re: So all I need to do to afford a $750,000 house

It seems the younger ones want now, what it took their parents years to build up to. Everything in life requires discipline and patience.

Trump said, "Protect the old and sick. Let everyone else get it and get over it". He was exactly right. Did you vote against him in 2020? If you did, part of the blame for your problems lies with you.

You are making everything personal "you should have done this" "you should have done that"

Its some weird way to put yourself above everyone you are arguing with I guess. We are talking macro and you always circle back to "sonny boy you just need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps"

Who's we? You got a mouse in your pocket?

Again old man, we are talking macroeconomics. "We" is society as a whole

Please explain this. Boomers had it much worse in the 70's and 80's financially. They were just not as entitled as you seem to think you are.

Ive already done the math in this thread and others multiple times and proven your premise wrong.

Seems you are asking for a bailout now, since you can't get the home you want, in the location you want, at the price you can afford and perfect so you don't have to fix anything. Ever hear the story of the Pot and the Kettle?

Again, you are playing this fantasy game where im a lazy kid who doesnt want to work and wants to eat avacado toast and play nintendo. You arent superior to anyone.

Im not asking for a bailout at all...quite the opposite. I want a market correction. This is ultimately what gets the Boomers and Xers jimmies in a bunch. Yall have the majority of the wealth...and stand to lose the most if we do have a correction. I too would feel some pain...but not near as much as retired or retiring soon people.

If you say it enough and wish apon a star...maybe one day it will be true.

So we can assume that you did vote against the Big Orange Meanie.

I see a lot of whining going on. If you listened to that bootstraps stuff you'd likely be better off.

Again old man

Seems kinda personal.

Absolutely not. You have proven nothing.

Never said I was. If you aren't lazy, what have you done to solve your issues?

One only loses if one sells. If you don't have a house payment, car payment or credit card payments how much money do you really need a month? YOU will still be paying into social security, so we can live off that and spend our 401K when the market comes back. ;)
Did I hit a nerve? Geez you seem to be making things awful personal. Either practice what you preach or quit preaching.

Poor poor wittle you. Must be so sad to be a perpetual victim.

We had some new hires who came in with a 4 year degree and expected to have the salary and office of people who had been doing it 20 plus years after only 1 year on the job.

It doesn't work that way. I told them, you proved you could attend class, read a book, and pass a test. That gets you a job. No company is handing you a meaty salary after 1 year of doing the job.

Comapnies expect you to put in 2-3 years before you start seeing real dividends because they want to see a person that wants to be there long term. Not just some kid wanting a resume line for the next job.

You are a clown who refuses to engage in intellectual honesty. We are done here

I believe in exceptionalism, but I believe it REAL economies. Not ones propped up by printed money, government subsidized stock market and housing market.

All the bitching, whining, complaining and crying in the world won't change where we are currently at. Sounds like you are mad because you don't want to work your way up to a big house, in a great neighborhood, with great school system.

The same board that complains about $10 chicken tenders forbids young people to complain about a ridiculous real estate market requiring $450k entry prices into the market

We've had obama as president 12 of the last 16 years in this country but they are telling you it was harder back then

The same people who are saying we are on the edge of societal collapse if Trump can't right the shite FAST are saying things were just as hard if not harder 50 years ago.

The people who won't walk around any major city in america even if you gave them a private security detail are telling you it's smart to put your wife and young children in the "ghetto" to save a few bucks.

TARP was not a bailout.

yeah we are done here
