They paid for cable or satellite
When I bought my first house there was no cable in the neighborhood. It was probably a year before cable was even available. That’s when you watch movies with the VHS or watch local stations. I remember when we first got cable I was so happy that I could watch Super Tuesday college basketball

Yall think yall are the greatest because you didnt have technology.
I'm 75, I was coding in 1970 in assembly language, I'm trying to retire now but my inbox is busy asking for tech advice and offering consulting jobs. Boomers invented the technology you use.
AI is really the first innovation for market in years, No, we were not the greatest generation as my parents were, they lived through the depression and WWII, they were very hardy, brave and innovative people. I want to see the generations to come pick up the mantle of creativity and move forward.
Go for it, but be builders not users, throw away the video games they get you nowhere.

For real. I feel sorry for his parents having a bitter little shite like him. Hopefully they don’t leave him nickels to rub together.

Boomers grew up in the real America. Feel sorry for you young dummies.

You are just a hater. There ain't nothing wrong with me. I was born when I was born. Nothing I could do about it.

my parents were depression babies, the experiences they grew up with shaped their mindset, they made a pretty successful life together and although they enjoyed the fruits of their labor they always had a rainy day in mind, and planned for the future, made sure to help everyone they could along the way, not a bad mindset to have as opposed to “wah!”, I can’t have what I want right now and it’s because of the generations before me”

This is everywhere in the trades. Finding American kids who are willing to sweat is near impossible.
For years I thought illegals were going to steal our jobs. Now it's like. Hell naw. They're going to fill them since our lazy gamers can't and don't want to. Too bad too because it's monopoly money incomes right now.

College loans
Must’ve been nice to not have college prices that have outpaced every other cost.

Why do you feel the compulsive need to suck your own penis about how wonderful and superior your financial decisions are all the time? Is it the schtick you’re going for or something?
Also, if boomers made such incredible financial decisions, why do half of them not have 100k saved for retirement and 25% of them don’t have a penny?
Older millennials are growing their wealth faster than previous generations
