Quote HistoryQuoted: A simple savings account that outpaced inflation is something most Millennials and all Zoomers will have never experienced. Well it didn't outpace inflation at that time. And I hope Millenials and Zoomers never have to deal with 15-18% rates for mortgages... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sure would be nice to actually get interest at all on savings accounts. 0.1%-0.5% for many years now. My father tells me stories about using interest from his savings account to make his car payment when he was in his early 20s. I have a decent chunk of cash saved. I can't even imagine getting double digit interest on it. I really can't. We didn't get double digit interest on savings. My memory on the subject only goes back to the early-mid 1970s and the best we did was 5%. |

If we keep going down the road we're currently going, we're going to end up with full blown socialism and everything that entails. And when that happens, a significant amount of the blame will fall on the shoulders of conservatives (predominantly boomers) who offered no solutions to our economic issues and even went so far as to pretend they didn't exist. I hate Bernie and AOC just as much as everyone else here, but I also recognize that their popularity didn't happen for no reason.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's always amazed me that old homes keep pace with new homes, when new homes are 100x better than the even 15 years ago. We had a 2100sqft 4/2 built in 2003, average electricity bill was about $175. Built a new home in 2015, radiant barrier, better insulation, better windows, etc etc, 2 story, 3400sqft 5/3.5 average electricity bill... $100. All because of advancements in building technique/technology. But people/realtors will comp out a 50yo home with a brand new home and use the same $/sqft and some reason idiots keep buying them at those prices. The price difference almost paid for itself with difference of utilities. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: God damn. I can get ~3,500 sqft of fourplex for ~300k in my area. Not in a bad part of my town either, since it's close to the local community college and near shopping and dining. The housing market is bonkers in some areas right now. Like I said earlier in the thread: My (now ex-wife) and I bought a 2,400 sqft 2-story home built in the late 1990s on a quarter-acre in a nice subdivision in 2013 for $210k. Sold it in early 2017 for $212.5k. Now it is 'worth' about $340k according to Zillow and Redfin. Up 60% in 5 years, with most of that being in the last 2 years. That entire subdivision used to be upper 100s to lower 200s when we moved in, in 2013. Now it is upper 200s if you're lucky to almost 400.  For the same fucking houses that are all 5 years older, with older HVAC systems, older roofs, older appliances, older water heaters... Most of the houses there use that cheapo hardiboard that started having issues and you'll probably end up having to replace all the siding on the house at some point as it falls apart from moisture damage if the paint isn't kept up. But hey...housing market!11!!!!11!1Utter insanity.  We had a 2100sqft 4/2 built in 2003, average electricity bill was about $175. Built a new home in 2015, radiant barrier, better insulation, better windows, etc etc, 2 story, 3400sqft 5/3.5 average electricity bill... $100. All because of advancements in building technique/technology. But people/realtors will comp out a 50yo home with a brand new home and use the same $/sqft and some reason idiots keep buying them at those prices. The price difference almost paid for itself with difference of utilities. Yeah, I wouldn't have bought my house if it hadn't been for the location, 2400sqft shop, and updates it had. As I mentioned it's at least 170 years old, maybe 180. The previous owners put a bit into framing/drywalling the 12" thick brick exterior walls, fiberglass insulating it, updating the wiring, updating the plumbing, newish septic, and a brand new roof on it. The kitchen had also been fully updated. I intend to get the place (and shop roof) foam insulated when I get done paying off the new HVAC (had to replace it 6 months after buying  ). It'll need new windows soon, the originals are about 25 years old. The stone and mortar foundation and basement needs need a little TLC as well.That said, I figure the house has made it through 1 Civil War, hopefully it'll make it through #2.  My brother bought a house built about 4 years ago, far larger than mine. I saw what it was built of and who built it (a lot of Hablas). I don't see it standing in 180 years let alone 90. And my kitchen is a lot nicer than my brother's.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sure I'll just go out and buy several thousand in tools that I don't know how to use with the money I was going to use to hire a contractor, which I don't actually have anyway. Should go swimmingly, I'll take pictures for posterity. I've been down this road. More often than not you sink a bunch of money into trying to diy something then you realize you are in over your head, you have to hire someone anyway. Those are mistakes I can't afford. Not even once. I spent about $350 in tools and materials to put in a new shower surround, shower head, cartridges and handles. I had some tools already. The tile surround had cracked and the sheetrock behind it was getting moldy. It took about 3 days of messing with it after work and one weekend day to install a cheap plastic surround. A handyman would have charged probably $1500 or more in labor alone. This summer I have to paint some exterior trim and pour a bucket of tar on a flat roof over the deck and let it soak in to stop a leak. |

 The Big Short (2015) - FrontPoint Partners' investigation in Florida & first trade [HD 1080p] "I sold that house for 350 the year it was built. 2 years later -- 480. Then 585, maybe 18-months ago. This couple bought it for 650 last year." Sounds familiar.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What kind of flat roof? Torch down, EPDM, other? It's got a very slight slope to it, and what looks like asphalt rolled roofing on it. I have no idea what any of those things you mentioned are. It was built in 79. There is a slight depression where water pools up instead of rolling off that is causing the problem. I just need a "cheap and VERY easy button" to stop water from going through it that isn't going to take more than a couple of hours of work. The shingles on the main roof look okay but we get ice dams because the overhang is like 5 feet. Honestly I'd almost be cool with cutting it back to 2 feet, but that's far too ambitious a project for me. A metal roof would be perfect, but that's out of reach until we pay off the cars. |

As far as I can tell this is the cheapest "house" in Everett WA, according to Zillow. It's traditionally been a very blue collar city, and I have to commute 30 miles to my decent paying job.
At $150k I was actually interested in buying it, until I saw the $670/mo lot lease  Attached File Attached File Attached FileMiLeNiAlLs doNt WaNt StArTeR HoMES! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You should be able to roll it out and get a cheap fix on it. If it is that old and it doesn't have exposed fasteners it is probably a torch down roof. Basically you use a propane torch to melt the underside and adhere it to the roof. They made them with plain rubber and a granulated surface. If you do tar it down and continue to have problems you are going to have to do a complete tear off. Not trying to scare you I just wanted you know what you could be potentially getting into in the future. Wear clothes you don't care about and don't "paint" yourself into a corner That shit gets on you and it you are throwing those clothes away. Awesome, thanks for this info! Much appreciated.

Better figure it out because if you dont all the lazy kids will blame you for their failures. Riddle me this.... what do you expect the boomers to do that you some how cant do your self ? Put another way... while you are blaming the boomers for all of our woes what are you doing to change things for the better ? Or do you just get a pass because you're " a younger adult " ? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This thread is non-stop. According to the timeline I'm a millennial. I started working my second two years of high school and I think I still have the paperwork that shows I started at $9.00/hr in 2000. I worked there through college part time and full time two years after. Long story short, I've worked nearly non-stop since 2000 while having to fight the recession that followed. I only have a house because I left a high cost of living state. My mortgage balance is around 100,000 and I have liquid funds to pay off at least half of it. I won't though because my payment is under $700. I suppose you can calculate my age based off my dates. My monthly credit card bill is three times my mortgage and I'm frugal as fuck. I could easily cash out and walk the earth like Jules. 22 years is over half my life. My current job has a pension but it's only gravy if you hit 25-30 years. I'm over it. Gimme that sweet UBI. I'll find something to do to supplement the income and pay for health insurance if that isn't free yet. Work is for suckers. That seems to be the millennial moto. |

GTFOH Boomers let the AWB pass, let the Hughes Amendment pass, let the politicians they voted for bail out corporate America at the expense of the middle class not once but twice in 2008 and 2020, enjoyed the best economy to ever exist for decades until they began to get control of it in the 90s and promptly destroyed it by outsourcing, oh and also are the single most sensitive generation to ever exist, merely mentioning that they may have made mistakes elicits responses like yours because you are literally incapable of taking general criticism. This results in a whole generation of geriatric babies who refuse to even acknowledge problems, let alone propose decent solutions to them, leaving the door wide open for communists and socialists to exploit this lack of support and gain power, therefore wrecking the country. But yeah sure keep calling people snowflake and making jokes about iPhones, that’ll help the very real situations of wage stagnation and housing prices. |

BTW if you are a grown man and you vote, by your own standards you are just as guilty. You are quick to criticize but tell me what will you do differently to exempt yourself of responsibility? I'll give you a hint , our problems aren't generational and theve been building out of control of the little guy for a long time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Boomers let the AWB pass, let the Hughes Amendment pass, let the politicians they voted for bail out corporate America at the expense of the middle class not once but twice in 2008 and 2020, enjoyed the best economy to ever exist for decades until they began to get control of it in the 90s and promptly destroyed it by outsourcing, oh and also are the single most sensitive generation to ever exist, merely mentioning that they may have made mistakes elicits responses like yours because you are literally incapable of taking general criticism. This results in a whole generation of geriatric babies who refuse to even acknowledge problems, let alone propose decent solutions to them, leaving the door wide open for communists and socialists to exploit this lack of support and gain power, therefore wrecking the country. But yeah sure keep calling people snowflake and making jokes about iPhones, that’ll help the very real situations of wage stagnation and housing prices. Boomers didn't " let any of that shit happen" sport. The fucking commies made that shit happen. Tell me what I as an individual was supposed to do ? Do you think I should have picked up a rifle and marched to DC ? If so what's stopping you from doing that now ? When do be one accountable? If you think the vast majority of working class boomers voted for and supported that shit you're nuts. Did you not just witness the last election? Do you think corruption was just invented ? There is nothing new under the sun . Maybe when the millenials balls drop they'll take responsibility for their own future. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lucky bastard? You could argue that. I say he got that deal because he took the initiative, and good for him for doing it. How many doors do you knock on every week looking for opportunities? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: An older guy here in town about 5 years ago bought a 20 acre parcel with a decent house on it for 50 grand. It wasn't even listed for sale, he just always liked the property, so one day he drove over and knocked on the door, very old lady lived there and he said "Hi ma'am, I'm so and so. I was wondering if you would be interested in selling your property to me?" She said "How about 50 grand?" Sold, done deal, she moved to town. Lucky bastard. Lucky bastard? You could argue that. I say he got that deal because he took the initiative, and good for him for doing it. How many doors do you knock on every week looking for opportunities? He was lucky because that was the only door he had knocked on probably all year and it was a hit, not because he actually went for it. Try it on 20 other properties and they would tell you to go away, or give you a stupid number. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The reason they are so cheap is that small town OH enjoys some of the lowest COL in the country. But y'all keep bitching about why you can't have your overpriced houses in Westerville...Please stay there though-we think and live differently out here in the hinterlands and you won't fit in. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: They probably don't want to buy an asset at an inflated price that is likely to not appreciate much if at all. There is a reason those houses are still listed for the prices they are. You might get into them cheap, but you'll dump money fixing something in them. Everyone is bitching that millennials and Gen Z aren't smart with their money, then when they try to be smart with their money everyone bitches that they are being too picky. The reason they are so cheap is that small town OH enjoys some of the lowest COL in the country. But y'all keep bitching about why you can't have your overpriced houses in Westerville...Please stay there though-we think and live differently out here in the hinterlands and you won't fit in. Did you see someone list the median income for the area? It was like 30 grand. Why live where there is no work? |

Y’all were probably to coked up and laughing about the earnings per share you generated from outsourcing to notice. Thanks for that one boomers, best generation ever! |
