Quote HistoryQuoted: You aren't making any sense at all. Millennials are 28-43 years old today. That's plenty old enough to own a multi-million dollar business, or be well established in a multimillion dollar career. Hell, it's old enough to already be Retired on a fat million dollar government pension. Millennials are the new Boomers. Pretty soon gen Z and A will be blaming you for everything. Time to Grow up and Stop making excuses. If you failed, it was Your own fault. Own it and use your remaining time as best you can. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Boomers didn't whine and worked hard to move up and get ahead to afford homes, vehicles, families, etc. The younger generations should be combined and called whiners as they blame everything on others vs. putting in the hard work to get ahead. Must be nice for boomers to grow up in a world where you have to be particularly idiotic to not secure a comfortable retirement, if not actual wealth. As a millennial, every time I turn around, the economy takes a shit and wealth is erased. Just get out there, 01 crash. Then 08. Then covid recession. Now massive inflation. Combined with there is no SS for us but yet we have to pay for it , yeah, we don't exactly have it easy. That wealth didn't really get erased. It got temporarily deflated, but if you kept your stocks and kept your house, it came roaring back 500% In fact, that's what caused all the inflation. All my millennial friends are multi-Millionairs now. You aren't making any sense at all. Millennials are 28-43 years old today. That's plenty old enough to own a multi-million dollar business, or be well established in a multimillion dollar career. Hell, it's old enough to already be Retired on a fat million dollar government pension. Millennials are the new Boomers. Pretty soon gen Z and A will be blaming you for everything. Time to Grow up and Stop making excuses. If you failed, it was Your own fault. Own it and use your remaining time as best you can. Lol man you seem so angry. I'm a millennial and I'm doing just fine, just like every millennial friend you have. Maybe I'm your friend? Clear path to wealth. Might try reading your post above. The one I quoted originally, about keeping your wealth in the market and not selling your house during the great recession. In 2007-2008. Back when millennials were mostly teenagers and had no money and no houses. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I built a 2400 sq ft custom log home in 1984. It sold and could times since but last sold for over $400,000. I bought a ranch 8 years ago and the realtor keeps bugging us he could sell it for about a million. I bet he could but this place goes to the grandchildren. My parting gift. BTW, under Carter the inflation rate was over 11%. CC interest rate was over 21%. Some were charging 29%. The variable rate for a 30-year variable home loan was over 14%. Now, I'm paying 2.75% for a fixed 30-year rate for a 241-acre ranch. Save the whining. Current average credit card rates are at 27.65% as of this last week. Inflation under Carter was high for a short period of time, then dropped off, and has been low until recently. Interest on mortgages, again, was high for a short period of time and has gotten continuously lower...until recently. You're paying that little interest rate on your mortgage because you got that rate right before they skyrocketed again. Translation: "things were difficult for a short period of time and then got continually better for decades, until recently." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The people didn’t whine in the 1930’s. Living in a shack, with dirt floors, using a bucket as a toilet, another bucket for washing, a fire pit for cooking... And living on $5.00 a month.They felt blessed they actually had a roof over their heads. They didn’t blame the people in the “Roaring 20’s” for the economy. Instead, they pulled up their bootstraps and dug ditches, doing the dirty jobs, 90% of our current generations would be horrified to consider. We were taught, work hard. We were taught how to make and do, almost everything by hand. There weren’t any convince stores, big box stores, just maybe a general store. Our family didn’t have electricity or running water (hand pump). We were taught to ‘buck it up’. If you wanted something, you found a way to WORK for it. Gardening for food, a couple cows, a couple chickens, and that was it. We preserved our food using a wood stove….. chopping wood, milking, collecting eggs, cleaning the barn were everyday chores…. Then, we walked 1/2 mile to catch the bus for school. I’ve lived on the streets, but, decided I wasn’t quitting. I earned every single thing I have, the hard way. No one gave me anything. So….quit whining, get off your butt and do what you need to do to make life better for yourself. While times were tough and your family had it hard, they had the right attitude. That said, many did not. The DID blame the rich and the government. So much so that right after the Great Depression started, the United States was toying with full on socialism. People HATED anyone slightly better off than them. Bonnie and Clyde were folk heroes killing cops and robbing banks sticking it to The Man. The Greatest Generation while American Patriots, were not blind to the economic free fall that was the 1930s. This photo shows what was also happening in 1930s America.

A guy I know in my church was complaining about how low pay, expensive homes in the area, though they aren't, and no opportunity. He mentioned he got a degree in culinary arts. I said there is little opportunity because this is a 5300 population town Denny's skill level is the best job you are gonna find here and that job is taken by an illegal. Why not move in? Oh, I can't do that, The kids would have a fit. I replied, "Would they prefer to eat?" It was one excuse after another. The truth was he was just a Lazy bum that had no interest in doing what it took to better his life and that of his family. Hiis wife is Korean and made about a $90,000 as a translator. Their oldest son finally graduated and wanted to move back to South Korea to teach English. A year later they are all in S.Korea living in their son's apartment with his girlfriend who is 6 years older and thinking she was marrying an American and moving to the Land of Opportunity. ROFL

Quote HistoryQuoted: Current average credit card rates are at 27.65% as of this last week. Inflation under Carter was high for a short period of time, then dropped off, and has been low until recently. Interest on mortgages, again, was high for a short period of time and has gotten continuously lower...until recently. You're paying that little interest rate on your mortgage because you got that rate right before they skyrocketed again. Translation: "things were difficult for a short period of time and then got continually better for decades, until recently." Things got better after Carter because Reagan got elected. It wasn't that short of a time. That is the point. Don't use credit cards. I haven't used one in over 30 years. I have no debt except the mortgage. I was able to get such a low rate because my credit score was over 812. To the bank, I was a low, low risk. It pays to manage your money than to let your money manage you. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Funny that I thought a house was an investment, not an expense. View it however you want. Just don’t spew bullshit like, “household income has risen to match housing prices” when it’s quite easy to prove that isn’t true. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: While times were tough and your family had it hard, they had the right attitude. That said, many did not. The DID blame the rich and the government. So much so that right after the Great Depression started, the United States was toying with full on socialism. People HATED anyone slightly better off than them. Bonnie and Clyde were folk heroes killing cops and robbing banks sticking it to The Man. The Greatest Generation while American Patriots, were not blind to the economic free fall that was the 1930s. This photo shows what was also happening in 1930s America. https://www.versobooks.com/cdn/shop/articles/960x540FullSizeRender-8.jpg The commies also infiltrated the Bonus Army and that ended badly for the stupid people who got caught up in it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess they weren’t satisfied dividing the country by political parties and race, so now this bullshit. Exactly. It is ALWAYS someone else's fault. "You are a victim", so blame the boogie-man of the day that we tell you to blame. Not the Gen Whatever, not the teachers who don't teach, not the "harmless" drugs, not the votes for any Dem or RINO who in turn voted for $32T in debt, $2T more per year now, not the ones who "what good would it do" didn't vote, not the social media billionaires who are only giving kids what they want - we have no ulterior motives, not the Soros/Obama/Gates cabal who want to destroy the US, it is everyone's but YOUR fault. And as long as the gens are at each other's throats, the politicians and their cronies can get richer and richer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Things got better after Carter because Reagan got elected. It wasn't that short of a time. That is the point. Don't use credit cards. I haven't used one in over 30 years. I have no debt except the mortgage. I was able to get such a low rate because my credit score was over 812. To the bank, I was a low, low risk. It pays to manage your money than to let your money manage you. Brb some avocado toast is crying in agony. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: fudge. now i need one of those too. how dat ratcheting mechanism hold up in the deep, dark, cold, wet environs of the coal mining world? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Actually no, the ratcheting version is better. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-11-in-1-Ratcheting-Impact-Multi-Bit-Screwdriver-with-Universal-Handle-32500HDRT/325798503 https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/8a51990f-e26c-4dfd-a595-d9e3deed194c/svn/klein-tools-electrical-screwdrivers-nut-drivers-32500hdrt-64_600.jpg now i need one of those too. how dat ratcheting mechanism hold up in the deep, dark, cold, wet environs of the coal mining world? No idea, only recently got mine, but the mechanism is the smoothest of any one I've ever owned. It's also impact rated so I imagine is pretty robust. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: cot dayum millennials just need to load up the 1987 ferd astro van and boostrap over to itchycunt nebraska where a 100 year old piece o shit stahtah home is $50k and the only employment in a 150 mile radius is assistant shift manager at dollar general that pays $25k/yr. If anyone bothered to do their homework, they would have known to scratch that one off the job-hunting list. Duh! Let the SF homeless have it. |

I love these threads, if the poors would spend less time complaining and more time working hard they wouldn’t have to be the eternal renters that they are. Make better choices and quit blaming everyone else for your failures.
