God bless.

[Boardwalk]

This is precisely why they are killing this age group off.

[KSCITYBOY]

yup

[JoJo354]

Standing beside you sodpoodle. Both me and hubby.

[lgjhn23]

Count me in...although I’m not a big fan of old age...LOL

[Fido969]

I’m only 64, you old farts.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I knew I was going to get old but I didn’t think it would be this quick! I guess I can still feel young seeing as how I’m almost 70 and my mom is still with us.

Cocked, locked and ready to rock while blaring out some 60’s tunes.

To all my blue haired ( mine is white) Patriots. Our time is here to once again to answer the call and I ain’t talking ballot box.

The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older
has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by
someone under 35,

I’d take 35 and be happy to start over.
Life has been a blessing.

The “Greatest Generation” is now in its 90’s. Biden’s generation (Silent Gen.) is late 70’s to 80’s. Boomers are early 60’s to 75ish. There are tweeners and gray areas. Generation X is mostly around 50. The Millennials aren’t really all that young anymore.

I’d guess that the median age here is probably north of 70. Older people are usually materially better off because they have had a longer time to accumulate wealth. At this point in time, they are also likely to have been alive for a good while before our country was sold out and our culture completely degraded.

My Dad was a child of the Depression.He was the youngest of 7 growing up in the Irish ghetto of South Boston ("Southie"). He was very intelligent,and very ambitious...but couldn't go to college because of poverty (and anti-Irish discrimination). But despite his lack of formal education he wound up managing Harvard and MIT grads at a well known company.

We were comfortable and had everything we wanted. OTOH he never spent money on himself...except for suits (his job demanded a well dressed man).Even after achieving financial success he always drove an Oldsmobile despite being able to afford a Benz...and he always wore a Timex watch despite being able to afford a Rolex.

I'm almost the same...I spend money on my family but not on myself (except I drive a fairly nice German car,not GM).

Hard work and prudence was my Dad's motto. and I have,to a lesser degree,had the same.

Of course kids today are good at instant gratification.Sad,IMO.

...and yet they let the Leftists COMPLETELY take over education. Thanks a bunch.

[Sirius Lee]

Generation X is mostly around 50.

Yes. Gen X here, but I can relate to much of the boomer generation (older brothers and sisters) - at least the Conservative ones. The ones that firted with hippiehood, not so much.

[Red Badger]

Yes, so they can get our money!..........................

[Huskrrrr]

I’m with you. My mother taught me manners as a kid, something that seems to be lost on today’s yutes.

My wealth was finished during a divorce but everything else fits

In school we studied English, history, math, and science, which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. We still use two spaces after a period when typing. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, $.25 gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes.

I remember all of those things. And in addition to using two spaces after a period, I use "he" and "his" as the indefinite pronoun--as in "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"--which has fallen out of fashion.

“””The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.”””

This is the first time I have heard about such a study of the census data.

Such a study appears designed to pit the folks under age 35 against those above age 65. Which is typical of the Left who divide people into classes in order to have them fight each other.

It has pretty much been always the case that people above age 65 have more assets than those age 35. When a person is 65 they have worked and saved for 40 years. When a person is 35 they have worked and spent for 10 years.

Most people age 35 have little net worth and that is the way it has been for decades.

[Alas Babylon!]

Geezer!

I’m 63.
