Also, Boomers often got to ride the wave of home ownership without much effort - Younger people are not able to do that. Not saying I agree, but the differences are stark.
How so is that?
I bought my first home in 1987 right before I got married. The interest rate for my home loan was 12% and I thought that was great, being that a little before then rates were in the upper teens.
That's a lie.
Boomers knew how to start small, save money, and didn't think they were entitled to start life in their 20's with the level of living their parents attained after decades of work.
Kids these days look at what people have in their 60's and think they are owed it, too, not considering where their parents started from.
my first home in 1987 was bought at 9.95% interest. I was making 18.00/ hr with a mortgage over 1300/month. we both had to work to pay for it.
You Are HIGH, There was no 'f€¢^king "home ownership wave." more like a tsunami and we were issued lead boots for over 10 years.
