DO NOT invite me to housewarming parties, weddings, baby showers, graduations, etc... if you don’t include me in cookouts, coffee breaks, movie dates, girls night or any other gatherings. it’s so offensive to think someone wants to dish out money on your life milestones without actually including them in your life progressions.
I’ll never understand when you say “I’m sorry” to express condolences to someone about bad news they shared with you then they go “it’s not your fault”
Like ok Good Will Hunting I’m not saying I killed your grandmother I am sorry that she died. What are you hoping to achieve
shoot me but I don’t think 55+ communities should exist.
55+ buildings, fine. nursing/retirement homes, sure. but boomers have cordoned off entire gated villages on some of the best real estate in the world where they just trade houses with each other at insane discounts.
I’ve seen 2 bed-2 bath waterfront homes for under $100,000. 2% financing. $5000 down payments. And you’re not allowed to have any of it because you’re not old.
Boomers created these spaces to escape the consequences of the world they helped create. We are left to fight for their hyperinflated scraps on the outside while they live in curated microcosms of the 1980s.
I’m not saying these communities HOA’s can’t be extremely selective about who they let in, but I don’t think a young professional with good references should be shut out simply because of their age.
Seize the 55+ neighborhoods.
