@Reniec7 @CryptoGeorgist @Fly_Pete @isaiah_bb The actual median household income is $84k. If the median salary to purchase the median home is $110k, there is a severe disconnect between the median house price and the median home hold income.

I think it would be a really great reality tv show to take a couple dozen boomers, ideally recently retired, and give them entry level white-collar jobs in high cost of living cities and basically just saying "Go try to live."

You also don’t walk out of college or university expecting to buy a new 4 bedroom house, two cars, boats, skidoos, etc. The reason you struggle is because you aren’t willing to wait and make do like we did. Your entitlement is causing you to struggle.

@RevGroupLLC @KurtSupeCPA The daughter is 39 and hasn’t asked for money before, and the $38,000 likely works within a 4% withdrawal rate, since the parents will likely have at least $10k/month even without the $38k/year. Why shouldn’t they help their daughter? Just make parental expectations clear.

Couple comes in for their annual review. $2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track. I ask the question I ask everyone. "How is your daughter doing?" Mom's face changed first. Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained. But she's been in the same apartment for six years. Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible. Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually." I pulled up a simple chart. Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60. At 60 her own retirement is eight years away. The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close. Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way. The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child. They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications. Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter. Dad looked at his wife. "Why are we waiting?" Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

@RevGroupLLC @KurtSupeCPA You’re dead wrong. The parents have a pension, likely Social Security, and a $2.8 mil portfolio. If their pension is $2k/month and SS is $2.5k/month, they can live off of $128k/year while giving the $38k to their daughter and staying within the 4% rule on their portfolio.

@KurtSupeCPA Until Mom and Dad go broke. One of if not the biggest risk in retirement: loaning or giving money to friends and family.

@WomanDefiner This is the Curley effect. It’s NOT new. Just as Curley controlled early 20th century Boston by passing bad policy to push out his political opponents, Mamdani will push out his political opponents with bad policy to solidify his power, no matter the cost to NYC.

The exodus is the intended goal. They don't actually want to tax the wealthy, they want to drive them out and confiscate the land which will be turned into low income housing. None of you understand what they are doing. They are driving you out.
Patrick Bet-David@patrickbetdavid

Mamdani has proposed to lower the exemption on the death tax from $7.1 million to only $750k. He also wants to increase the death tax from 16% to 50%. NYC has 123 billionaires with an average age of 67 yrs old. If it passes, NYC will have a $1 trillion+ exodus in wealth.

@RebelEagleX @Retiremyass @MetamateDaz Parents have a moral obligation to create a better world for their children, which includes helping them financially into adulthood. You can do so intelligently in ways that do not create children who are leeches.

Not really. You don't build generation wealth by having whiny entitled children suck their parents teats their whole lives. Every generation should build wealth like their future depends on it. Parents certainly should provide an inheritance to children if they can, but children should not feel entitled to it. I plan to retire at a reasonable age and that plan does not involve receiving a shitload of my parent's money. If I get money from my parents it will be a bonus.

a friend’s boomer parents bought their home for $67,000 in 1993. Today, it’s worth ~$1,200,000 and he’s their only son so he thought he’d be a millionaire when they die but they just sold the house last week to enjoy their retirement 💀

@10w1nt3rmut301 @rocketpunchboy @MetamateDaz Yes, you have a moral obligation to leave money to your children. This is really basic. How can you be so selfish that you can’t even grasp the most basic of obligations? Modern ‘man’ would destroy duty at every turn, and wonder why society is without honor.

@rocketpunchboy @MetamateDaz I do not disagree, but I get to decide what to do with MY money. No one is entitled. I choose to make sure my progeny are better off than me than when I started. I take issue with claiming I am morally obligated leave money to my children.

@indexnforgetit @MetamateDaz Inheritance is critical to the survival of society. It breeds long-term thinking and a proper understanding of duty. People should expect to receive an inheritance. They should also accept the duties that come with receiving an inheritance in passing that on to their children.

🚨New: Michigan Democrat State Rep. Karen Whitsett has announced she won’t run for reelection because her Christian faith is incompatible with the Democrat Party: “For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture”

@Aris_Utensil @HarmlessYardDog Japanese and Koreans have actual functional civilizations that are worth admiring and learning from, so it’s not surprising that we don’t hate them. Eastern Asia is the only part of the world with a civilization remotely comparable to the West.

The Aristocratic Utensil@Aris_Utensil·
You're in a country made by Europeans with a largely Christian base, and you're neither of those. The wealth thing is absurd, your home nation is a disgusting cesspool. Japanese and Koreans aren't Christian or European either, and their performances are lauded, possibly because their nations aren't disgusting cesspools...
Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D.@neoavatara

The real reason is pretty simple: 1. We are Brown. 2. We mostly aren't Christian. 3. On average, Indian Americans are more educated and wealthy... Meaning there is a lot of jealousy.

@micyoung75 @politico It is an obvious fact that Islam is utterly incompatible with Western Civilization. There is 1400 years of history to prove it. To protect our civilization and way of life, we need to rid our country of Muslims.

The more I see clips of "Professor" Jiang the more they seem like comedy skits. "What they wanna do is create a uprising." Writes 'UPRISING' on the board. Says the war means Iran, the country bombing 10 other Muslim countries, "can unify the Muslim world." Writes 'UNIFY' on the board. Points to countries Iran could unite in a pax Islamica... "Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria, uhhh, these places" *waves at the Middle East.* Entire lecture is to an empty room, is not a professor.

@romanhelmetguy This guy doesn’t even have a good grasp of the basic facts of the Punic Wars. He claims that the siege of Carthage lasted ‘many, many years’. The Third Punic War lasted from 149-146 BC. He’s an idiot.
