re: Going Forward from a Boomer's Perspective.

The opposite, actually. Boomers needed a millennial to help them create the wealth you’re describing
Are millennials retarded? It's hard to follow the narrative you guys have bought into.
Boomers have too much, they stole the prosperity of young people and now won't share it. But it was millennials that made the money for boomers somehow. How did this happen?
What exactly did boomers do to hurt millennials?

The damn RINO's either best get out the way or turn around from their apathetic tendency toward all this invasive influence. JUST SAY NO you idiots.

You’re a boomer? Makes sense now, carry on but your generation took a giant shite on the nation from JFK through Jimmy Carter. You are largely to blame for all the ills facing the nation

If we can get young people to start voting conservative, we'd have a shot.

You guys have bought a Leftist narrative, and now you're clinging to it like your life depends on it.

Very, very, very little is worse by past comparisons to the present.

Ah yes the "We've been amazing you just don't understand," response. Look, I'll fully admit from a consumerism perspective we have more stuff and comforts. That's fine. And if that's what you want to hang your hat on, have at it. But let's see what it took to get there:
The destructions of marriage, family, the household, traditional gender roles
Two working parent households
Destruction of the education system
Massive debt increase
Higher cumulative taxes
More debt vehicles for everyone
Outrageous college costs
The off shoring of large swaths of labor functions
The weakening of the dollar
Poorer cultural products
Corporatization of every facet of culture
All under Boomer watch

Do you actually understand why this happens? It's a revolt against the present because the promises never materialize. The results never add up.

Thanks for giving us bush, Romney, McCain, etc.
I just have to comment on this BS. This is the way it works here in Texas. There is an Iowa Caucus first in January. Later in January there is the New Hampshire primary. In February there are primaries in South Carolina and Nevada and in late February a primary in Michigan. By that time we get to Super Tuesday in March, it is mostly over and I get to vote for whomever was chosen in the previous two months. It's a pisser much of the responsibility is give to non southern states.

The education industry infested with Marxists, their fellow travelers and their useful idiots needs to be one part of the clean up.

Amen. My father was 18 when he joined the navy to fight in WWII. He fought in the South Pacific. He was on PT Boat 220, Squadron 16. He died in 2006. I thank the Lord everyday that he is no longer here to see what this country has become and what he fought for may be lost.

It isn’t a “leftist” narrative to know what Vietnam era did to this nation. It isn’t hyperbole to suggest the 60’s and 70’s all but destroyed the nation. JFK assassination through Watergate destroyed Americans trust in government, Vietnam destroyed their trust in the military, Great Society has nearly destroyed black culture, and your inability to vote for anyone who remotely suggests reforming SS has bankrupted the nation. There hasn’t been a more damaging generation

The narrative part is you think all this shite should be laid at the feet of Boomers.
FFS the oldest boomer was, what, 15 when JFK was assassinated, maybe 16 when the great society was started, and you’re blaming boomers for Vietnam?
I’m a boomer. I was 12 during Watergate, you dumbass.
So your whole rant is nothing short of retarded. You just blamed a bunch of teenagers for the ills that plague the nation.

And the promises never adding up is a narrative provided by the Left, counter to reality.
You understand when it’s the narrative sold to blacks, women, any other “aggrieved group” but you’re blind to the narrative you’ve been sold.
For the record, the counter argument isn’t how super awesome boomers are. The counter argument is that you, like me, are fortunate to be Americans and that for the most part, with few exceptions - life gets better and easier from generation to generation.
What were you promised that never materialized?

If you want to feel better about it the communist left has been burrowing into academia and the deep state (State Dept, CIA, etc) since WW2.
McCarthy was right about all of it and now we will either beat them politically using populist conservatism ala Charlie Kirk/Trump, fight them kinetically or my generation (millennials) will see the nation go socialist.
MAGA/AF cannot fail or there will be hell to pay.

You do realize a generation is 20 years boy wonder? Just because you were 12 in 72 doesn’t mean the rest of your generation was. I am fine if you want to lump in some from the tail end of the Greatest Generation who had nothing to do with WW2. You people were given a golden parachute and you decided to rip a hole in it with a machete

Buddy calm down. I made them money.
You shot yourself in one foot here, then you doubled down. Talk about playing into a stereotype, hobbles.
Let's review your posting trainwreck:
• Millennials are hosed by boomers
• Biden was responsible for equities and real estate growth from 2020-23
• The great wealth transfer is nothing but a boomer myth
• The GWT will be consumed by tax mandates boomers have championed
• You claim to have made your money managing boomer money ...
• Boomers needed you, a millennial. to help them create their wealth
• By parasitizing off of boomer earnings, you retired before age 40
• Very few boomers bother with taking steps to protect their heirs
It's a series of stupidity. Despite the adage "You can't fix 'Stupid'," I'll at least address some of it.
Your central premise is that somehow "boomers" sucked all the resources out of the economy, disabling millennial opportunity. Incredibly you make that claim while simultaneously claiming to be a money manager.
One would assume a money professional would understand the characteristics of wealth aggregation d/t creation vs confiscation. But apparently you don't. E.g., Over half of S&P money resides with companies created in the last few decades. The companies, jobs, and secondary opportunities did not exist before that. Nor did the wealth they created.
Likewise, one would assume a money manager would understand the difference between wealth dispensation and wealth destruction. But you don't. While you acknowledge aggregate wealth foundational to the GWT, you imply selfish boomers will spend it all on themselves. A person moderately familiar with high school economics would understand that such money spent does not disappear. It reenters the economy, a fact which apparently escapes you.
Regarding implications that US millennials have faced some sort of unique generational deprivation, here is a per capita GDP graph encompassing the majority of millennial adulthood and opportunity:
The thing speaks for itself. You say, as a millennial, you made enough money off of boomers "to get out" on your terms before you turned 40. Yet you imply your generation lacks opportunity. How many of the boomers whose money you handled were able "to get out" before they turned 40? Perhaps some?
Now then, the real question .... how many of those boomers who could "get out," did get out before they turned 40. Assuredly, the answer is almost none. A cynic would note that differential plays to stereotypical generational work ethic differences.
As someone who personally ignores stereotypes IRL, I raise the above considerations as a response to your arguments which are based on stereotype.

My wife a I spent a lot of money putting together a revokable living trust to divvy up what we can't take with us for the kids and grandkids. I've never seen a U-Haul trailer behind the hearse.

I respect how dedicated you are to this, but you’ve wasted your time arguing with yourself based on your incorrect understanding of what I’ve said
I hope that’s intentional and you’re just bored looking for a reason to sky scream.
