Baby boomers, especially younger members, comprise a growing percentage of homeless people.

Many are struggling to keep up with skyrocketing rents while pandemic aid dwindles.

A shortage of subsidized housing is compounding the problem.

While housing costs in the US continue to skyrocket and homelessness has become a crisis, no group appears to be getting hit harder than young baby boomers.

the 401k started in 1980, just about the time young baby boomers were entering the workforce. Many of the traditional pension plans were subsequently reduced as companies expected us to use the 401k plans as a substitute for them.

“The left has worked to destroy the family structure”

Yep. And I’m wondering if it wasn’t all planned out that way. Put the blacks on welfare, destroy their families and make them even more dependent on government.

And now the same with all the other families via school and media indoctrination, the trans-cult, destroy the church, etc.

All so that more and more people need to depend on the government, which of course gives the government more power.

(That is the plan to bring about The Great Reset, a digital currency and UBI. Don’t have any money, don’t worry the government will give you a digital allowance that can be wiped out if you misbehave or engage in wrong think.)

Yes, when the world ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ government of Daniel 7:23 manifests, everyone will have their money only by controlled access (not by the individual).

That is why the 666 Mark of the Beast will be so successful. For 3-1/2 years.

The majority of people believed and submitted to the COVID-19(84) scam. I refused the jabs but was stuck with the mask ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท.

It was almost impossible to escape the effects. In fact we’re all still suffering from the effects.

It will be pushed, enforced, pimped by the liberal media and the majority will submit.

Born 1946-1964 (59-77 years old)

Which is purely the worst way to measure a generation.

I was born in 1963 and have nothing in common with those older than ten years than myself.

Generations should be within 10 years,10 years older or 10
years younger.

Someone who is nearly 20 years older is old enough to be the parent.

Hate the labeling of the “Baby Boomers” Very very stupid.

They have become “big businesses”. Disgraceful.

The left has worked to destroy the family structure.

With lots of help from individuals' free choices. Sometimes what seemed like a good decision at the time you made it turns out to have really bad outcomes later.

I pray mightily that Karma is a real action and that it is visited on all of those who shun God, who willfully disobey the laws of decency, and through their lawless actions, acquire that to which they are NOT entitled.

“My 71-year-old relative has her 34-year-old and her 5 children by 5 different baby daddy’s living with her. Not a fun life.”

My 63 year old friend has his two adult daughters, one with two kids, where he pays for their rent and other expenses. He found out he can not possible retire on his 401k. He has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars (probably north of $400k) on these adult children over the past 10 years. He should have been retired by now. Stupid is as stupid does.

“When a church grows over a certain amount, the members should look at planting a new church.”

But then the megachurch pastor won’t have enough people contributing money.

I suppose at 63 I am one of those younger baby boomers, but I have made some good choices and worked hard for a lot of years to guarantee I will never be homeless or poor.
