BOOMER: “Back in my day we didn’t need therapy. We just worked hard.”
ME: “You also had pensions, affordable healthcare, and a house cost 3x your salary.”
BOOMER: “That’s true but we didn’t complain.”
ME: “You didn’t have to. The system actually worked for you.”
BOOMER: “Kids today are too soft.”
ME: “Kids today are working harder for less and you’re calling them soft for noticing.”

Unpopular opinion:
Buying a house is not always the smart financial move people make it out to be.
A $400,000 house at 7% interest over 30 years costs you $958,000 total.
You’re not building wealth. You’re paying almost $1,000,000 for a $400,000 asset while the bank collects the difference.
Renting and investing the gap has outperformed homeownership in almost every major city over the last 15 years.
The “renting is throwing money away” crowd never mentions the $558,000 you threw away in interest.

BOOMER: “Just buy a house instead of renting.”
ME: “Average house is $420,000.”
BOOMER: “Get a mortgage then.”
ME: “Rates are at 7%. That’s $2,800 a month.”
BOOMER: “Cut back on expenses.”
ME: “I don’t eat out. I don’t travel. I drive a 2015 Civic.”
BOOMER: “Maybe get a second job.”
Funny how every solution means working more for a system that keeps making the finish line further away.
But nobody ever tells the banks to lower the rates.

My cousin turned $10,000 into $1,800,000 on $TSLA
Bought 1,000 shares at $10 back in 2012.
Those same shares are worth $1,800,000 today.
People called him crazy for holding.
Now they’re asking him for advice.

$SPCX just made history.
The IPO raised $75,000,000,000 , the largest in history.
Total shares outstanding: 13,076,000,000.
Shares were priced at $135, opened at $150, and closed the day at $161.11.
That’s a 19% gain in a single day.
The stock hit an all-time intraday high of $176.52.
Market cap: over $2,100,000,000,000 making SpaceX the 6th most valuable company in America.
Right before the opening bell, SpaceX launched its 650th Falcon 9 rocket carrying Starlink satellites into orbit.
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire.. on the same day his rocket company became a public stock.
When I was 19 I worked at a grocery store making $9.50 an hour.
My manager pulled me aside one day and said “you’re too smart to be doing this forever, what’s the plan?”
I didn’t have one.
He sat me down on his break and showed me how he’d been putting $50 a week into an index fund since he was 22. Said it wasn’t about the amount, it was about never stopping.
I started doing the same thing that week. $50 a week. Sometimes less when money was tight, but I never fully stopped.
That was 11 years ago.
I checked the account yesterday. It’s worth $94,000.
I make more money now obviously, but that account started with $50 a week from a grocery store paycheck and a manager who didn’t have to care but did.
Find your version of that guy. Or be that guy for someone else.
10 years ago full coverage car insurance averaged $1,200 a year.
Today the same coverage averages $2,600 a year.
That’s a 117% increase in a decade.
On a bill you’re legally required to pay just to drive to work.
If insurance more than doubled in 10 years, everything else already did too.
And your paycheck did not.
My mom paid $1,200 a semester for college in 1995. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $2,500 today.
I just checked my tuition bill. It’s $14,000 a semester.
And they still tell us we’re broke because we eat avocado toast.
No. What’s crushing this generation is a system that let tuition grow 6x faster than inflation while wages barely moved.
It was never about the toast.
Boomers:
• Bought a house
• Had kids
• Took one vacation a year
Millennials:
• Compare mortgage rates for fun
• Have spreadsheets for everything
• Wonder if guacamole was a financial mistake
Different generations.
Different boss fights.
Four months ago, @Neonprimals was just an idea.
Today, it’s becoming reality.
Countless late nights, challenges, revisions, and hard work have gone into building this collection.
Along the way, I’ve met incredible artists, co-founders, and team members who believed in the vision from day one.
What started as a dream is finally coming to life.
Neon Primals is coming to Solana sooner than you think.
In 2005:
• $100,000 felt like serious money
In 2026:
• $100,000 gets taxed
• Rent takes a chunk
• Groceries take a chunk
• Insurance takes a chunk
• Everything takes a chunk
The number got bigger.
The purchasing power didn't.
In 2002, Elon Musk had to introduce himself and spell out his name.
Today, he doesn't have to do that ever again.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire, and we all watched it happen.
All it took was 24years .

Our grandparents worked 40 hours a week and could afford a house, a car, and retirement.
We work 60 hours across multiple jobs and still can’t afford rent on our own.
If working twice as hard gets you half as far, that’s not a personal failure.
That’s a math problem the system doesn’t want you to notice.
Just talked to a guy who has zero debt, max’s out his 401k every year, has 6 months of savings, never eats out, drives a 2012 Camry with 180k miles, and still feels like he’s one emergency away from disaster.
Meanwhile his coworker leases a new car every 2 years, orders DoorDash 4 times a week, and “doesn’t believe in budgeting.”
The coworker seems happier.
Something about this system is broken.
My dad just made his last mortgage payment.
He’s 66.
He took out that loan in his 30s.
30+ years of payments. Through job losses, recessions, raising 3 kids.
He called me crying. Said it didn’t feel real.
A piece of paper that took half his life to pay off.
And people wonder why older generations are so attached to “the house.”
It’s not just a house. It’s three decades of their life.
