Quote HistoryQuoted: In Ohio? Unless you have over half a million in savings there is no way you are buying a couple starter homes on the West Coast. Or any Metropolitan Area in the US for that matter. I looked at $250,000 tear down or complete gut job in DT LV just a few months ago. To my knowlege it sold to a developer. Anything remotely move in ready will be mid $350,000 to low $400,000. Even in Green Bay WI you would be hard pressed to buy a couple starter homes in $250,000 range. And that place like Ohio is literally hell on earth. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: The best part is he is unintentionally proving the point of this entire thread. 8.50/hr is 17,680 annually. He bought a house for 39k, a little over 2x that wage. Then was laid off several times and easily found comparable work. Using inflation as a benchmark which is quite generous as wages do not keep up with inflation, that same wage today is $36.33/hr or 75,566 annually. Maybe the boomers can point us to the jobs that pay 76k and houses available for <200k? In reality, that same job likely pays a fraction of the 36.33/hr in this estimate. And homes in those neighborhoods are more like 300-400k. The problem is people that think a house like this one is not good enough for them. Us boomers had no problem starting out with these and working our way up. https://www.homes.com/property/837-s-liberty-ave-alliance-oh/qy0ffyxqgq8hm/ It is very hard to find a starter home that is 1200 square feet or less. I would love a 2 or 3 bed 1 with 1 or 2 bath and a single car garage home that size. A small yard would be a bonus as far as I am concerned. It would be more than enough for my needs. They don't build homes that small anymore. You get stuck buying a condo if you want something that small. Anything that starter home size in Las Vegas does not even hit the market it will be sold overnight if it's priced decent. Realtors here literally have lists with hundreds of people looking for that exact thing. Just out of curiosity when was the last time you tried or did buy a house? I was pretty close to buying a couple of them in the last 5 years. One across the street on 3 acres that needed a complete remodel and one on an adjoining property that I bid on at auction. I stopped bidding on the one and passed on the other when I realized that I'm too old for that shit now. In Ohio?

It was about 1200 sf at the start of WWII. Post WWII it dropped back down to about 1000, And was 1300 by 1960, 1500 by 70, around 1800 in 80, 2100 in 90, etc. With increasing size driven by- believe it or not boomers, over 2200 in in 2000 and 2400 in 2010. Yeah, my first house was about the size of the starter home you posted, for the equivalent of about 350k in today’s dollars. Those exact same houses are 750K now. But yet, every boomer started or bought some 787sf home that was the “norm” for the time. And that’s total bullshit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You all Boomer Bitchers need to fall in a well. My daughter (born '93) and her friend bought a house a couple years ago in Maryland (not a cheap state to live in). Neither have College degrees and make 60k or less a year. they rented a while and saved money a while and we gave them 4k dollars, thats it. Cant afford a house? stop bitching and work harder. Move if you need to. Boomers got shit to do with it. Respect your elders. I make substantially more than $60,000 a year and would not even dream of buying a house in Maryland. I'd be intrested to see how they calculated her debt to income ratio that she would even qualify for the loan amount. To put things in perspective I carry no debt other than my mortgage. I was approved this year up to $500,000 and that does not buy you much here in Las Vegas. For most people moving an hour or two away is simply not feasible to commute. Moving to a cheaper area usually comes with taking a pay cut as there are not many good jobs available. In my case Pahrump and Laughlin both about an hour away are not that much cheaper. By the time I factor in gas, vehicle wear and tear and time lost I'd come out worse than paying more in Las Vegas. Boulder City is more expensive than Las Vegas and so on. |

I didn't make shit for money back then being in the AF and we decided to live on base instead because the community and schools where better. But I could have made some money for sure.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Here in SC we have plenty of jobs that pay 25-40/hr and many places with 1500 sq ft starter homes around 200k (or less if you're willing to DIY a fixer-upper). You might end up living in a small city without all the cool stuff you get in the $$$ places, but that's what it takes. Be glad you didn't grow up in The Great Depression and then turn 18 right before Pearl Harbor. Perspective. 60K a year is like 75th percentile income in SC. The median home price in SC is selling at over 360K. Young adults actually respect people that grew up during the Great Depression then went off to WWII. They had it harder. boomers telling young people how hard things were for that generation sound like assholes. Because that is not how it was for the boomer generation. |

I think boomers struggle to realize that the following two things can be true at the same time:
1) The success you have accomplished in your life (education, career, owning property, investments, etc) was not easy, and you should feel good about them since you worked hard for them. 2) Achieving that same level of success for people entering adulthood now is objectively not as easy as it was 40 years ago. Point #2 is an objective fact, not an opinion. Wages have not risen with inflation in that time period. However, education (which is still widely necessary for high paying jobs) has risen exponentially. Housing prices have risen exponentially. The same lifestyle that someone could enjoy on an average wage/salary in 1985 is not available to people earning an average wage/salary now. Again, this is not my opinion, this is an objective fact. If I were a boomer who loved America, democracy, capitalism, and the way that we operate as a nation, the things that resulted in defeating communism in the cold war, I'd be invested in keeping that alive for the next generation. People with money, with houses, who pay taxes, don't vote for people who want to take their money or property. There has never once been a country full of happy middle class people that decided to implement communism, it is always countries full of disillusioned poor people. But, instead, as you can see on this website, even acknowledging the reality in point #2 is somehow kryptonite to the one demographic with the most political power in this country. You can admit that things are harder for young people now than they were for you when you were that age. This does not mean that you didn't work hard for what you have now. However, ignoring the reality that it takes much, much more work to achieve the same results now is exactly why "ok boomer" is so widespread. There is no reason to ignore reality unless you have personal issues which prevent you from doing so. |

The problem is, the 25 year old with the same potential, effort, drive, and accomplishments as me 30 years ago or you forty years ago just paid proportionally two or three times as much for the same degree, or same vehicles and equipment to start a business as we did. And the same exact same home/neighorhood/schools we paid the equivalent of 300K for then is now a 650K home. Let alone that we did shit and said shit nobody gave a fuck about that will get them fired or cancelled now, We got meritocratic advancement and our time and efforts were rewarded while the get shafted for not being a gay, handicapped, person of color and see those advancements go to lesser performing individuals.

On the whole? Yes. Absolutely. The ones who are attempting to be somewhat responsible? No. There is no way that I could maintain the lifestyle of the person who also saved a substantial amount towards their retirement. All my peers drive cars that cost more than my house. I drive a 10 year old jeep or my wife's camry. The person who held my position before me lived on the golf course. Lakeside. I have a 35 year old double wide. I can't even afford a 30 year old 1500sq ft ranch on a bit of acreage without blowing up my retirement funds. But fuck me for being lazy, I guess. |

Those guys are total dipshits. The problem is, the 25 year old with the same potential, effort, drive, and accomplishments as me 30 years ago or you forty years ago just paid proportionally two or three times as much for the same degree, or same vehicles and equipment to start a business as we did. And the same exact same home/neighorhood/schools we paid the equivalent of 300K for then is now a 650K home. Let alone that we did shit and said shit nobody gave a fuck about that will get them fired or cancelled now, We got meritocratic advancement and our time and efforts were rewarded while the get shafted for not being a gay, handicapped, person of color and see those advancements go to lesser performing individuals. While their schools try to get their kids to go trans and the cops/das/judges let shit happen in their neighborhoods that would not have been stood for in our time. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I’m tired of entitled brats whining that people with 30 years more experience are earning more than them and have bigger houses than them. We’ve earned that by being successful, budgeting and saving and hard work. Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I believe in the future the history books will finally tell of the scourge that was Avacado Toast™, and how it destroyed at least 3 generations. |

OK, everyone who believes things were way easier “back then” line up here at the Time Machine: we all going back to (no internet, no computer, no smartphone, gas lines, double digit inflation, big $, big house etc.) boomer time so we can have it easy like they did!
Who’s with me…Beuler?  I guess this means we’re also going to file for social security when eligible, even though we hate it and said we never would take it…you know, do the right thing for the children. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What makes you think life was easier for me? I went to college on a scholarship. In order to keep my scholarship I had to maintain a goa of above 3.5 and I had to work for 3.35 an hour. It's so stupid to think that Boomers should work an extra job to pay for student loans. I'm one of the youngest boomers there is (born in August of 64) and I graduated from college in Im 1987. That's 37 years ago. Why do I need to be paying off student debt? Oh do you mean I should be working extra to pay for your student debt? I've got a kid in college who is supporting himself. He's working and going to school and he's earned a scholarship. He's managing to get through school without going into debt so what again is your problem? Life isn't harder today than it was 40 years ago. Life is what you make of it and it is exceptionally hard for wussies. Don't be a wussie.  Raise your hand if you didn't read the article. |

We've done the research and math. Despite the higher interest rates of the 80s, houses still cost more now. College costs more now. Jobs pay less. There are more conveniences now. Those conveniences come with extra bills too. These are the facts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @eagarminuteman i've told this story many times before but here we go.gif  i used to work with a bunch of useless jagoff b**mas who were so proud of themselves for buying their first house in 1988 five years out of college for $30k. i googled the (brand new stahtah home at the time in a decent area) house from 1988 and naturally that's a (piece of shit beat down shitbox little house in a not great area) $600k house today for... reasons. one of the useless FUPA b**mas wouldn't shut his fucking gaping cockholster so i finally snapped and asked what he was making in 1988. FUPA b**ma: $15k. so that's like me five years out of skool making $300k/yr and buying my first house for $600k. little does dumb motherfucker FUPA b**ma realize that adjusted for inflation/whateva i'm making a fraction of what he made. same guy, same qualifications, same skillsets, same company, same job. just 30-40 years later. goddamn. Calculate the Value of $15,000 in 1988 Adjusted for inflation, $15,000 in 1988 is equal to $39,872 in 2024. Internet be hard yo! |

Shit I’d do it just to be able to buy a new machine gun. Nobody born after 1965 alive today has been able to do so. |

I think the point was that homes are no longer anywhere near double someone’s annual income. In fact I think median home price is like 6-7 times the median household income. |
