't have abundant employment opportunity. They don't have shite going for them.

Yet most restaurants stay packed and I see a lot of really nice vehicles on the road. Everyone has an iPhone, 80 inch TV, internet, WiFi and eats well. Americans aren’t close to being poor.

Wait. So you’re telling me people that have worked for 35 more years have more money to afford to own a house!?
Glad I red this article. My common sense wouldn’t have figured this out on its own.

my fiancee and I are not Boomers yet we own multiple houses, almost like we figured out how to live within our means and not saddle ourselves with unnecessary credit card, vehicular, or student loan debts.
Yep, another millennial whine thread. How original.
These turds eat out every meal, buy the biggest and most expensive gas guzzlers, and travel to Disney world 3 times a year. Then they complain that paying for their grandiose lifestyles is hard. Boo hoo.

I don't understand what younger people are expecting of boomers who are just trying to transition from working to retirement
They’re not though. They’re still working, still taking senior positions, all the while still buying up real estate with their inherited buying power, all because of one thing:
They’re the most selfish generation in the history of ever. Period. Boot straps and all.

My younger brother closed on his house two weeks before the Covid lockdowns. I closed in July 2022.
He's kicking my arse in the home value department.

If tweet fails to load, click here. You verbatim. You’re so oblivious on how selfish and despised yall are. The Boomers are the biggest bunch of selfish assholes of a generation ever and they think they’re perfect.

They’re the first generation that actively wanted to leave the world in a worse condition for their children than they came into it.

Perfect post. Just chef’s kiss. Yet the Boomers will still call you a selfish little brat for being pissed that they’re selling off all their assets to BlackRock and that they’re leaving you and your children in crippling debt.

I make enough money, dude. However, the scumbag generation is going to leave us all debt and then have the balls to lecture us on how to live life. Boomers should be given the middle finger and you defending that generation writ large is pathetic. You’re an honorary Boomer as far as I’m concerned.

You expect these spoiled brats to cook? They’re so fricking lazy that even driving to a restaurant became too much work so now they have it delivered.

Idk where yall find these people at. The only people I know who eat out often are the poor people, eating out on my tax money.

am convinced boomers inherited the greatest generation’s resolve, without earning it, and is mistaking that for virtue. They are extremely entitled.
I’ve known a ton of boomers who inherited a successful business their father or grandfather built from the ground up, and they ran it straight into the ground because they lived above their means while putting in half the effort their predecessors did in running it. And I’m not talking some restaurant or small shop with thin margins, I’m talking large companies that were well oiled machines with dozens or hundreds of employees worth tens of millions

I’ve managed boomers at my office and with the exception of one, they’re mostly entitled, needy, not adaptable, and pretty lazy.
