Boomers getting to buy a house and a 4 year college degree for peanuts and then using all the extra money to invest to get even more money must have been nice. The Gen Z’ers’ and young millennials stuck paying rent for an apartment or house are paying that rent to…..you guest it, boomers who have invested in real estate and then bought up all the houses to rent out. Boomers stacking up the cash while they’re screwed the future generations out of building equity.


And then they'll blow it on cars or vacations or end of life care before they are able to pass it down

Yep and Hillary was going to crush Trump. Kamala was going to beat Trump.



Trump isn't on the ballot.

And I don't recall anyone saying Kamala was going to win, FYI. Trump pretty much locked that up the second he was shot

The truth is most would be just fine buying those smaller square foot houses. It's that those neighborhoods have all gone to shite and become ghetto and no one decent wants to live in those neighborhooods.

55 is too young with just that amount saved to sit and do nothing. Keep working

frick all that shite. Sounds miserable. I put everything on my credit card that I can then pay bills that I can’t out of my checking. If it looks like I won’t have enough to cover in my checking I move money from my HYSA to cover it.

I try to move as much money as I can to my HYSA and sometimes it’s too much so I have to move it back


Yeah, to each their own. I would not be able to stand not being completely dialed in. I use a credit card for everything too but I literally pay it off daily. Admittedly, that's a little much. But, I truly believe being extremely organized has helped grow my NW tremendously since I started doing it like that about six years ago
I track every dollar that goes in/out of my accounts on an excel sheet that I monitor and update daily.
