@SandyofSuffolk @LambentLucien Then why do feel the need to tell us our material circumstances you dumb bitch.

@LambentLucien How the fuck do you know what my material circumstances were you stupid arse? Are you fucking Mystic Meg? No. You're just a cunt.

Just so you know. Boomers didn't have fast food. Except fish and chips. Boomers didn't have ready meals. Except Vesta beef curry. Look it up. Boomers didn't have colour TVs, front loading washing machines, central heating or holidays abroad. Boomers didn't have babymoons or baby showers nor did they go on stag or hen weekends. Boomers didn't go to restaurants. Except on birthdays. Boomers didn't have new clothes every year, every season. They made do and mended. But Boomers had a fabulous time in the 1960s to 1980s because people were friendly, respectful, dignified and hardworking. Boomers also had law and order and a judiciary who punished ALL criminals. Boomers were happy with their lot. Yes. I'm a Boomer. Just so you know.

@pdoherty972 @an66195253 @ManitobaSAO We can't even spend money to get drunk now.

Just sounds like a prediction designed to make everything seem hopeless so he (and people who buy it) have an excuse to spend like drunken sailors. Fact is, if you exercise some delayed gratification and save/invest aggressively you'll still be far better off even if his prediction came to pass. It's the "shoot for the stars and even if you fail you still reach the moon" sort of thing.

The boomer vs zoomer money debate can be boiled down to two competing principals that are exclusive to their reality of origin. The boomer can’t process the logic of a $28 lunch when you don’t even own a house or car. Why? Because their reality is one with a future. They see the zoomer as able to differ those lunches and leverage that deferment into a new home… and in the boomer’s reality, this does and has worked. The zoomer can’t explain the rational of a $28 lunch while being a paycheque to paycheque brokie. Why? Because the zoomer has no future. Recall “You’ll own nothing and like it.”??. A down payment is a decade of lunches, not a year of lunches. If houses are still legally tradable after that decade! A $28 lunch isn’t THAT fancy, but is better than fast food, that’s only marginally cheaper… and in the zoomers reality, a good lunch today is worth more than a fake house in never never land in a tomorrow they’ve been expressly told they will not have.

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway My graduating class was 90% indian. There are far too many foreigners in this country

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Immigration isn't the cause of this at all it is just regulation. Financing plays a part but reducing interest rates right now would make things worse not better we should also increase property taxes. You have been lied to about the solution

My grandpa bought a used Chevy Nova for my dad in high school for $1500 in 1978. I am willing to live like boomers in their 20s — I am willing to have affordable muscle cars and pay $300 for university tuition.

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway So I get the piece of shit cars, and boomers get mustangs for summer work?

@MonHerry228452 @FilosoferRaptor @Bobbythirdway You can still buy a car with a summer job. I'm just like back then it will be a beat up little piece of shit. Education has gotten more expensive but it's still very affordable you just take out loans and it pays for itself it used to be that you couldn't get into college and now

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Really, gas is cheaper? Groceries are cheaper? Cars are cheaper? Insurance is cheaper? Healthcare is cheaper? Childcare is cheaper?

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway But otherwise everything else has gotten cheaper in fact it's still ends up with average expenditures being about the same it's just housing has eaten into what should have been the growth in disposable income the problem is that it is the same stop looking to the past

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Dude its way worse than "Deregulation". We need more than 50% of all foreigners to leave, we need 3% interest rates back, and home prices to crash by 50 to 75%

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Oh yes housing has gotten more expensive most other things haven't the solution to housing is deregulation and we are already making movement on that front.

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway They could afford a home that was 3-4 times their yearly salary, where's its now 7 to 9 times their yearly salary. So yes I am comparing it. Cost of living has completely destroyed Gen Z, something you still cannot understand you dumb fuck

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Oh unfortunately you're doing a double retarded thing here first of all 17,000 is the median household income

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway The median income for Gen Z entering the workforce is $38,000 you retarded fuck. Which is what we are comparing to boomers when they first started entering the workforce in the 1970s. So everything is not fine you idiotic bitch.

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Okay well the median income today is approaching $90,000. So yes if either works then everything is fucking fine you idiotic bitch

@pdoherty972 @ManitobaSAO Hes saying the delayed gratification will never come because when we get there we still can't buy shit.

@ManitobaSAO That's a rather long-winded way to rationalize spending money rather than exercising delayed gratification/willpower/sacrifice.

@iam_shwa @ArmchairQB69 20 a day is close to 600 dollars a month. I highly doubt anyone is able to save 600 dollars in this fucking economy under 40 years old.

@ArmchairQB69 I ran it off a month my b But still 50k is life changing for most Americans

If you invest $20 a day into a mutual fund or index fund that averages 10% returns after 5 years you could have 100-400k So yes it actually is a big reason you're broke

@Painefulfacts @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway Hey dumb fuck, either works

@FilosoferRaptor @MonHerry228452 @Bobbythirdway You can either have these things cost that much or you can have $90,000 today.

@ClayHorshimer13 @Schmutz_7R Boomers make up over 50% of housing market, selling to themselves majority of the time. Everyone younger than you are telling you their circumstances are shit just like mine

@FilosoferRaptor @Schmutz_7R Your circumstances don't define everyone else.

They also like to ask why Gen Z isn’t going out drinking. Good luck having a fun night at the bar for $28. The problem with all this rhetoric is that it blames young people for doing basic things humans have always done (like grab lunch) rather than live like monks/penny-pinchers

@AvDebateEnjoyer @Bobbythirdway No we fucking don't

@Bobbythirdway We pay less out of our income for cars now than then….

@MonHerry228452 @Painefulfacts @Bobbythirdway I sure am willing to make 90k today, wonder if he will respond back

@Painefulfacts @Bobbythirdway 17k in 1978 is 90k today accounting for inflation

@He33133Hector @Bobbythirdway Are you retarded? He listed the price paid which was not "shelling out".

@Bobbythirdway That means your Grandpa shelled out money when he bought that car in 1978. My parents bought me a car in the early 90's for 700 bucks that I was embarrassed to drive.

@ClayHorshimer13 @Schmutz_7R Yeah maybe 8 years ago when gas was close to $1.75 a gallon. So absolutely right wrong place, wrong time

@FilosoferRaptor @Schmutz_7R Wrong place, wrong time, I guess. A lot of young people are able to save money without spending it all on gas.

@ClayHorshimer13 @Schmutz_7R Nope my option is to save aggressively and see it wiped out because gas is $5 a gallon. Because groceries have gone up by around 70%. My option is to see everyone around me move in with parents because the blacks and browns immigrating here get free housing at our expense.

@FilosoferRaptor @Schmutz_7R So your only option is to complain on X.

@scotty4x41313 @punishedAatrox @RefinedPopulist @namente9715 Your generation sold us out retard. So yes it wasn't an option to give up because you gave us up instead

@punishedAatrox @RefinedPopulist @namente9715 Guess you should just give up then. That was not an option for my generation, we survived. Your generation is doomed if it continues with your type of attitude. Oh well, if you don't make it, all I can say is......

It's tough for Gen Z, but not impossible. It becomes impossible when you spend: >$100/week on groceries you trash >$10/day on coffee >$20/day on work lunch >$200/week on off-hours food/entertainment That's $450/week, $1.8k/month, $23.4K/yr. In 4 years there’s your down payment!

@cys_simon @KSSTH20 @Karai_Dan @Jason371123537 The entitlement of wanting an economy equal to the boomers is absolutely what I want.

@KSSTH20 @Karai_Dan @Jason371123537 This. Right here. The entitlement is off the chain. Boo fucking hoo. You know you can also freeze leftovers in serving portions and eat them later right? Oh wait… Effort! No can-do.

So I guess the easiest way to piss off American zoomers is to tell them it’s cheaper to meal prep than eat at restaurants or order delivery. The amount of crashouts I’ve seen today is mind boggling and a little worrying. I hope young Americans aren’t this helpless IRL.

@4nt1p4tt3rn @Docsthrowaway @WolfshadeTact Hope you get killed by the black nurses at a nursing home in the next 10 years.

@Docsthrowaway @WolfshadeTact Try not to edge too much with that mental image in your head. You might miss your Uber Eats delivery.

Close all the restaurants and fast food places for two months. Remove all prepared, pre-made foods, frozen and otherwise, from the stores. The youngsters will either learn to cook, or starve to death. Either way, they'll've shut up about how $28 lunches are why they can't get ahead.
