Please. There's also a ton of academic work that predicts the weather is going to kill us all by 2012.

Covid unemployment rate is fake, just like Biden taking credit for creating all the jobs post-lockdowns.

Hmmm, I recently heard a presentation that Millennial and Gen Z are having a much harder time buying a first home than their elders did at the same age.

I'd like to see this type of analysis where size and features of homes are considered. I've never seen that, but I have a feeling it tells a different story than the TikTok narrative.

Probably not, they have to keep their true feelings to themselves so they can get that Boomer inheritance.


Gotta get that inheritance to pay for the $900k "starter home" here in the next 5 years

Once kids move out, 50-65 are your years to stack cash for retirement.
I'm over 50 and still have a teenager in high school. Also, children aren't moving out as quickly as they did in the past due to whichever narrative you want to believe. Helping octogenarian parents is also a factor in many Gen X households. I can't wait to "start to stack cash" in my 60s.

Yes. Yes. Because the academics have been so absolutely infallible in their predictions and actions to keep this country on an even keel.

The “academics” currently cannot define what a woman is or what bathroom to use.

Young People’s Wealth Is Growing Much Faster Than Older Generations

When liberals start taking that money in taxes and reparations. They will turn on the libs like rabid dogs.

I remember when my daughter turned conservative.

She was 16 and got her first check from her first job. An after-school job at Sonic (wanna fight?)

Her: DADDY! Look how much of my money they took.

Me: Someone has to pay for all that welfare, food stamps, and social programs the Democrats hand out. That someone is now you.

Her: Screw that. Let them get a job too.

Me: Remember that when you get old enough to vote.

She has remembered.

Reminds me of this kid going off about taxes.

Again, this is how inflation adjusted income performed in both circumstances. If you juxtapose the 1980's downturn and aftermath with that of 2008-9, the thing speaks for itself.

"Boomer" crisis performance in red is overlayed atop "Millennial" crisis performance in blue.

Which outcome would you want?

From memory:
1. Younger folks haven't saved as much money for a down payment. Some of that is discipline but a lot is higher apartment rental rates today than back then (adjusted for inflation).

2. Starter homes aren't being built since there is more money in bigger homes with lots of nice stuff. The shortage of starter homes equals higher prices.

Every single thread you post in shows more and more that you have zero knowledge as to any actual thing you talk about

Yeah, not sure about this. I have one in each generation and they both spend as quick as they make it. You can only suggest that they set aside some to savings/401K, but can't make them.

Maybe but given what both my college educated kids do for a living and given what I put into savings in my work life and through investing, they will never catch me. But they will get it in the end anyway.
