It’s just impossible to explain why people who are older have more wealth.

Well a young man
He ain't got nothin' in the world these days
I said a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
In the old days
When a young man was a strong man
All the people stepped back
When a young man walked by
You know nowadays
Well it's the old man's
Got all the money
And a young man
Ain't got nothin' in the world these days
You know nowadays, if you're the young man
You ain't got nothin' in the world these days

And has a single boomer has come in here to say that its preferable to pass down wealth rather than spending at will?

Keep up the hate. Gen X feeds off it.
Know what? That may be why the younger gens are weaker… Gen X is siphoning off your hate life force and making us stronger. And making the younger gens weak.
That’s why you folks are getting limp wrists and chopping off your dicks. We are pulling too much of your life force from you, and making you weak, because you are a generation of haters.

Makes the case for having the Ignore feature on this forum. The turd is insufferable.

For instance for college at Bama it would cost $100k instate for 4 years.
Most the parents I know paid for their kids’ undergraduate degrees. Sure, there are some who don’t, but those are mainly the ones who did not do what I specified: Work 50 hours per week and live within your means. If they had they’d be affluent and would pay for their kids’ undergraduate degree.
You asked what I called affluent. I would say it’s a family of four or five earning $250k per year when the parents are 40 years old. By that time, they should have at least 17 years in on their career(s).

For the next 15 years, a substantial part of our economy will be based on Boomers spending money they earned decades ago.

To me that’s fair, but it’s reflective of a corporate career path worldview rather than an asset based perspective to wealth which is probably why I am so opposed to not passing down money.
Only by acquiring revenue producing assets can you leave the middle class corporate ladder and that can happen so much faster and easier with a bit of nudge up front.
For example a $1k S&P 500 mutual fund given at birth with $100 added per year would be $7700 at age 18, $47k at 40 and $330k at age 65.
The combination of time and compound interest is so powerful, I just hate seeing good American families struggle financially because we usually end up on the wrong side of it.

Your post speaks so harshly of you, and your Aberdeen Scotland cohorts. But it is a perspective setter for those of us who might be (unbelievably) considering a visit to eastern Scotland.
I just set my post location to Aberdeen so I could self report my online hate speech to UK Law Enforcement to make them waste time investigating it
Boomers still suck, while there are some cool ones most are repulsive

Blaming everyone within a generation for your own failings is typical left wing garbage.

Sure it’s easier, but anyone of at least average intelligence can leave the middle class by making a plan and working hard at it. Steve Jobs said, “Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year, and they underestimate what they can do in 20 years.” Make a plan, stick with it for 20 years, and you will be rich. You don’t need help from your mom and dad.

Opened this thread and laughed at all the boomer downvotes. They’ll never change.

We live in a country with such 'limited' upward mobility that the second richest person in the world is a millennial. The richest person in the world is Gen X. Both are self-made US hectobillionaires. Meanwhile, the OP video clip holds that "Life is nearly impossible for millennials" because "boomers took it all."
It's a funny thread.

What is so bad about life for millennials (or any other age group) that has so many believing their parents or grandparents (or their country) failed them?
Millennials thought they were entitled to their parents’ standard of living once they left their childhood home. The concept of starting from the bottom and having to work your way up over decades completely escaped them, thus their perpetual hissy fit.

There are a number of people that have made millions selling millennials on the notion that they deserve the world and it's boomers' fault they don't have it. My favorite is Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU that is revered and constantly cited by millennials.
It looks like Tucker has decided to get in on the grift.
And I have to laugh at Kirk & Tucker supporting their argument with, "boomers have more wealth than all the other generations" - well, no shite. Now explain why that shouldn't be the case.

That's one of the funny aspects of this debate on PT. Most of the whiners consider themselves conservative and don't realize they are parroting a Lefty narrative with the "boomers stole my wealth".

And isn’t it interesting how they’re all supposedly doing great. It’s “other people” who are struggling because of the meanie boomers.

But posters in this thread like yourself, along with Carlson and Kirk, are apparent espousers of it.
