They are eating and drinking all their money away and say that is the only way to have a "life". Let's not even get into the amount they spend on recreational pharmaceuticals.
The other half do get it and are learning life skills like how to cook, how to fix stuff and how to save.
I do have hope for them.
Not a surprise. They’ve never bothered to educate themselves. “Snow days” are more important.
Not only did I have a mortgage at 27, I had just been honorably discharged from my 6 year military obligation, thus fulfilling a duty of citizenship.
The White birthrate. Not going to stop any other group.
People including myself were expecting a glut of used cars on the market once the Covid payments stopped and that didn't happen.
I’m so old I consider $200 a month to be a reasonable car payment.
I have a buddy that runs a dealership. He laughs at me. The low $400’s a month will get you a POS. A decent vehicle will be closer to $600 a month.
I wanted a new pick up truck. IF I was willing to go 6 years of payments I could get a basic model for about $700 a month.
That’s nuts.
I’m old...
But they still vote democrat.
I want them to feel pain. Lots of it, until the Rat Party is exterminated. /spit
we the people must give him the ability to fix this...
and make it known we won’t put up with any more malarkey.
They are not going to pay.
...in addition to their own bills...
They are not going to pay those bills either.
The process of sorting out the claims will be most - untidy. Whoever survives will get whatever is left. That will have very little to do with laws or lawyers or courts.
I’m talking about boomers who didn’t work hard (there are a lot of them) and think all their needs should be provided for on the backs of taxpayers....who have helped run up the debt to where it will take generations to follow to pay that money back.
They think they are in paradise.
That is true...I should have included that caveat.
“Just wait until Gen Z figures out they have to pay all the bills the boomers are running up right now...in addition to their own bills..”
Gen Y/Z already hates the boomers with the burning passion of a 1000 suns.
Just go to reddit and type in boomers... the seething hatred is palpable. America has been transformed, yet they blame the boomers instead of the fundamental transformers. (cough zero cough).
Boomers run the country. Boomer Marxist filth run the government. Boomers are a garbage generation.
Most Gen Zrs are good kids that will likely follow your path...but is it fair to bring them into this world already owing $100+K in debt that was spent on previous generations? Did generations yet unborn consent to being tax slaves to the dead?
I love it when you make a general statement and someone comes back with a silly pedantic comment that adds nothing to the conversation—rather points the spotlight on themselves.
Yes, you did that. Thank you for your service. You are ahead of the curve.
My father is in his mid-eighties and it turns my stomach to hear him actually say "well, I won't be around to have to deal with that."
That's not how he brought us up. I can't imagine leaving my kids (and hopefully grandkids) with my debt so I could live off the fat of the land.
Truly shameful.
yet too many older people voted for selfish reasons...too many were and are just stupid and too many are stuck on the rat plantation...
govt workers and their retirees really do not care about the rest of the country...
fact...nobody cares about anyone else for the most part.
Starting 1981, the debt started snowballing and has t stopped. Both parties contributed to the mess.
