All my friends' parents had multiple homes or lake houses back in the day. They weren't rich. Just normal middle class folk who "are doing well for themselves", as they'd say.
Lake houses with boats, fully furnished with nice old furniture. I don't know where you find nice furniture anymore. It's not something they make now I guess.
I'd stop at the neighbors' and there'd be some guy sanding his 28' sailboat getting it ready for a paint job. Some dude who didn't have to work that day apparently. I can't even imagine myself having free time to sand a fucking boat off on some lake property in Michigan. Yet the boomers did it.
I remember going to my dad's buddy's house on the river that he supervised the building for himself (who has the time and money for this?) and sitting in his project car (an old VW van he was refurbishing). His son had a 2x86 computer that he'd play text-based adventures on, or play simple games on with 5 1/2 floppies, and he had the Robbie the robot for nintendo and a bunch of accessories and stuff, and his mom didn't work. They just had this lovely home with a great big fireplace that spanned two floors and a kitchen that overlooked the river and looked beautiful and cozy on a cold winter day.
He was a mailman. A MAILMAN.
His son had Space Camp pictures on the wall, and his daughter had a CD player like two fucking years before I ever saw one in the wild again.
And I'd go visit other friends and their dads would buy them waverunners for their birthdays, and everyone was cozy and perfect.
I don't know what happened. This was something I personally witnessed. Everyone around me had a second house. And the houses they had were fucking NICE, and everyone's dad was just kinda a dude who maybe worked at the local car dealership, or was a foreman at the factory.
Now I can barely feed my fucking family while paying a mortgage and insurance costs.
I don't even have time to go to visit a friend across town.

Dude it's all pointless, hating on jews, lifting, working, self improving, going out with friends, getting women, everything. You will never make it and you will never live the life you thought you would live.
The younger generations are realizing early how fucked they are compared to the older gens.
Things weren't like this ten years ago, but they are now and they will only get worse.

Everyone under 30 that wasn't born with a silver spoon has completely given up on life.

Housing is so comically out of reach now I think the normalfag masses have finally just stopped caring. Everyone is living day to day, drinking and doing drugs, driving like they have a death wish etc. you see it everywhere now.

Where the fuck do we even go from here?

You see stupid that's called a generational wealth. Those people had great grandparents or great great grandparents and slowly over time they keep building up that wealth so their youngest generation and your father could have a very good life without having to work himself to the bone. The problem is Boomers import a bunch of third world which obviously lowered wages and wages were higher back then relative speaking and that just caused a domino effect where the Boomer spent all their money didn't pass it on to their kids because they're a bunch of selfish assholes and the wages went down because Boomers import a bunch of third world and now all these third worlders don't have that generational wealth so it just became common for nobody to have anything except for the older generation.

no mailman ever owned these homes.
why not post that mailman's house? you could have, but didn't.

sad old Millennials thinking they have a right to be a mailman and own a $33,000,000 house in Nantucket

you can find comfy $180,000 houses in Des Moines, Iowa and $74,000 houses in Florence, Alabama and so on.

You really can't compare physical danger to realizing you're on the shit end of the stick economically, there's a reason why a bitchy mom saying "there's starving kids in africa" to a kid who won't eat whatever inedible burnt shit she made that night has been a joke/meme for decades, because even the 6 year old who hears it knows it's bullshit. Nobody ever got anywhere by "being happy with what you have", if everyone had this attitude we'd literally still be living in caves eating raw grain, thankfully rabbi yeshua's influence only extends to and paralyzes a small portion of people generationally

A big part of it is mass psychological changes.
Any economist worth his salt will tell you that the economy is largely a psychological phenomenon.

The world just moved slower back then.
You didn't have 1 million people with 1 million followers each on Youtube, all poisoning their audience with different delusions and fear mongering.
You just had the idiotbox, so at least everyone was on the same page regarding propaganda.

Yeah, I went to family gatherings in big backyards with 50+ people. For birthdays. For Christmases. Nobody does that anymore. Not working class people anyway. Even if you have the money to put it on, and can carve out the time. What you really lack is the energy. The feeling of security & stability required to plan something like that. Most people would make an excuse not to show. Because they convince themselves it's an inconvenience. And it doesn't benefit them financially to spend an evening eating with family. It just drains their limited social reserves which they need to make it through work next week.

It's not just a money thing. Even poor people lived fuller lives 30 years ago.
People do not feel comfortable or safe in the new reality.

I should also mention that 4,000 sq ft home went into foreclosure during the divorce and sold at auction for $350k. A flipper bought it and sold it for $850k. And if I can't pull off a miracle, the exact same thing will happen to my grandparents' home, we will continue sliding down the jewish fun time playride until we're in a single wide trailer full of roaches with a hole in the roof.

You’re right. Things have gotten much shittier for the middle class.

Their decision alone wasn't enough; it took several complacent generations to enable it. Think back to all those starving African charity commercials and how boomers were quicker than anyone to spend their kid's inheritance "adopting" a nigglet half way across the planet, just because it made them feel good.
That kind of mentality isn't sustainable thus it wasn't parenting. Those same bastards are still kicking and breathing today! A lot fewer of them for sure, but they're still hanging on and in high places.
Those same generations (Silent-X'ers) brought into the bullshit holohoax and oriented their entire lives around it, and pay the privilege for doing so. The Western world destroyed itself just so "MUH NEVER AGAIN", think about that. Sacrificed our sons and daughters on the altar of diversity just because a few kikes screamed bloody murder for being made to do a bit of manual labour in a country they weren't welcomed in (and didn't leave).

>>510086250

Back then you did have Flip This House on TV and countless seminars on how to get rich through real estate, or cash in your "home equity" to go shopping and take cruises.

The economic problems we have now are because everything should've come crashing down further in '08 but instead there were bailouts and legalized accounting fraud and money-printing and only one guy - the guy who ripped off rich jews - went to jail.

As much as I'd like to just go full jew mode and burn all the bridges, I feel obligated to take care of my grandfather because he's too stupid to know better. Dementia and cancer are a nasty combo.

Technically, I could sell grandpa's house, evict my mom and siblings, pocket all the money and move away somewhere, but I'm not jewish enough to even consider that. We're a family and we're going down with the ship unless something changes. There is jewish behavior in every aspect of life nowadays, but it stops at my fucking doorstep.

you really gotta stop leeting them in, because the reason you dont wanna visit the US anymore, isnt because the land changed, its because of the people and how they behave. You letting them in will only cause the same to your country.

they were rich. they had millions in stocks and shares because they put their excess money into stocks and shares from the 1980s onwards and got a huge increase in wealth from the rising US economy. the might have only earned $100k a year in the 90s and 2000s but the stocks and shares give them millions in their 60s.

Pasta but I'll bit.
A big part of it anons isn't just that regular jobs paid better, they did but it wasn't the 10x that it seems, its that boomers were groomed by the prior generation for success who were extremely generous with what they had frugally and laboriously accumulated, and the boomers themselves have been doing the exact opposite and hoarding all of the family wealth and blowing it.
Look at it this way, if you aren't top 10% income earner, it takes about one lifetime to acquire everything you picture in the american dream if you start out alone with nothing. Boomers got babied and inherited most of those things. Then they hit the reset button and pushed their kids out to start alone with nothing, blowing inheritence, stubbornly planting themselves in high career positions instead of grooming proteges, if they finally do retire liquidating the family home and assets to buy a shack and a boat in Florida and blow whatever extra they have left over just trying to make the end of their life story ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, all while their kids are getting raped by Shekelstein and can no longer get ahead.
