Kids these days have VCRs

That logic applies except you can't even rent for one person and now have to live with 8 other people in order to be able to live at all

Also this guy. He has something the majority of us will never have

On anon, they already do much worse...

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT REHEATING GOYSLOP TO WATCH JEWISH MEDIA

Damn Anon Babble was right

This. For the lazy, that's $118.38 per hour priced in 1971 gold.

$7.25 per hour

How many Americans actually get paid $7.25?

It's more common than you think, most wages in most areas I've seen are 12$ an hour

1.5 million

What a bunch of bullshit. Before there were microwaves there was toaster ovens. Which have made a comeback because microwaves suck. VCRs have been obsolete for almost 30 years and boomers were the ones who bought them (and microwaves) when they came out. Boomers had two cars always. Boomers also went on vacation at least once a year right from the get go. This guy doesn’t sound like a typical boomer. He doesn’t even look old enough to be a boomer. What a fucking liar. Boomers could buy a house for nothing on an unskilled labor salary. That’s something that is out of reach for most young people today. That is a fact.

The vaxx made people forget that SNES games were $90

My uber driver last week was a boomer. Said when he was in his mid 20's back in the 1970s he landed a 2 bedroom apartment near miami beach with all utilities included for $450. Water, electricity, etc. He said he made maybe 800 a month. You didn't make shit back then but the money went further and you got more quality for cheap.

So yea they had it better

My dad raised a family of 4 with a butchers salary. We got yearly trips that required flight like Disney or Europe. He got a new car every 5 years paid full in cash. We never struggled. Now that job is outsourced to mexicans for under the table wages. Also there are things they had that we will never see like CDs with near 10% rates. Like imagine having a ~10% completely risk free investment? That is better returns than most things today

old nintendo games were expensive because Japan made all the carts in Japan which jacked up the prices. Stop with your kike disinfo

For some reason PS1, N64, PS2, and XBOX games fell to $50 and $40 less than a decade later.

$20 limit Christmas gift.

so thats like what? $140 now?

This guy looks like he's had a hard life

Turns out hard work does pay off.

Why do boomers and only boomers always have this NO DMs disclaimer in their profile. They all do it like they copy each other. What the fuck are they afraid of? Like that disclaimer will stop people

You don't even have to go that far back. My sister and I were raised by a single mother on a paralegal's salary. She bought our 4 bedroom 3 bath home for $150k 20 years ago. She just sold it for over $400k. $150k won't even get you a dilapidated crack house in the hood today.

I have a sweet Ninja Air Fryer and a $50 Tracphone. Is this tech dick-swinging some sort of badge of struggle where all things cost hundreds of dollars, and if you own them, you're somehow better than others?
WTF kinda boomer shit is this?

sounds like he was a criminal and just fed you a lie so you'd think he made an honest living.
add up the cost of all those things then work it out, doesn't add up.

Yea the point though is that Millennial are now reaching the age where they have college age kids. It was very common (expected even) for boomers to simply pay for their kids university. They had the means to still have no debt, the house paid off, the two cars, and a boat by age 40 and still have money to pay for their kids school.

Only a fraction of Millennials are able to do this compared to boomers.

He said he made maybe 800 a month

in 1970s

So if the minimum wage was 2.10 in 1975 and presuming he worked 8 hours a day 5 days a week, if he didn't pay taxes, didn't buy food, gas, utilities, and nothing else he would make 470 dollars a month.

They are trained to answer and not ignore unwanted messages. They can't just let the phone ring if they don't want to talk to someone.

No he even has a pension and everything it's crazy.

he had a wife

he had a job

he had a house to put furniture in

you had a marriage, your own home, a car, christmas and a pension?
damn...

Provably false. He's equating not having the top tier consumer luxuries of the time of "being poor."

never went on vacation for the first 10 years of our marriage and $20 christmas gift limit

A modern woman would divorce you over this, if you were even lucky enough to get close to marriage while working 2 jobs and not owning basic necessities

YEAHHH. I'LL MASSIVELY ENJOY (YOU) KILLING YOUR FAMILY, FUCKING KIKE BOT!!! NO CAPS FR FR

I also believe he's flubbing the definition of vacation. Like he probably means flying somewhere far. I guarantee they got in the car and went places

BUSSIN

we didn't have all those fancy china-made doo-dads, knick knacks OR doo-hickeys

Boomers are the most retarded generation by far and ascribe their entire quality of life to minor conveniences

Even if you make 10x min wage the value is lower than it was, relative to the gold price

Poor boomer worked nearly 30 hours a week 25 weeks a year you young whippersnapper!

Who cares about a VCR if there's nothing to watch

His $20 Christmas gift is a $160 limit today lol. He's just flat out lying about not going on vacation for 10 years, he probably considers not traveling overseas to be "no vacation" but you can bet your ass he took a week off for every summer holiday and he was at the golf course with the other boomers every Friday afternoon no later than 1PM.

we couldnt afford a computer

neither can most people now lol

20 dollar gift worth 400 now.

Oh wow look at the thrifty faggot.
Glad all the boomers took the vax and accelerated all their deaths.

are these christian boomers right? do young men now have life easier than ever before?

The bar to entry for a white collar job was so laughably low it's hilarious. Education was affordable and getting any bullshit degree would probably land you something cushy with benefits. If this xitter retard was living with that employment situation today he would have been eating beans out of a can and living in a moldy apartment in the ghetto.

zero whites, which is all that matters.

no. it's evil. society is pretty fucked up. wanna blame it on boomers as the jew wants you to, fine. bit like the 'fellow whites' thing, innit. fuck them 'boomer bad' threads. so dumb. t. boomer kek

Every time I hear a boomer say they had it rough my mind immediately goes through a fucking Proustian reverie back to when I was 18 and my mom was frustrated about how I couldn't get a job and told a story how she walked into a Denny's one morning when she was 16 asking for a job, and they literally had her waiting tables that night. Technology has advanced and we can do things more efficiently now, big deal. Where are the jobs?

Luxuries are cheaper, but life is way more expensive. Sure not everyone could afford a new TV or VCR whenever they wanted, but everyone could afford at least an apartment, and you didn't have to get too far out of poverty to afford a house.

You lack perspective
Not every boomer had the wealth you think they had.
Having literally any of the shit you take for granted was a privilege for some. A VCR was at one point the equivalent cost of the highest end iPhone, some people could only rent them for a time if they wanted to watch a movie.

Mortgaging a single wide trailer (not even land) was and still is the richest my grandparents ever where and that was only 20 years ago. Before that it was always shitholes, often with no AC and in a southern state to boot

youtube.com/watch?v=ue7wM0QC5LE
today I can't walk the street without the risk of being stabbed and/or robbed. boomers and gen X didn't suffer that but they wished it on future generations before fucking off to the suburbs. fuck them and their anecdotal bullshit.

A lot of people can only think of these things in terms of access to material goods, they don't consider how much they made relative to the cost of necessities or how hard it was to get a good paying job

Did you ask yourself the same question about 1971 min wage or you just stupid to understand min wage

The cartridges contained ram and rom and other computer shit.

He lived in a time where America was still a majority white, high trust society with affordable homes, non-whore women, and plenty of jobs that could support a family. But hey at least now you can buy plastic shit from China online.

your mom meant well. she didn't think much about how you'd fare with a waiter job and who can really understand the changes we've been subject to. when pointing out the jew is considered madness. a job used to be honest work, paid for fairly in relation to prices. sometimes that job could last a lifetime. my grandparents used to run a car shop that fed 10 families. the objective was always to manage for the benefit of the 'team'. no need for eternal growth back then. such team had cycle positions, i.e. you'd join as apprentice and could in theory leave, after aquiring the qualification, and start your own business. few did that, cause it was fine as it was. each of them had a house and kids and cars. then the money printer went brr and oh, boomers. damn em, right?

the 90s, especially the early 90s, was shit. it was a shit economy, even with an above minimum wage job I had to juggle paying off credit cards to support my family. people who grew up in the 90s have no valid opinion of that time period outside their coddled childhood experience with no responsibilities.

Probably split it with a roommate or two. Imagine paying $150 per month to live by the beach. You can't do that now.

just casually assumes we all get to take a full week of vacation ever

Assumes I can ever go anywhere for vacation or ever have

Assumes I could even consider getting a new car or live somewhere where public transit is an option

Couldn't afford luxuries because he got a wife like every other boomer and she didn't even have to work

Just went and got another job, because it was that easy, even when you're a talentless boomer retard

but I can watch goyslop on a computer that watches me back and warm things up in a microwave so my life is easier and better than his ever was

Seeing boomers become homeless and slowly die while mumbling about "back in my day" and begging people for light beer and hotdogs is going to be fucking hilarious.

Women have always been whores. They had 'free love' at the time but it's always been around, it's simply thier nature.

sells house to rich Asians for 10 times what he paid for it

Ya dang kids I walked up hill to work BOTH WAYS

Incel zoomers be like

MUH BOOMERS HAD IT EASIER BECAUSE THEY COULD BUY A BIG HOUSE FOR LITTLE MONEY WHEREAS POOR ME ONLY HAS THE TOTAL OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE ACCESSIBLE FROM ANY LIBRARY COMPUTER

I would rather start with a shitty studio apartment and learn my way into a great salary than work as a lightbulb fixer for 40 years for the same company and be stuck in the same shitty suburbian house forever

Imagine living back then as a boomer and still having to do all this

I had life on tutorial mode and I still barley won

Not sure the point he's trying to assert here, but he lived in a time where his purchasing power was orders of magnitude larger than ours. All this shows is the that the dude barley made even in the most conducive of economic circumstances

Yeah we're not on an equal playing field until minimum wage has equivalent purchasing power and this

This. For the lazy, that's $118.38 per hour priced in 1971 gold.

Is a conservative estimate

Once again, the boomer is a fucking retard and loudly showcasing he knows nothing. Teaching them computers was a mistake.

The average annual pay in 1913 was equal to an amount of gold which is now $625,000.

They made about $300 worth of gold per hour on average

Also NASA faked the moon landing but you got the microwave out of it so stop being so anti American

we didn't have brand new tech that came out immediatly

go back to making 13.50 a hour and trying to save up 150k to put a down payment on a house that I'm selling which was my third real-estate investment

Yeah, but kids having VCRs now is not indicative of them having luxuries or living better or some other Boomer cope.

I can go to a thrift store and get a VCR for $5. Or get one for free from someone trying to get rid of it. Any Boomer crying about how kids have VCRs and that shows how easy they have it is so deeply delusional that they should be put in a home and left to rot.

you are stupid
the 1990s was total garbage for everyday wealth, and women had to basically degrade themselves with shitty low quality males as partners
now that the internet and international trade has changed everything, low status males (by the millions) are valued exactly as they should be valued, and you faggots whine about being broke bitches , but that has existed since the dawn of time, but you have a free internet platforms to complain all day

I would rather start with a shitty studio apartment and learn my way into a great salary

Are you a teenager who thinks school is prison, or an already spoiled trust fund kid vacationing in the third world?

Kids these days have a super computer in their pocket and they still can't spell or do basic algebra.

The average meme applies here right?

Friendly reminder all Boomer vs Zoomer threads are a JIDF Divide and Conquer psyop. Read up on Mao's Youth Revolution.

Boomers also had a less kiked diet. Less likely to be raised on so much vegetable oil
They weren't raised by retarded parents who believed infant formula which is just corn syrup and vegetable oil with vitamins, is healthier than breastmilk
They weren't given 500 vaccines as a kid, destroying their immune systems and causing an epidemic of autism and autoimmune disease
They weren't as likely to have their penis mutilated the moment the entered this world
Because they weren't raised by boomers. They are the boomers. They had a good life and decided to become demonically abusive to their children for no reason other than some demon looking kikes telling them to

is there really anything left unconquered? hwities are literally appeasing their children's murderers at this point

Shitskins aren't human beings you stupid old faggot

Aren't those the people who killed landlords? Why should I hate them again?
They're Asians, they can't live up to white standards anyway

wtf has that boomer done to improve our world? I work endlessly to improve my surroundings for myself and for my fellow man, and I get rewarded nothing but good karma, which is the best reward of all. Regardless, the older generations alive today are parasites and lecturers. I hope Tom Kemmett is viciously beaten to death by an illegal Guatemalanigger.

and you didn't ask for a sec if this really was about the now outdated tech? i mean, it's the comfort of watching something independently from tv, at home. which was considered a luxury and expensive. i wonder how you cannot see, that even this boomer complaining in OP is a d&c pysop. try issue money independent from jews and watch things bloom. though the problems the jews have accrued are so vast now, it'd would take a while. you wanna kill boomers to help achieve that goal? gone head, see what happens.

WE DIDN'T HAVE VCR OR A MICROWAVE

buys a fucking house with minimum wage

Why learn gayassed algebra when you can just goon to sexy animals twerking on your magic rectangle?

It's been impoverished shit in the south since the 1800s. Your grandparents were just fucking losers.
Know what's more expensive than a low tier VCR in the late 80s or 90s? My weekly fucking grocery bill. The thing I don't just buy once every half decade at most.

It's shows an advancement regardless.
Being able to have something that allows you to watch almost anything and anytime is a luxury, plain and simple and it used to not be cheap.

Growing up at the very bottom of what you would consider middle class, most boomers I know still live in abject shitholes with little amenities besides a crappy TV and some window ACs, being too poor to really fix up what they did have. My grandparents where the lucky ones really.

Yet here on Anon Babble, everything is great because they have a paid off house, even if some of these places is one step away from being condemned.

Imagine being a boomer and still being poor lol. This guy sounds like a fucking retard who pissed away the incredible economic opportunities that his generation was afforded. He STILL is too stupid to understand what he missed out on. STOCKS AND FUCKING REAL ESTATE.

His obsession with material bullshit is why he never succeeded. He also doesn't even comprehend the social life that he was afforded. Likely still thinks that school is the same as it was in his time, surrounded by people of his own ethnicity who are easy to relate to and get along with. Able to go out and feel at ease knowing he's among civilized people. No need to worry about the future because of how blindingly bright it seemed. The fact that he finishes by saying he wouldn't have done it differently is evidence that he still doesn't even understand how the Western world turned to shit so fast and why his generation is blamed by their children.

They weren't as likely to have their penis mutilated the moment the entered this world

how did they then became the very same penis mutilators for their own children?

We don't even have entertainment media worth watching anymore you fucking retard

don't post numbers like this without comparing them to the cost of living

By believing and or doing literally everything jews ever told them

Circumcision increased rapidly to about 90% of infant males in the 90s, in america

Yeah, technology advances. Having ice was a luxury at one point in time, as were pineapples.

Records and record players were luxuries. Boomers grew up with those. And cassette players. And they had their own cars most of the time. Ignore those, though, they ruin the argument that Boomers had it SOOO hard.

more like kids these days dont know what a VCR even is and wouldnt even know how to plug them up without having four panic attacks

i happened to sell illegally imported vcrs beginning of the 80s, when they (and cameras) were disapproved of in the east, cause danger to democrazy. they cost about a third of a reasonable monthly salary in the west and almost a years normal income in the east. guess who bought the things. das rite, rich jews. allowed me to buy my first rust heap car at age 20 and to never want a job again.

Boy that must have been so tough! How did you entertain yourself on your beautiful acreage surrounded by friends and family? That's literally my dad's upbringing btw, in what is now a hyper expensive suburb of a one of the most expensive cities in the USA. But his parents bought the land for a pittance and built a house on it, off my grandfather's salary alone. With 5 children.
Zoomer please. I'm Gen X and while lots of things were better than now it was nowhere near as idyllic as my boomer parents had it. I grew up in a fairly shitty house built in the 1930s that had 5 rooms including the bathroom. My parents both worked and I was basically raising myself by the time I was in 5th grade. Despite what all the pop culture of today shows you about the 1980s lots of America was fucked up then, especially the cities. Mine still had boarded up windows and burned out buildings from the MLK riots and decay and junkies everywhere. We're getting back to that a bit now but the difference today is that the cities still look nice on the whole. Back then most of all major cities were total shit.

you gotta smack these people, directly in the face. it's the only language they understand.

The nursing home allows you to use the internet?

Funerals are now "celebrations of life", in a legion or some fuckin bar/pub, with your ashes in a box or if youre lucky in an urn. The last real funeral I went too was for a silent gen/borderline og boomer, that had already covered the costs via disability fraud since he was 35

Extend it to anything you want.
People nowadays just have more access to more luxuries then ever.

Records and record players were luxuries. Boomers grew up with those

Your ignoring the universality of how things are now. Not everyone in the past had everything that was available.
Nowadays you wouldn't accept a rental that wasn't in near perfect condition, with AC, heat, working plumbing, etc. You wouldn't accept not having a globally connected supercomputer in your pocket, People are accepting less cars that also aren't near perfect in condition even without boomer influence.
Hell, people nowadays adamantly reject the idea of buying shit like new single wide trailer and land because it's not good enough.

Standards have gone up, you have access to more, but everyone is oppressed somehow.

Why is the go-to rebuttal always

um, NEW TECHNOLOGY, incel!

Like how does that relate to anything in this conversation, which is about the economy and the culture.

Thanks for showing the class that real time world trade was a mistake.

I don't have a microwave. I take the bus because I've never been able to afford a used car. I've never had a vacation or a job that offers me a vacation. I haven't gotten a Christmas present in 10 years. I can't find a woman to marry whatsoever. I'm 36. This fucking boomer is talking about a year or two around when he was 18-20.

we didnt have a microwave

just homecooked fresh food not filled with plastic and chemicals

i took the bus until i bought a used car

it was actually safe and clean enough on public transport that people could regularly use it

we used furniture from garage sales

people werent so mentally ill and evil that you had to worry about what disgusting things they had done on or to thing they were giving away

we gave eachother a $20 limit for Christmas

$20 was actually worth something back then

you cant understand someones life until you have lived it

and i will never get to live it because boomer rats sold my world

You more access to things that don't matter and less to things that do. That's the problem. You are right about general housing expectations though now, everyone expects (faux) luxury everything instead of functional. A lot of that is from advertising

Yes, we live in a surveillance state where everything is already owned.

Also, funny how it's NOT ALL BOOMERS, but everyone else has everything new that you consider a luxury. You can't claim one generation is a spectrum of experiences and all the rest are one generalizable experience. Your subjective judgement on all of this is not truth.

Boomers also had much lower barriers for entry and way less competition. They were just as if not more retarded than the current generations, it was just a lot harder to fail in the past.

building themselves pyramids

splendid idea. how much might a medium size pyramid be including tip? i thought about putting some money aside, as every generation did before me. a pyramid though, wow. need to call my boomer friend in building reg. dpt. and probably will have to liquidate most assets. oh well, the sons are doing fine. we built their houses together, we work in the same business anyway. they'll be fine. and have a pyramid to meet at. oh, lawdy.

lol fucking poorfag boomer

Many such cases. There's a wide mix of boomers. Some died homeless. Others were able to buy houses for two or three wives.

They are trained to answer and not ignore unwanted messages. They can't just let the phone ring if they don't want to talk to someone.

This. My mother in law answers every scam call and talks to them for several minutes. My wife and I are yelling at her that it is a scam and she just says

I know

I know

To us as she keeps giving them information and answering their questions because she doesn't want to be rude. She has been scammed several times. It is literally because she won't ignore calls and won't hang up on people.

It's all bullshit boomer talk anyway. They did all that crap in a majority white society, so even the shitty aspects of it were still 1000x better than the best parts of western society today.

based and truthpilled

world population was at 3.5 bill around the 70s. a negro in germany still stood out like a sore thumb. russified east was as poor as the jews wanted it to be. with them on top, lecturing us. i noticed early how being a slave would not be beneficial to myself and acted accordingly. it wasn't a rose garden but i'm painfully aware of what goes on now. i'm sorry. assuming one did kill boomers to accelerate the inheritance. would that change much when at the same time money is devalued at an exponential rate? probably not. it would remove your roots though, which seems the idea. dehumanize the goyim. make them kill each other and their grandma. lmao. TKD

boomers invited the shitskins in, for that alone they deserve all the hate they get

Delusional layabout doesn't understand inflation.
Kill all boomers.

I guess it depends on what people feel that matters to them.
Many are choosing location and adjudication of responsibility. Many of my co-workers who make exactly the same as I do are choosing both of those things over simple ownership. They live in higher COL aera with high rent, I made the decision to have things like a mortgage, buy used cars, live further out, etc which is better by the standards of Anon Babble because I'm not renting but I'm also doing my own maintenance and dealing with things they have zero clue about.

but everyone else has everything new that you consider a luxury

Because by and large, people just do and they are making decisions towards having as much as possible over something like ownership

$20 in boomer times

that's insane. that's like 2k-20k in 2025 under inflation trump

Turns out. The boomer DID have it easier.

I have never been on a vacation.
Me and my wife don't usually buy Christmas presents for each other.
I worked 80 hours weeks for 10 years knee deep in literal blood.

I'm literally eat out of my backyard.
I have never owned new furniture In my life. Including beds.

The worst generation in human history wants to pretend like they had it hard.

Boomers have been the center of attention their entire lives and would kill their children for a second more.

my dad worked for Kenny's shoes for $2.50 an hour when he was 18. (1977) Rent was $100 a month for him. He had to live on his own because parents moved to Spokane when he graduated from North Eugene Highschool.

houses were cheaper, VCR or whatever bs means nothing you fat boomer.
boomers hate us young ones, I can see it seething in their eyes, the other day I crossed the road in front of a store and an old geezer honked at me, when I asked why he said you walk like nonchalant or something like that, I wanted to pick a fight but the old lady next to him told him to move. They just hate us, day of the pillow soon

The issue with this guy's framing is: He worked a job, and as such he could A.) Pay his mortgage on his cheap house, B.) Afford groceries, and C.) Put some money away so in a month maybe he can go buy that VCR or microwave. And he could do that on his actual paychecks.

If I went out to get a normal job right now? If I were to make $20 an hour for 40 hours a week, every week, I could MAYBE afford rent and utilities, and then have some left over for food and gas. Ain't no fucking way $3200 a month is enough to pay for your own housing, food, car, and then have money left to save for things.

What's a vcr?

Both my mother and father are constantly showing me emails or telling me about calls they get, wherein sometimes they will actually argue with the people on the other end demanding info on what these "charges" that are due or pending or whatever.

I have to remind them every time; Mom, dad, YOU DON'T HAVE AN AMAZON ACCOUNT. YOU DON'T PAY FOR THINGS ONLINE.

STOP POSTING THIS BOOMER OR I WILL TRACK HIM DOWNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEFOIHWFOWGF$U#)FIz32u090

Whiter, yes but not easier. Cops used to be a menace. Church bitches gossip like mad and teen pregnancy happened serval times in my 99% white suburban high school. Every time has good and bad parts. Make the most of your time.

T. Class of 96

How much did you buy your house for, boomer?

If I felt I could buy myself a house in my early twenties on a stable blue-collar job, I wouldn't give a fuck about vacations or nice cars.

Whoa good stat

This. Boomers are so fucking spoiled, and they don't even try to get it. They're just materialist parasites obsessed with consumer products.

I'm so sorry you couldn't watch Return of the Goy 4: A New Thang as readily as millennials or zoomers could. Not ever being able to have a house, a wife, a family or any sort of real society or community, was totally worth the trade. It's also such a luxury to pay more for groceries in a year than a boomer would in a decade. I love that I needed a bachelor's, to graduate magna cum laude, and have enough boomer references to get an entry level office job run by spoiled (female) boomers and lazy girls. I love that when I do finish my meaningless week of busywork, I have the luxury of heating my borderline poison, expensive slop in a MICROWAVE, and watching videos alone on a larger immobile rectangle than the one that watches me and increases my chances of cancer every day. Thank God I didn't have to suffer like the boomers, who worked hard to firmly shake hands and become managers out of high school, while juggling their marriage plans and time with close friends.

You fucking kids listen to me: There's a whole, gigantic world of media and movies out there in the form of VHS tapes. An enormous portion of that stuff has never been and will never be transferred to digital. Who knows how much of it will be lost forever. Don't forget about VCR's, kids!!

Boomers could buy a house for nothing on an unskilled labor salary

In general, that's not true. That's fantasy.

This guy is just a dyed in the wool poorfag.

Cops used to be a menace.

Literally stop being a nigger.

we couldn`t afford technology that was at the time brand new

well... yeah

and you saved money where you could because it actually made a difference. pinching pennies for a year now will only get you 0.2% closer to buying a house. back then however it made a bigger difference so you pinched some pennies harder and worked harder because it actually got you somewhere

How much is that 20 dollars in today's money.

but why is it his fault that he got one? its like gen alpha blaming gen z for getting in bitcoin sub 20k.

You're right, they had to get a mortgage at a low rate and experience the horror of having less VHS tapes during the dark period of house payments they knew they'd finish paying off if they didn't buy a boat or a new car every other year.

It's not his fault I am not saying that what I am saying is he is objectively wrong saying we don't have it harder

Wow he had access to public transportation? He could actually find 2 jobs?? We still dont have that where i grew up. City boomers are peak scum

Boomers are narcissistic pieces of shit that were handed the world by their parents and now they're hell bent on selling it all to jews before they die.

Every time has good and bad parts. Make the most of your time.

Literally this.

For every "but the previous gen had this" whiner I could point out several things they have/had now that didn't exist back then.

The reality is that there are opportunities and falls of each generation. If you miss out, its not because you didn't have a chance.

Just gonna leave this here
www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/nrs/tables/time-series/historical-nrs/uspricemon.pdf

My dad loaded planes his entire life and made, adjusted for inflation, 70$ a hour. He had a 6 bedroom 3 bathroom house, 2 cars, and retired at 65. He hasn't worked in 20 years and my mother has never worked in her life.

It wasn't a fantasy. His only job was loading luggage onto planes during the golden age of air travel.

As a kid I flew for free on flight cards all around the Continental united states free of charge.
I went to California to see a movie and last Vegas for food.

Again, my dad had no college, can barely read and his entire job was to put luggage into a plane belly.

They forced him into early retirement, never replaced him, cut staff, and lowered wages down to like 13$ a hour in the mid 2000s.
My mom still thinks 12$ a hour is good money and endlessly bitches about the lazy youth spending too much on cellphones and that's the only reason 13$ can't pay rent.

Many are choosing location and adjudication of responsibility. Many of my co-workers who make exactly the same as I do are choosing both of those things over simple ownership. They live in higher COL aera with high rent, I made the decision to have things like a mortgage, buy used cars, live further out, etc which is better by the standards of Anon Babble because I'm not renting but I'm also doing my own maintenance and dealing with things they have zero clue about.

Yes I hear you. But keep in mind that much of what has changed are the location dynamics. Even me as late gen X was able to buy a modest home within the city limits, a used vehicle for a normal price and maintain them myself without taking insane debt or being in the absolute top percentage of salary. That's just not really possible anymore. I respect your choice, if I had to make it now I'd probably do the same. But I didn't have to choose between affordability and distance, and that's the difference

Those days when all he could do was look at these babies before going home to his mansion to just fuck his wife after a homemade meal still haunt him, you guys have no idea how hard it was back then.

Your mom isn't wrong to a large extent. Poor financial responsibility and predatory debt is crushing the younger generation.

Look at most online stores, they all offer some sort of afterpay/Klarna shit. "Can afford $40 makeup? Split it into 4 easy monthly payments of $12!" Who do you think are the target demographic for that option?

women had to basically degrade themselves with shitty low quality males as partners

they still do unless they`re ok being forever alone chasing chad cock and sharing it with every other woman until she hits the wall and chads too busy with younger women to still fuck with her but she still thinks she deserves the best so she dies alone with a bunch of cats trying to fight off the sinking desperation of knowing she wasted her youth and her eggs and will now never have a husband and children (things she didn`t know she wanted until she grew too old to have it). these women are starting to age into reality and they are freaking out.

be boomer

earn $5 per hour as a highschool dropout at 16 in 1975

$10,000 a year

bank offers you 40 FORTY FUCKING acres of FLAT FAMRLAND for $6,000

a little over than half your yearly income to pay off 40 FUKCING ACRES OF TILLABLE SOIL

"yeaaap kids these days........"

You're fucking retarded. Boomers inflated the shit out of everything with credit cards and cheap mortgages. They lived on the promised labor of today's working generation. No one cares about your shitty makeup pay plan example, that's a symptom of incredibly lessened wealth, not a cause of anything.

I'll forgive you cause you don't know this woman.

Sickness isn't real.
Vacations should get you fired.
Men shouldn't be at home, they should be at work.

She is like a hardcore protestant but not religious, she has a really grotesque, false idea of what work is, having never worked for anyone in her life.

I don't want to trauma dump on you or anything bro. She wasn't a good mother but exclusively identified as one.

The proof is that I'm a Marxist living in the woods cut off from 90% of society.
I donate half of the food I produce and sell the other half.
when I worked in normal jobs, I don't know a single job where they didn't require a cellphone. When I was doing 80 hour weeks as a butcher to get my land they forced me to sign non competes and I wasn't allowed to have a second job, hence the 80 hour weeks.

forgets to mention almost everyone doing it alongside him was born in the country

Boomers requirements were 50% of the current days requirements and they got paid 120% more than current days wages.

That's why they give the firm handshake and show up in a suit speech. It really was that easy.

Culture was different with promoting from within and rewarding hard work.

It was just easier, requiring less and the reward was twice as much. Everyone has a hard time accepting that for some reason.

>I didn't have a microwave

Ohhhh boo hoo your mom gave you home cooked meals and you sat down for dinner and didn't have a micro transactions at every corner of life. Wahhhhhh

It really is hard to feel sorry for them or people who defend them.

The proof is that I'm a Marxist living in the woods cut off from 90% of society.

You don't sound like a Marxist. Marxists are control freaks who want to foment revolutions not be left alone. Sound more like a libertarian. Whatever you are, you're not wrong about what work has become in this country. I worked a contract job where we weren't allowed to charge overtime yet the customer constantly demanded work at off hours and also demanded coverage during normal business hours. How the fuck do you square that circle? I did by simply not showing up anymore that week once I hit 40 hours.

Trust me. I don't feel like fighting hogs about their dying society or explain das kapital and the inherent flaws in capitalism.

Maybe your perception on Marxism is wrong and you should reexamine it? I don't like the colored haired weirdos either.

i am a militant hippie woods dwelling Marxist or whatever trigger works right wingers have. My life is pretty great and I think other people should have one similar if they want it. Or be gay if they want. Hell cut your dick off. I don't care.

Maybe a little libertarian too.

One thing you will never get a boomer to admit to is the effect that importing the 3rd world has had on everything, let alone getting them to admit who was primarily responsible for it.

I'm sure just as many or fewer were paid that much.
Even in the 70s there were tons of manufacturing jobs, not just retail or DoorDash.
Where I'm at, most places pay minimum of $15.

It must depend on where you live. If you lived in or near a major metro area then boomers are basically millionaires at this point and always had these things you call luxury. If you lived in a trailer in Appalachia than it’s a little different

nigger

Nowadays you wouldn't accept a rental that wasn't in near perfect condition, with AC, heat, working plumbing, etc.

bait used to be believable

Poor financial responsibility and predatory debt is crushing the younger generation.

just say jews

indeed, i do not admit to that and i am certainly not responsible for it. i'm sure you have accordingly punished the members of your family who voted for jewish slave trade back in the days. blessed be the land of the fee. we can all learn so much from you.

Bought a used car

There were used cars

Thanks Obama

After covid? Not many.

I had life on tutorial mode and I still barley won

Maybe if he just put in more work he could oats win.

But they made twice minimum wage!

Twice minimum wage today is $15 an hour

Today in Miami that's a $3000 a month apartment if you're ok with being stabbed, $5000+ if you want a semblance of safety going to your car

Believe everything you read.
Everything.

yes, that part of the 'world healing' agenda is a real bummer. typical iconoclasm. the jew's greed is a destructive force. until further developments we are like sisyphos on a logarithmical incline.

everything you said is true if it dident cost a million dollars for a place settle down in with a wife

no the reality is that home ownership is the single most important aspect of life and being gatekept from ever owning a house because of infinity immigrants because line must go up is evil and shitty

Yea boomers in denial. As usual.
The news, government, everyone knows the economy is bad. Compared to what?
1950 when the minimum wage was over $20 adjusted for inflation.
It was known as the golden age in America.
That's when he came into it.
Gen Z is coming into this shit. Houses unaffordable, cars, rent, everything.
Even boomers know this to be true it's not a mystery but they often refuse to acknowledge it's a worse economy for young people.
Oh no they have it just as easy somehow.
My dad who's a boomer got his college education, Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and a Master in Business, for 2000 bucks.
Whole shot. He paid for it himself working summer jobs.

Bro. 13 Hr is not enough to live on in ANY city in america above 50K people

Your 100% right but its not being done

because line must go up

thats just an excuse , they dont want white people starting family's and its kinda obvious everywhere you look. What the fuck is the point of a 120 sec timer by the way if you have to wait another 120 secs when its done?

I got junk mail today that showed a black man with a white woman with a mixed baby on it, lol. They really are making it obvious that they just don't want white people to exist anymore. What you said is right, but the immigrants = higher property values thing is how boomers justify it to themselves

People couldn't afford commodity. Only necessity
