Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok boomer I'm genx. Just replaced the battery in iphone 7. Was told that was stupid by millenial because iphone 12 had way better camera and was faster. Iphone 7 isn't slow and camera is fine for what I use it for. Spending $1200 every 2 years on the latest iphone adds up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Has anyone mentioned that the vast majority of people are financially stupid?? Ask around your job. People dont know; ....how the tax brackets work ....how large tax returns are not ideal ....how health insurance hsa and fsa accounts work ....401k vs regular stock accounts much less the difference between Roth and traditional tax implications ....how to read their paycheck except the net amount ....etc... But they can tell you all about video games, sports, weed, next item to make their honda faster.....  That's 95% of the working population. Boomers included. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers started working at what.... 12? Ask these millenials how early they started working. Hell, I'm not even a boomer, and I mowed lawns and had other part-time jobs at 13 or 14. Gosh, when I was in college, I met people 2 years into it that still hadn't even decided what they wanted to study, let alone what field they wanted to work in. Also, ask them what jobs they've taken to further their career. Not as a job, but as a career. I've always looked at jobs not just as "What does this pay?", but "Where can this take me in my career?". I know a bunch of people that took jobs just to have jobs. Sure, it gave them a paycheck... but it didn't further them in any way. Years back, my wife and I had some friends who pulled the "I wish we could have a job that pays like your husband's, and we could have nice things like you" on us. I smiled and told them "When you're 20 years into your career like I am, I'm sure you will." They were utterly flabbergasted... they had no idea how someone my age at the time could have 20 years in their career. They see a career as something you start after college, but I was started in my career well before I even went to college. That's not to cast negativity on the entire generation... I know some millenials that make some awfully good money. They just took their career seriously, whether that was through experience, education, or both. Im an old Millennial. i started picking strawberries in Fresno CA at 15. Did it for two years before i got a "promotion" pulling 30 year old carpet out of office buildings. There are no careers outside of the public sector left in the US. And all the boomers want to pay horrible wages and expect applicants to be extremely over qualified. They have no desire to train. Im lucky, as i saved nearly everything i made for two decades, and made all of my real money buying, living in while fixing, and then selling homes. I have a fully paid off home, no mortgage, no debt, and i have never made more that $40k a year in salary. I also have a wife and 4 kids to support. It has been a grind, and i dont have a lot of things, but i have what i need, and consider myself very blessed.. But i can tell you, it was not easy to get to where i am. Lots of Millennials are grinding just the same, and most save a larger portion of their income than the boomer generation ever has, even at low and stagnant wages. |

I'd charge 2 or 3 bucks a lawn. [postage stamp size] Hard work but damn good money for the very early 70's. I have NEVER had a kid ask to mow my lawn as an adult even when I lived in a subdivision my entire adult life and I'm pushing 60. Even shoveling a drive, nope, never been asked. Used to do it all the time as a kid. [I'd rather mow lawns  ]That's funny, did the same thing as a kid and made good money. But I wondered that same thing too. I've never as an adult had a kid knock on my door and ask to now the lawn. Maybe because today mommy thinks it's too dangerous for their kids to operate a lawn mower. Hell I'd pay a kid before I would a lawn service. So I just bought my first riding mower at 59  |

Remember, poorer often means "wealth" not "income".
1. Lower wealth because there is less saving, or less home ownership by Millennials. 2. Lower incomes because they have acquired fewer skills or the education they got was less likely to make them productive. 3. Millennials are much more likely to be racial minorities, who are on average have lower amounts of wealth, and less education and skills. 4. Millennials have been voting for a poor economy since they started voting. They vote for sending jobs to China and quantitative easing. They vote for the policies which make homeownership difficult and expensive. They vote for Karen policies which make the economy run less efficiently, which lowers wages and returns. |

The generation before us sold us out. It wasn't intentional on an individual level it was government subversion and good intentions.
Pick whatever metric you want but either by accepting a massive influx of immigrants from third world countries, increasing the welfare state, poor parenting, or by the outsourcing of manufacturing for cheap electronics and plastic shit. Either way through globalization your chances of upward mobility have been greatly diminished. If you want success you need to be smarter and work harder. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Wrong I did not advise anyone nor did I listen to my parent. Again you fall into that whining a as category that blames others for being a failure in life because your unable to accept responsibility for your actions. It's always easier to blame someone else when you suck at life. That's a lot of insults you're throwing around without any factual standing. Boomers, as a generation, like to complain about Millennials having gone into debt to go to college and get frivolous degrees. Do you ever think about how that happened? It is known and documented that there was a huge push, from the 90s/2000s onwards, to convince kids to go to college at any cost. Anecdotally, I can confirm I was in high school in the mid-2000s, and my school actually had boomers come in to the classroom just to give us presentations on why we ABSOLUTELY MUST go to college. They showed us graphs about how people who never went to college only make X amount of money, whereas people who graduated college, regardless of their major, averaged a much higher amount of money. They showed us graphs about how unemployment rates were always higher among people who did not go to college. The entire public schooling institution in that era was based around pressuring kids as hard as possible to go to college, no matter the cost, no matter the major. Impressionable young kids who didn't yet have a fully-developed sense of personal responsibility and right-or-wrong. They were all being told they MUST go to college, and their choice of major does not matter--they simply MUST go to college. They told us we can take out loans, and it didn't matter, because our higher salaries meant we'd be able to pay them off. Again, this is when we were mere teenagers, too young to know some of the harsh realities of the world. Boomers did that to us. Now that Boomers are starting to age out of public school administration and Gen X'ers and even older Millennials are starting to take over, those policies have been backed off, and college is no longer being pushed as the end-all/be-all. The damage that Boomers have done on that front is being slowly reversed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The boomers sold us out to China and India and invested the huge wealth they inherited from their parents over seas. They could have chosen central and south America even, and could have still prospered immensely and the western hemisphere would be as close to paradise as it gets. We wouldn't have people beating at the border, they would be thriving. Instead they chose to sell Americas future to the commies for a few extra pennies. The ones that actually have businesses here bitch about paying someone a livable wage and expect applicants to have a degree in rocket science to work the counter for their rental car business. They have 0 desire to train employees, and blame the applicants for not having experience. Im at the oldest end for Millennials. The younger ones have it a lot worse than i had it. I was lucky enough to grind and make it on my own, but according to boomers on GD, im still considered one of the poors. I have nothing to complain about. I live a happy life, and have everything i need. But there are gonna be a lot of younger people than me struggleing into the future. Yup. Blue collar jobs were outsourced to China, Mexico, India. White collar jobs were opened up to H1B foreigners. No industry was safe from the Boomers trying to sell out this country for personal gain. There are perfectly skilled Americans who are unemployed right now and trying to find jobs, while foreigners are here on H1B visas sucking up many of the skilled white-collar jobs here. These are all policies the Boomers created. But sure, go on and keep whining about how it's not fair that Millennials like to pay $15 a month for Netflix. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers can't even save for retirement correctly, so they stay in the workplace...at the age of 60....helping to close the job market to new people. You do realize that in the past 50 years, age 62 was the average for people to retire at correct? And some Z-boy or M-girl isn't owed their position anyways simply based on age. I'd bet divorce keeps a whole lot of people working later in life then a lot of other things save for health insurance costs. I know a ton of guys still working because their retirement wealth got cut by a huge amount due to a divorce or two. Keep giving away a portion of your earnings, goods, and retirement away a couple of times and you'll be dragging your ass to work too when you'd rather be retired. This site by itself probably has a bunch of them. |

People probably dont ask him because they dont feel like dealing with him, as its not worth the 2 dollars an hour he is willing to pay. Btw I meant trailors not traitors this stupid pad I'm using is all screwed up as far as spell check and auto correct. My sister got it for one year. Never used till now. I use a Samsung pad.

Ahhh, The good ol' generation against generation GD thread in which everyone shrieks their hatred for every other generation only pausing to shit in their hand and fling it like a retarded Chimpanzee.
You fucking idiots are entertaining as hell.

1984 checking in.
Homeowner, with no credit card debt, three paid off vehicles, and a job that offers a pension. Just 24 years to go to retirement... Wife is 1985 and still has student loans, but she also owns her own business. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers can't even save for retirement correctly, so they stay in the workplace...at the age of 60....helping to close the job market to new people. And here it is. I was waiting for some loser to post this drival. Who the hell are you to dictate who works and who does not. Let me tell you. Your nobody after using that line as an excuse for being a failure in life. Here you are......I can't work because boomers won't retire. Wahhhhh. What a damn joke. But one excuse for not working is as good as the other I guess. |

Wife and I got married at 18, moved out and got our own cheap apartment in 1982 while the Reagan recovery from Carter was still raging. High unemployment, hyper inflation and low wages. My first real full time job was $3.00 an hour washing dishes. Wife got a job at a nursing home for about the same. We had no money.
We used to cruise on "garbage nights" (in my $100 car I learned to keep running) the nice neighborhoods for furnishings, lamps, en-tables... couches all came from this. I recall it being so bad us going to McDonald's to steal toilet paper cause we had no money to buy our own. Took change from the towns fountain at 1am (waded in) for an extra couple of bucks a few of times. In time we both built/earned decent good paying jobs bought houses cars and paid them off by combining our incomes. We waited to have a kids till we got a decent house in the country. Point is we paid our dues....dues that most younger people would never take on because they were too hard. Now we are about to retire debt free with pensions 401K's, etc. Most younger people will not make the commitment to marriage let alone moving out of their parents homes or suffering without no money. I could instead complain how the generation before me made it bad for me, but instead made it work over time and built a decent life and a good family from the hardship. Same as those who survive the depression. Life and times has its ups and downs..its up to you to make it happen. Still married to her (39 years) and we made a great life, great kids and appreciate things more because of the hard times. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Avocados cost like 75 cents a piece. Do you seriously believe millennials are in worse financial shape because they eat something for breakfast every day that costs ~$270 per year?

But one excuse for not working is as good as the other I guess. Work as long as you want/need to. Thats not the point. If you stick your kids with funeral costs, have no end of life planning because your terrified of your own mortality, leave them to deal with your 30 year mortgage on a 500k house that will never sell for half of what you owe, have said house full of junk that you think is worth billions on ebay, etc., Your an asshole. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's because they don't hear anything... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My wife's granddaughter is a genx and she is pretty smart. She chose a reccession proof career too. She went to school to be a mortician and just passed her state exam. Been working for over a year now. Making great money too. But she some how knew what she wanted to be even at a young age, go figure. How many kids say they want to work on deaf bodies lol It's because they don't hear anything... That's for sure and they don't complain either |

They should all do what their older relatives did. Get out of high school, skip college debt, and go get a job at the local manufacturing plant with good pay and a tax deferred retirement investment plan.
