re: This is why millennials are unhappy

A lot of baby boomers are leftists.

more millenials are leftist. Many more

You elected FJ Biden, You arranged the medical tyranny of the lockdowns intended for you to steal the election of 2020. You are responsible for the anti-white racism of CRT.

In fact there is nothing you have gotten right yet

I do too, I just don't get the fetish of blaming it all on boomers.

Boomers as a whole do suck as well.

Millennials have been fricked but they haven’t really felt the impact of that yet. It certainly isn’t because there is a lack of opportunity to earn.

It’s because our debt is going to kill us and they will be responsible (relative to boomers) to bear that cost.

Ironically, it’s boomers and millenials that embody the leftist mentality the most.

So for all you boomers just saying "work harder"... this is the ultimate "OK Boomer" moment...

Explain why people, many without college degrees, are successful today??

Luck?

Or is it work and persistence?

quote:

A lot of us had grandfathers that worked for barely above min wage in the 70s and yet still owed a house, etc.

That is BS, you could never buy a house while making barely above minimum wage. You could get more beer and more gas, but you weren't going into home ownership.

Millennials always "forget" boomers paid higher mortgage rates and boomers actually paid Federal Income Taxes.

The Child Tax Credit allows people to skate on Fed taxes.

They should be happy with interest rates. A mortgage was just over 7% and was climbing.

There are a couple undeniable facts here. This is coming from an older millennial.
1. The cost of living has increased drastically to the point that we have 10-20% of the country living pretty well and the rest are struggling just to stay afloat.
2. The younger generations are absolutely spoiled, lazy, and entitled. And more than a little jaded. Not all of them of course but the ones that aren’t are in the 10-20% doing well. The rest are all trying to “work” by making TikTok videos, being an “influencer”, or wasting their time creating 50 different genders and new languages for each of them. It’s the modern version of trying to be an actor or singer.
3. Boomers have absolutely sold the country and future generations down the river. They’re the last with pensions. They let our infrastructure crumble and cut investments in the future to give themselves tax breaks while expecting future generations to pay the bill. They’ve siphoned off every dollar they can out of the economy and voted for people who spent 250 years worth of wealth in 30.
4. Now that the younger generation is realizing they are stuck with a raw deal and really beginning to complain, the boomers ridicule them and tell everyone “just do without, you expect too much” completely oblivious to the fact that they haven’t “done without” for 1 second of their lives. The Boomers grew up in a time of unprecedented wealth in the US brought about by the destruction of the rest of the world in WW2. They’ve run up 30 trillion in debt and hundreds of trillions more in future liabilities trying to keep the 50’s and 60’s going.
5. One reason that isn’t much talked about for all the supply chain problems is that boomers with lots of disposable income stopped spending it on travel for a couple years and shifting the cash to goods.
6. Covid was actually a good opportunity to fix some of this by thinning out the boomer herd and saving us a bunch of entitlement money, but of course they make sure to protect themselves at the expense of the economy and the education and livelihoods of young people. It’s like this was their final going away present for us.
7. And finally, the younger generations are taking the exact wrong approach to fix this stuff. They’re buying into the “feel good” Marxist garbage that leads to ruin. You can kind of understand where they’re coming from but it’s still stupid.

Use average income.
Today it's $51,480 so a factor of 5.47
That gets you a house of $128,272
That gets you a new car for $18,781.

That’s why I’ve worked more than one job since junior year of college with the exception of medical school where I worked one.


Don’t be average. If you are, accept being average.
