Just reminiscing about the good old days when handshakes meant something and youngsters weren't incessantly bitching ๐บ๐ธ
Satire. Long Live The Facebook!
@JesterJum Jester Cum - why is *literally* everything our fault? Boomers get blamed for everything when, in reality, we were just trying to leave the world (and flooring) better for the younger generations. ๐ฅ๐๐คก๐ช๐ช๐บ๐ธ๐ขโ๏ธ

@RapidResponse47 Yes, yes! It is most definitely the boomers who need the most tax breaks! Can I write off our fourth summer home now??? ๐บ๐ธ๐ฅ๐ค๐๐ช๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
Failure to launch, Boomer. It really wasn't that hard. Work for a few years. Retire at 48. Sell a few homes for 75% profit - rinse, repeat. Go on cruises. ๐ข๐ขโ๏ธ๐ค๐ค๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐คฏ
โI worked my WHOLE life. 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY single year.โ
Outside the Social Security office, sheโs trying to understand why her check is only $876 a month.
โAfter a lifetime of workโฆ this is all I get? Meanwhile, billions are sent to ILLEGALS who never paid a dime.โ
@MatrixMysteries Did you even Boomer, lady? It really wasn't that hard. Work for a few years. Retire at 48. Sell a few homes for 75% profit - rinse, repeat. Go on cruises. ๐ค๐ค๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ข๐ข๐ขโ๏ธ
Don't let anyone tell you 1960 was butterflies and rainbows. My childhood home was only 5,800 sq ft and my parents paid a nickel and ten grapes for it. Trying times. ๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธโ ๏ธ๐
John Stossel proposes that we are all wrong. He says it wasn't all wonderful back in the 1950s and 60s.
โOnce, families could own a home & send their kids to college on one income. But the homes were smaller."
Is the issue a lack of small and cheap houses? Has the average home become too luxurious? I see tons a lousy small older houses still around in Florida. They look horrible and still cost $300,000.
The cost of university is WAY more expensive. The inflation has gone up way faster than incomes.
@WallStreetMav It WAS really terrible in 1960. My childhood home was only 5,800 sq ft and my parents paid a nickel and ten grapes for it. Trying times. ๐๐๐บ๐ธโ ๏ธ๐
@antibearthesis Actually, we sold ours for $5.2 million and it only cost $10 + 3 bananas. Try not to make wide-sweeping generalizations, son. ๐คฏ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ฅ๐๐บ๐ธ
How boomers feel after they:
- Bought a house for $15k
- Sold it 30 years later for $2 million
- Got hired without having a college degree
- Retired right before AI takes everyone's job
Americans are finding its very hard to get a job in todayโs job market
โI just got denied from Walmart as a cashier. I have a f*cking master's degree, bro. I went to school for 12 yearsโ
He says he has applied for roughly 300 entry level positions with a masters degree
โI have applied to over 300 companies and I've gotten response back from 11 of them. Why the f*ck do you think I'm applying to Walmart to be a cashier? Because no one is hiring. Why do you even post a job offering? You're not gonna hire anyone or respond.โ
Current job market data
- Roughly 42% of recent college graduates (ages 22โ27, bachelorโs or higher) are underemployed
- This is also the case of advanced degrees
- Right now data says it is not uncommon for job seekers to put in as many as 250 applications before getting a call back
This is crazy
@joedirt501 Joe Dirt - maybe you should get a better job instead of blaming boomers. Being a janitor canโt pay well. ๐๐๐ช๐ค๐๐๐คฃ๐ฅ๐บ๐ธ๐
Nobody wants a 3,500 sq ft boomer house.
Gen Z doesn't want it.
Millennials can't afford it.
Foreign buyers are gone.
These homes are becoming stranded assets. And there are thousands of them sitting on the market right now.
