[Kerfer88]

And now we get to pay for their healthcare and retirement through Obamacare and SS taxing. Neither of which you will ever get to reap the benefits of.

In fact, we won't make a fraction of what they've made over their lifetime.

Thanks Obama!

[iradumass]

fuk dem babyboomers yo

they dry us up and leave us with nuttin

fuk the world

[TeddyAtlus]

love my parents but just gonna say in general baby boomers were chitty ass parents, including mine.

[Baylorballs]

depends on what subject they're refering to.

I'm 32 so i've seen the years before cell phones / internet .. and after. IT's a different world as far as how easy it is to access and get info, communicate, etc.
Plus advancements and safety and various other things have made huge differences in just the past 20 years.


on the other hadn youre right about current difficulty to get a job, but you can't expect to be millionaire in your 20s. you work your way up.

They were pretty much all hippies that had everything handed to them and f*cked up the whole economy, and then they wonder why their kids aren't moving out at 18 like they did

Bill Gates recently spoke about how bleak the future is for our generation.

He foresees massive unemployment and social unrest unless gov't makes major changes in how they deal with corporations.

The French model is not the way forward basically.

We need to go full on corporatist.

[ThinkAboutThis]

The real struggle may be the "no wife material"... Or perhaps I'm just looking/being in the wrong places!

Back then you could literally get a job as soon as you graduated hs and buy a house a few years later with your own money

Good luck doing that now. I don't see how IT makes life easier if you can't afford to buy it in the first place

Lettuce be real tea, the future will be the 1% living in wealth and luxury while the rest live in slums fighting over food scraps (srs).

[Kay4Kool]

i usually don't like the chit that you post

but im in agreement

[SquallFF8]

Yeah talking to them about the economy, society, the current generation of women is worthless because all they know is their own experience and most are ignorant to believe that much has changed. It is quite annoying.

[ArryRedknapp]

True. It's sort of the inevitable progression of specialization of labor, privatization and technological advancement.

We hit a sweet spot in the 90s.

"Elysium" or more comically RoboCop is honestly something like what you can expect.

We have better technology, access to information, convenience, etc. and general living standards are much better for us. What you can do as a kid these days is much better than what they could do.

Becoming successful in terms of the whole get a graduate job, house, marriage and 2.4 children thing? Naaat so much.

[FunnyWeasel]

^this. Livin in the 50s was simple then they make complicated than it needs to be

So you're fine with living in a shoe box alone your whole life?

[bigdogfarmhand]

I dont khow old u r but they didn't have it any better.

They had to work hard

And the problem with our generation is we want what it took out parents 30 years to get at 20. That's what brought on all out debt

No what brought on all the debt was stupidly high tuition fees and lack of employment. You're acting like kids are taking out $20k bank loans just to buy cars and shyt

Interest rates were high since real estate was generally alot less expensive back then, the unemployment partly contributed also. Stop being so narrow minded, I'm a realtor and a mortgage broker so I know house housing markets work. Its still alot worse now than it was 30yrs ago. Good luck even getting a mortgage these days unless your ballin or have a dual income. Not to mention you were pretty much guaranteed a job with a degree back then, good luck finding employment even with a masters these days

Age: 37

Yea that explains alot, gtfo

[UrOneitisFartss]

We are the most fukked generation (birthdate 1985-present)

Difficult to get a good job even with a solid degree (wtf)

Recession

Utterly rampant liberalism, feminism and bullchit trends like "fat positivists"

Social media doing more harm than good imo, everyone staring at their phones and Bishes whoring themselves out for instagram followers

Sloots be slooting at an astronomical rate



Not to mention we will probably experience total societal collapse in our lifetimes, peak oil, possible resource wars.

But at least we have the misc

[LaCosaNostra90]

Dad bought his first house (brand new) at 22 years old for 2 years salary. He was a carpenter which for arguments sake is average salary.

THE EXACT SAME HOUSE sold in 2011 for 450k which is 9 years average salary.

This is honestly the reason why I'm probably not having kids. I don't see it getting any better in the next 100yrs

brb social media/feminism has ruined women

These two are the worst.

Don't even bother brother, 20 or so years down the road you won't be able to feed them anyway.

[Mattash2g]

What babyboomer actually says that? Every one I've ever met has said it's much harder for people nowadays. Anyone with half a fukin brain could tell you that.
Salaries barely increase while EVERYTHING else does, sometimes by a few hundred percent for everyday things? pls tell me how anyone could claim it was easier?

You're a realtor AND a mortgage broker? STFU! That's amazing. not srs.

You ARE A FUKKING MORON if you think that mortgage rates were high because "real estate was less expensive" and "unemployment partly contributed". You obviously didn't pay attention in history class when they taught about a decade called the 70s, the rescession during the early 80s, stagflation, Vocker's term at the Federal Reserve, etc.

Look at Case Shiller:



Notice how we're pretty much at the same level of affordability now as we have been for decades?


Also, while you may have been "guaranteed a job with a degree", there were a lot fewer people with degrees, so on average you weren't actually any worse off. And unemployment was significantly higher.

As to what my age explains, it explains this: 1) I'm not a baby boomer 2) I'm not some cry baby who thinks that because they're a real estate agent and a mortgage broker that they know jack -- try having a career that actually requires a college degree, or perhaps a masters. 3) I hit the family and household formation point at probably the worst time possbile: the height of the housing bubble -- am I whining and blaming another generation? No, because I'm not a little BISH.
