I admire boomers. They are hard workers. They know a lot. They are the only ones of thier time who actually had kids. In other parts of the world, there is no millennial generation. I've learned a lot from boomers. One of the reasons I come to this site is boomer wisdom.
Actually, boomers were coming of age in the 70s. They dealt with high inflation and unaffordable housing. |

Basically all the boomers I know are good, decent people, and they get it. They mostly know things aren't the same and have a little bit of empathy, instead of running around spewing venom about how these damn young people are just lazy faggots who fumbled the golden goose One thing is for sure, they don't have their heads filled with rocks like some boomas on the internet. They can also do math. |

I don't know how anyone could look at how wages began to slowly decouple from productivity in the 70s then ramp up in the 90s and 2000s and not see the difference. You don't even need to factor in home health or tuition prices.

I see several boomer references to “saving and investing” or “not spending every dime you have.”
1. Sure would be cool if we could get more than 0.25% interest in a savings account during our inflationary years And 2. The stats show that boomers have no fucking idea how to save instead of spend Something I’m seeing missed/ignored is education/certification creep. I do the same job as my father (retired). When he started he needed a bachelors and a certificate (his program also had stipends and free books). I needed a masters. People coming out now have to have a doctorate. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does the 100% more for homes include the difference between +18% interest rates and the 4% ones we have now? Doing the math: Average home price in 1980 was $55,000. And that was up substantially from the 70s. So giving some benefits that way. I calculated it with an average interest rate of 13% which, is also high as the decade saw an average of 9% interest. Inflation adjusted, on a 30 year mortgage assuming you didn’t refinance it later on for a better interest rate, you’re at around $746,000 total pay off 30 years later. Doing the same math backwards: Average home price in may of 2022 is $388,000. ~259.7% inflation since 1980. That home is now worth $107,000 in 1980. 30 year loan pay off again, at todays interest rates of 5.9% for 30 year fixed. That brings us to $776,000 pay off. So yes. Home prices have statistically gone up. Also the 1980s were peak interest rates. In the 90s you saw 3-5% interest rates - which also would of been peak home buying for boomers. And 2000+ yeah… Looking forward: we all know the low interest rate train can’t last forever. We also know home prices are going to continue to sky rocket due to labor and building material costs. We also know the pay is still stagnant. We also know my comparison above isn’t right because it’s a lot harder to get your down payment - even using 10% figures - for a larger sum of money. Barrier for entry and all, is much higher for new home buyers today, than it was for boomers. Again, math. Y’all can do this yourself you know. |

Also boomer years cross a wide span so the oldest can be considered a separate cohort with it's characteristics, and the youngest, many still engaged in full time employment is a cohort with distinctive traits. It does, really, get old. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, no. Spread out, the amount being taxed goes up so the amount of taxes goes up as well. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: What is the population percentage breakdown by generation? Won't the die off of the Boomer generation cause a huge transfer and dissolution of wealth accumulations? For instance, Boomer parents with $xxxxx pass and leave that money divided equally among their 2.3 children? That has already begun. A few years ago they changed the rules for inherited IRA's so you have to cash them out in 10 years verses the rest of your life expectancy. Ironically, reducing the total amount of taxes they would collect. Quite the opposite .....most will inherit those during their prime earning years thus maximizing tax revenue. Spread out over a lifetime the taxes would be much lower. Yeah, no. Spread out, the amount being taxed goes up so the amount of taxes goes up as well. Do the math you and your spouse are in your 40's top earning potential. Mom and dad both die within 12 months of each other. You get their IRA and now have to liquidate it within 10 years while paying your current tax rates on what is most likely a 6 figure account. Or under the old rules you stretch the dispersal over your life time which allows you to grow the account and minimize the taxable events, something I am currently doing and had I had to liquidate my old mans IRA in 10 years I would have lost more than a 3rd of the account to taxes due to my wife and I's tax bracket. The mandatory minimums are not even a blip on the radar. |

Home prices have statistically gone up. Also the 1980s were peak interest rates. In the 90s you saw 3-5% interest rates - which also would of been peak home buying for boomers. And 2000+ yeah Looking forward: we all know the low interest rate train can't last forever. We also know home prices are going to continue to sky rocket due to labor and building material costs. We also know the pay is still stagnant. We also know my comparison above isn't right because it's a lot harder to get your down payment - even using 10% figures - for a larger sum of money. Barrier for entry and all, is much higher for new home buyers today, than it was for boomers. Again, math. Y'all can do this yourself you know. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: AOC supports huge spending, lots like her, same age group, plenty eager to print more, and they have HUGE support. They just passed a massive new spending bill, with huge tax increases, hiring 87000 new irs agents, open borders, and a thousand other things designed to destroy opportunities for the middle class. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Boomer here…say what you will but you he generation before us had it very easy. During my 20’s (house buying time) housing prices exploded. My dad bought and built his custom ranch house on 2 acres for under $5k. His land was $200.00 that was in 1958. My wife and I were looking at $40k houses and my dad said “wait” this crazy market will come down. 2 years later we had to spend $205k for our first house. We did not have I easier than any other generation. 80% of all dollars ever printed happened while: 1. Your generation was in charge. 2. You were at your generational peak in careers when the money printing happened. Just by that simple math, boomers had it significantly mathematically easier than any other generation. Just admit it that you looted the country for yourselves. Especially your generation politicians. AOC supports huge spending, lots like her, same age group, plenty eager to print more, and they have HUGE support. They just passed a massive new spending bill, with huge tax increases, hiring 87000 new irs agents, open borders, and a thousand other things designed to destroy opportunities for the middle class. Average age of The 117th Congress is 59 years old. Average age of a senator is 60 years old. Them be boomers in charge my dear. 7% of the 117th Congress are millennials. Approximately the same number are of the “greatest” generation. Before boomers. There’s 1 millennial in the senate. Again, you have a false narrative. This is all being driven, marketed and approved by… boomers. |
