What’s the angle here? Are you trying to buy a house with boomer apologies?

Even with the challenges this generation is facing, you are still living in the riches and best country to ever exist, in an era that is more prosperous and easy than any generation in the history of man. You have more opportunities to create wealth than any person living in any other country in the world. The opportunities are there for anyone who seeks them. If you seek after excuses and reasons why you can’t thrive, you’ll find them.

So a group who, almost half were born into a home with no indoor plumbing, left the country in worse shape?
1945, 45% of households relied on outhouses or lacked piped, hot running water, especially in rural areas of the American South and Midwest."
If you don't know what you are talking about its best to remain silent.

We have all seen and heard what younger people are asking for from our beloved Federal Government. While this multi-trillion-dollar liability is not the Boomers' fault alone(it is all generations since...oh...the early 1900's), the younger generation will only make it worse with their wants.
Again the issue is not generational, but ideological. FDR and LBJ did the most to create the dept ridden government and the welfare state, but the left has been intentionally trying to push it to the point of collapse for decades.

Just keep in mind that the Boomers were the drug-addled hippies of the 1960s and 70s
That was about 5% of the population. And they stuck to their own crowd. A non user would not date a drug user.
And re: we had lower college prices. If colleges were very expensive when I was in H.S. I would have skipped college and tried to move up in TV/radio broadcasting. The owner of my station told me that a degree in broadcasting gives you ZERO advantage in getting a job at a higher level.

Young people vote too.
I was in college when if you didn't vote Obama you were a racist. That was millennials saying that crap.

No, it wasn't. It was your college teachers saying that crap. College profs work for the Dem party.

It’s all just human nature. Boomers didn’t exactly have it easy. Fricken getting drafted to go to Vietnam would send all the millennials into a mental breakdown just at the thought of. The stuff they that was actually easier for them, home ownership, stable careers all required devoting 40+years of stamping out truck bumpers in some factory in the sweltering heat and freezing cold and not complaining about it.
Millennials live in an entirely different world as the boomers did. They expect a guy who grew up pushing an old wheel with a stick if they weren’t delivering newspapers or doing chores to feel bad for some youngsters who lay on the couch, in a/c, in their pajamas and staring into their phones or playing video games.
It’s retardation to dwell on the few things that were seemingly easier for previous generations when you spend your days staring vapidly into a screen in absolute physical comfort. Especially when that same screen can open an entire world of free education and unlimited access to knowledge and opportunities.
Go push an old tire with a stick all day for fun while wearing hand me downs from some kid down the street. Then crack open the 3 year old encyclopedia that’s missing a couple letters to do your homework after washing dinner plates and taking out the trash. See how much you like it

The only real legitimate criticism of baby boomers as a whole is that as a generation they have lived too long and are taking advantage of a system that was created that did not anticipate that the enhanced quality of life would lead to their influencing the societal agenda long after other generations were retiring and dying off.
Example: I saw something on Rick Springfield last night of how he is having something of a career Renaissance because of the energy he shows on stage. He's 76 years old. Our grandfathers were lucky to make it to 76 much less be in great physical and mental shape at that age much less be able to do a 2 hr rock show with your shirt off with a physique that looks like you are in your prime....and he's not alone.
The problem is they stay relevant at the expense of Gen X which in the past should be dictating the cultural societal agenda with the millennial starting to make themselves known.
But. You can't just tell these folks to die.

My Boomer Father in Law bought his first house for $35,000.00 in the 70s. He sold it for $280,000.00 in 2006 and it just sold for $495,000.00. It was a starter home back in the 70s

At some point these posts border on pathetic.
You have no clue ... ZERO ... regarding what previous generations were "given", "earned", or pissed away. You suppose homes were always air conditioned, with luxury appointments, because they are now. You assume computers, the internet, on line shopping, 500 TV channels on multiple TVs in a home were always around, because you cannot fathom life without them.
You were born on 3rd base, and yet you're bitching that you still have to make it home.

You might check some of the early theories on why the polio epidemic of the late 40's, 50's.
Suggestion is... polio is a virus that spreads through human waste contact, yet when its everywhere young folks developed slight cases that created immunity. Just like the immunity claims of covid contact
Post WW2, there was lots of real interest in plumbing, real toilets, waste water treatment, drinking water standards etc that eliminated many disease .
So the slight cases of polio evaporated and the subsequent immunity, resulting in the epidemic
I would say that a very large amount of housing used out houses in the 40's was a true statement. I personally used a couple of them
