Because they are not the ones who are complaining about affordability.
Then why are they complaining about ss reform, Medicare reform and actively pushing politicians all over the country to get rid of property taxes for people over 65?

And when they do drink, they aren’t drinking K&B vodka, Beams #8 whiskey, or Schaefer Light, that’s for damn sure
most young people drink domestic beer, and Jim Beam is a whole $5 less a bottle than Makers Mark which is the leading seller among those under 50 and Beam is still the leading seller in college towns

There is a wee bit of price difference between Natty Light and Sierra Nevada Triple IPAs.

Ironically, the value of a dollar was much greater back then

So spending money back in the day on gallons of alcohol wasn't?
I sure if you really listened, you'd find those Boomers chastising the $6 coffee would say the same about booze and cigarettes.
BTW....I grew up kinda poor. Now I'm retired and very well off financially. What I learned about working, saving, and being wise with money is that's it's not really how much money you make, it's how much money you keep. That's a big reason people disparage the frivolous spend.

gen z doesn't do craft beer - thats why all the craft breweries closed

Insane price for water. I bought a decent sized refillable metal bottle and have not looked back. Strategic water fountain missions are key.

Why do you hate old people.

how fricking stupid are you
yea all those high end brands just started making money when millennials turned 21
Hey retard. I didn't say they "just started making money". They are making MORE money. Just like Coca Cola made money 100 years ago. And are making MORE money now because more people drink soft drinks because each generation is drinking MORE. You have issues wrapping your head around that concept.
And FYI, grey goose (for example) sells 76% more cases than they did 20 years ago. So sales have DOUBLED since Millennials started turning the drinking age. And in the 90s Makers Mark was selling about 500k cases annually. Now it is the 3 million cases range.
Sorry to bust your retarded take. Try harder

That's the equivalent of $16/gal. and the frivolous will happily buy the water and bitch about $3.50/gal. gasoline.

You're comparing apples to bricks here.
The younger generations bring their woe is me I can't afford anything arguments to this board routinely along with the Boomers suck because they won't retire, they have all the wealth, and I'm paying their SS welfare to this board almost daily.
They are responding to the idiotic ideas brought on this board by the younger generation daily saying they should just forfeit the $300-$500K that they have given the gov't over the past 40+ years.
They are not starting threads saying woe is me I can't afford shite on the monthly check I get from SS. Although there are several Boomers out there and probably on this board that feel this pain they're just not complaining about it or starting daily threads on subject.
Advocacy groups such as AARP are doing their job and pushing for Sr Benefits is completely different than Boomers coming to this board stating they shouldn't have to pay property taxes.

“I’m old enough to remember this”
I remember when those machines sold Cokes for a nickel”
Gumball machines were a penny.
We never drank Cokes as kids unless we were sick.My mother always had a 6 pack but they were for company.
In the summer. she would fix a gal.cooler of Kool Aid or our favorite Delaware Punch.

Old people bought their house for a pack of cigs and then bitch about Gen Z spending habits
Posted on 7/13/26 at 6:24 pm to boogiewoogie1978
Why do young people ask questions like this and shoot down all the answers?

You’re the retard phaggot - younger generations drink less soda
Also Gen Z and younger millennials consume the least grey goose and makers mark

Reform doesn’t equal forfeit all the money that’s also not yours anymore
You also expect millennials and Gen Z to pay more taxes so you can collect that money
And you are straight up lying that boomers don’t complain on here about losing their ss and their have also been plenty of threads with them cheering on elimination of their property taxes
Who should make up the revenue shortfall when your advocacy group gets the legislation passed?
