We bought our first house in Santa Barbara for $85,000.
Didn’t feel “easy” at the time either.
You just made it work 👍 🇺🇸

@skumWgmi Wrong. You didn’t buy a house because you ate too many avocado toasts 🥑🤌😎🤛👏🇺🇸🇺🇸

The greatest trick the Boomer economy pulled was making structural failure look like personal failure.
You didn't buy a house because you lack discipline.
You didn't build wealth because you lack sacrifice.
You didn't retire comfortably because you lack responsibility.
None of that is true.
The game changed.
The goalpost moved.
The ladder was sold.
And somehow the generation that sold it is still writing the op-eds about why you can't climb.

@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. 🥑😎🤡💪💪🇺🇸🚢⚓️

Another boomer who failed to learn the ways. Doordash driver? Should be on her fifth cruise of the year by now. 😎🇺🇸💪🚢⚓️⚓️⚓️🇺🇸🇺🇸

DOORDASH HITS THE OVAL OFFICE. 🍟 $11,000 refund DELIVERED — all thanks to No Tax on Tips! Millions of drivers across America are leveling up this tax season. 💸

@RapidResponse47 Yes, yes! It is most definitely the boomers who need the most tax breaks! Can I write off our fourth summer home now??? 🇺🇸🥑🤑😎💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Working Families Tax Cuts Act means "more money for senior taxpayers this year... They will be owing less than they anticipated or they will be getting a refund — or maybe even a larger refund than they would previously get."

@UziCryptoo Uzi - did you also cancel your avocado toast? 🥑🤑🤑🤑😎💪

My boomer mom’s house appreciated $600,000 in 22 years.
She didn’t invest. She didn’t grind. She didn’t “build multiple income streams.”
She just bought a house in 1998 and waited.
Last week she sent me a Dave Ramsey video about cutting subscriptions.
I cancelled Netflix.
My rent went up $300 the same week.

Lower the listing price?!? But how will Linda and I afford our 6-month trip to Tuscany???? 🇮🇹🍕🍝🤌🤌🤌

Just a Dude Who Invests@DudeWhoInvests
Boomers then they realize the only solution to selling their ridiculously overpriced home is actually lowering the price…

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. 🚢🚢⚓️🤑🤑🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤯

“I worked my WHOLE life. 36 YEARS. Paid taxes EVERY single year.” Outside the Social Security office, she’s trying to understand why her check is only $876 a month. “After a lifetime of work… this is all I get? Meanwhile, billions are sent to ILLEGALS who never paid a dime.”

@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. 🤑🤑🇺🇸🇺🇸🚢🚢🚢⚓️

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. 🍇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☠️😟

John Stossel proposes that we are all wrong. He says it wasn't all wonderful back in the 1950s and 60s. “Once, 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.

@antibearthesis Actually, we sold ours for $5.2 million and it only cost $10 + 3 bananas. Try not to make wide-sweeping generalizations, son. 🤯🤑🤑🤑🥑🍌🇺🇸

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

@Rothmus Why do you retards always forget the avocado toast??? 💪👏🥑🥑🥑🫠🤞🙏👍🇺🇸

@joedirt501 Joe Dirt - maybe you should get a better job instead of blaming boomers. Being a janitor can’t pay well. 👏😎💪🤞👏🙏🤣🥑🇺🇸👍

But would you want a 6,500 sq ft boomer house, son? 🫨🤞👏👍🇺🇸🤛🙏🫶🙄🥑
Jon Brooks@jonbrooks
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.

“Hey look at this house we bought for 100k in 1990 on our 60k salary that’s now worth over a million”
Also those same people
“You younger generations don’t work hard and don’t appreciate anything. What do you mean you can’t buy a 1 million dollar house on your 70k salary in 2026?”

@BitcoinSapiens Why would we want our kids to have a better life? They show no appreciation for all that we've given and done for them.😎🙏👏🏡😤💵🥑🇺🇸

Trump admitted that if he does anything for younger people on housing, boomers in five bedroom houses will revolt because their 1000% appreciation will decrease slightly.
The only generation who doesn’t want their kids to have a better life than they had.
