@WheelieInvestor The year you make a down payment on a house looks like you lost a bunch of money on paper. A few years later in a hot real estate market you are flying high.

People don’t know how to evaluate an investment anymore. Everyone just wants a quick buck.

@b_co_co I’m 48 and bought with cash.

I was born into a broke family. My “boomer” father averaged about $9k year income through my childhood.

It’s easy to blame “boomers” but reality is some people are just good at making money and most people really, really suck at it.

@_josephine0_ What leftover bacon?

@daviexbt My dude, I was doing this in 2004… Rented a sweet top floor loft. Downtown Knoxville. Salary was $36,000/yr.

Also had a new car. Ate very well. Enjoyed nightlife several times a week.

I think my rent was like $640.

It’s possible now at 2x both salary and expenses.

@LTD39292141 @murphy_thom @jonbrooks I want to work remote. From a $250k 3bed/2bath condo. On Santa Monica Beach. With a 3% mortgage.

Boomers took that opportunity away from me, I guess?

lol

@SeeSawRrr @skumWgmi Fund managers don’t work for free. All ETFs and mutual funds have a management fee.

@middle_class_us Americans are free to grow wealth… and also free to sit around on their arse staying broke.

@senatejr My “boomer” parents told not to leverage debt for a degree unless it was really necessary for me to get a job.

It wasn’t.

Had a great life with a six figure income for over 25 years. All I had to do was make things people want.

College is a product. Not a key to a career.

[Moderator @AmericanCrux]

@senatejr Yeah - that’s the kind of sht you gotta pay in chunks like 1-2k/mo - plus your bonuses and stock and other windfall from work, etc, until it is paid. And if your job doesn’t pay that much or you have no job - why the F did you leverage debt for a degree to get a high paying job?
