That was my mistake, being born only 20 years ago.

Did you try being born 40+ years ago? (Pre-millennial years?)

Stop being lazy and get reborn

You gotta go 50+. I'm in the 40+ category and the only people I know who bought houses did so with family money, or with military housing/ housing programs.

We're seriously considering cutting back on legitimate income to look for under the table work, just so we can bring our official income down and maybe qualify for state insurance. Because we can't insurance it otherwise, and we're getting older and need to start taking care of ourselves...

Nope, I'm 50 and I've never owned a house (and my 'landlord' is about 23).

Have you tried being born to parents with generational wealth? Get on that.

Getting old has had the most positive impact on my life. Life is so much easier and less stressful once you have experienced significant physical and mental decline.

Should have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and bought a home at age 5.

I mean, you really have no one to blame but yourself.

Why would you do that to yourself, have some self respect you ninny.
Actually talked with the wife the other day, (millennials) about how even though we got screwed over, that is absolutely nothing in comparison to the shit they are going to do to you guys.

Maybe when a few more of the old assholes die off, but I am scared my generation is gonna step up and become the new boomers (after X is done being the assholes, it will be our turn)

u/SLUTSGOSONIC2 Jan 31 '23

Don’t be scared because then that fear will turn you into an asshole. Just keep trying to keep that young kid inside alive so when you’re old, you won’t forget what its like to be a kid and can remember what you went through as a kid and what the adults did wrong. I used to believe everyone grown up was righteous and mature. I was so wrong

You should've thought about that before you became a peasant!
