My parents are boomers struggling with money because they made retarded financial decisions for the past 50-60 years.

Do the Boomers have a GoFundMe?

>>512363816 (OP)
well they can sell their million dollar primary residences, move into an cheaper apartment, live off the remainder whilst still claiming the pension.

boomers fucked over everyone financially

I was doing great under Biden. I bought a second house by the beach, a boat and in January I bought a new Ford Raptor for my son. ICE arrested my whole crew in June and now I'm pretty much out of business. I can barely make ends meet and I have to pretty much sell everything I got under Biden. People have no idea how brutal things are right now, economically.

If the boomers hadn't voted for mass immigration to push up the price of their real estate and pricing everyone else out of the market I might feel sorry for them.

>>512363899
It's your job to bail them out anon.

>>512363899
>they made retarded financial decisions for the past 50-60 years.
that's like 80-90% of boomers. money was so abundant and easy to come by, they didn't give a fuck. now they're broke and in need of pulling up their bootstraps.

>>512365070
If they need extra income, they can walk into any old store and ask for a full-time job, CV in hand.

yeah those on the old age pension are 0.1% worse off than someone working. I guess I better start eating dog food too

Boomers have a median net worth of half a million dollars and a shitload of welfare programs to boot, they can piss off
>>512366121
One of their favorite retirement plans was to liquidate everything and drive around in a fucking RV, the fast depreciating asset you can buy short of a bushel of bananas. They seriously lived a life where you just randomly get six figure sums of money and now that they're not getting it anymore they're "suffering"

My father said save every penny so I did. By the time I was 12 I had so many jars of pennies my dad had to store them in the second garage where he kept his speedboat. Even on holiday I collected pennies when I came back from Fiji I had a pretty good collection I found at the private beach of the hotel we stayed at. Now I'm 30 and I own 16 properties in five countries. So remember, save those pennies or cents.

what are you doing for the generations that come after you? exactly. Well it's your fault.

>>512364118
i have zero sympathy for somebody in that age range that claims to be poor. you only had to exist and be vaguely employed and you should have a paid off house and savings.

>>512365001
They understand it just fine, they're just playing stupid. They have no problem understanding why their pension cheques are indexed.

>>512364297
Yeah, it's called a Pension fund. I give 6% of my paycheck, so boomers can continue to vote for commies to raise theri pensions.

>>512363816 (OP)
Because pension is a scam. Always been and will always be. It's the carrot to keep you grinding.

>>512363816 (OP)
Now even mainstream media is (disrespectfully) referring to them as boomers. As opposed to baby boomers. You did this /pol/

>>512368883

This is a bullshot story for retrds.

You cant "save money" because "money" is fiat currency that is always declining in value.

To "save money" you need to buy gold and silver and save that

They deserve way worse.

this
an entire lifetime to vote for good leaders and to make provisions for later on in life, and yet they chose to do neither and bank on gubmint gibs keeping them afloat
they can fucking sell their shitty bungalows at a loss, and spend their last few years being mistreated by Shaniqua in the retirement homes

>cost of living crisis
When did we start referring to “half the world’s resources are controlled by 1% of its population” as a “cost of living crisis”?

>>512363816 (OP)
They blew all their money on stupid shit and let kikes handle all their investments and assets...now all they have to show for it is a second mortgage, a 20 year old depreciated corvette, and a camper theyre too decrepit to fully enjoy....doing the pillows' work for us.

You kids have no idea how hard it is to pay for the property tax in a $1.5 million home, boomers are dying out there and you're laughing!

My biggest gripe with boomers is how they larp as their parents' gen now that they are older. They think they can get by with this because most millenials etc. didnt get to spend a ton of time with the older generation.

I spent alot of my childhood on a farm with a guy born in the 1920s. Boomers are such phonies honestly. For most of human history the "young people" were expected to be quiet and respectful of their parents. For example- there was no "young people" music till like the late 50s and early 60s. Then the boomers come along in the 60s and 70s with all this "hey hey we're the monkies our generation has something to say" shit. They smoked dope, moved off the farms, watched SNL, and listened to foghat and called their dad's "old foagies". And NOW that they are old they want to larp as their parents. It's a joke. They wanted to be heard when they were pampered teenagers... they squandered a very prosperous period, and now they want to be respected in old age. Textbook boomers wanting their cake and eating it too.

>>512363816 (OP)
theyll increase the payouts for the boomers by rasing the tax burden of the workers

> My parents are boomers struggling with money because they made retarded financial decisions for the past 50-60 years.
Mine to, the good economy shielded them from their numerous financial retarded decisions they made.
My dad withdrew all his pension and gambled it on a retarded failed building project rather than paying of the mortgage (which he could have done)

I'm still fuming at how retarded that was.

>>512363816 (OP)
Boomers make 1300€ per month on average from pensions alone in Germany, they're the richest demographic. "Altersarmut" is just an euphemism for greed.

>>512363816 (OP)
Half of them are divorced and divorce sets you back like 10-20 years.

>>512371557
They probably thought the great wealth increase would go on forever by their own hubris.

>>512371701
They think because the older generation has mostly died-out they are free to larp. But in textbook boomer oblivious entitlement they forget some of us were actually close with their parents' gen.

And dont get me wrong I had differences with my grandfather but we always got along and saw far more eye to eye than I ever did with the boomers. He mostly just wanted to teach me stuff. There was always a feeling of boomers teaching begrudgingly. There was always a slight feeling of resentment from boomers to their kids tbqh which is weird.

>>512371502
The clot shot was supposed to kill them all.

>>512363816 (OP)
the greatest irony is, in their older age, boomers are to ignored, abused, and moralized by the swathes of younger people they betrayed and foreign animals that they imported. The cold as ice zoomer that doesn't give a fuck about respecting their elders? He learned it from the boomers.

Disgusting generation gets to rot in the hell on earth that they created.

Boomers never had to survive on $20 a week in groceries, and even if they did, it would be equivalent to $165 today. So no, I don't feel bad for them.

>>512369095
Generations that come after me? I would need to be able to afford a house first.

>>512372272
For boomers and people who can't do math, if you made that $20 worth what it is today, they would have had to get by on $2 worth of groceries.

>>512371557
I love them and of course I want to help them out, but good grief, they were given so much and are left with so little.

>>512363816 (OP)
Hello fellow goyim! This is your daily reminder that it’s the Boomer’s fault that you can’t afford to buy a house and can’t afford children. It’s not the fault of the Jewish Bankers who print $trillions and import millions of migrants to keep wages down and housing in short supply.
Why should they get to buy a house 40 years ago for $10k when you can’t even buy a house for $400k? You should hate them.

>>512365317
Raptor you say?

>>512363816 (OP)
Listen, Boomers. You NEED to stop eating fancy toast and stop drinking coffee. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, MARCH into your nearest McDonald's in your best suit and tie and DEMAND to suck the managers cock for a job.

>>512372565
I guess people just get caught up in some kind of normalcy bias? That is, things will be like this forever? Maybe it's because I went full schizo looking into the financial world after being thrown to the wolves in the 08 recession, but it's clear to me finance moves in cycles like everything else. Do what you can to help your parents, but unfortunately, you will have to be the adult in this situation and tell them what's what.

If you're ab American boomer in a 2500sq ft home you have maxe almost 200-300 grand in equity since 2020. Combine that with 20-3000 free SSN $$$ and free healthcare (400 per on avg) and you get reality
>most boomer couples, even retired, are making 3-4000 a month off just the most basic stonk and entitlement gains
Now, if you were a lawyer or 150k+ salary boomer
>you make almost 4 grand a month in SSN

90% of people under 40 simply cannot buy a house or afford to live but Karen is still living large off the taxpayer.
>If everyone over 50 in the US died we would be saved

For me, it's people acting like it's some kind of Newtonian law that an asset is always a good idea to buy and you should move heaven and earth to do so.

If it cost more than two years of labour to buy a house then you got me fucked up, might aswell build your own then.

>>512373066
The only good thing about boomers is that most of them are terribly unhealthy so we won't have to put up with them much longer.

>>512363816 (OP)

Anon I was speaking with an Indian about his Indian boomer parents.

He was furious that all they left him was a dirty disgusting country. They have over a billion people yet nothing works.

He also said that his Indian boomer parents spent all of his retirement money on cow piss. Then told him in hindu to pull himself up by the bootstraps saaaar.

It's no wonder why Indian kids hate their Indian boomer parents. They voted for it all.

I'm going to ask black people about their black boomer parents next. It's probably going to be a similar answer.

Who the fuck isn't paying extra for less these days? The only people that don't care about the price of standard living costs are people making way above average income.
Root cause is we've all become too dependent on the global mafia system which now uses government to restrict people's rights to try and avoid the dependency.
And that power has passed through generations now to spoiled rotten characters straight from de Sade books.

I don't know that most of them even think about it at all outside of what's in it for them right now.

Healthcare will sustain boomers as their offspring starve in overpriced apartments. My dad is on his 3rd life-saving surgery - a boomer lawyer I know just bought a kidney cash.

No, unfortunately here the complications of the clotshot will empty most boomer coffeers, soon many will pull a 2nd mortgage
>so when they die the bank will take house as debt repayment
Their selfishness is matched only by their loyalty to jews/freemasons.

Looks like they need to pull themselves by their bootstraps and get to work

>>512363816 (OP)
Can someone explain how Boomers fucked us all over?

>>512375913
1945 - 1965 ; Boomers are born

1972 ; Nixon ends the Bretton Woods agreement and currency is disconnected from value allowing it to be printed to infinity debasing it on the way. Boomers are the first generation to get this freely printed debt currency (see The Cantillon Effect) .Boomers are 7 - 27 years old.

70s - 80s ; Boomers go to college/university and get grants to go, ie. they get PAID to go. Or they enter full time employment with a school diploma and a firm handshake where they are guaranteed work for life, health insurance, company car etc. etc. with training and support. Get 10-15% on their current accounts just for keeping currency at the bank. Merger laws were relaxed which ended free and fair capitalism. No such thing as credit scores. Divorce epidemic ends nuclear families.

1972 - 2001 ; Boomers ride the biggest most consistent rise in debt that has ever happened ever watching the national debt clock rise and knowing full well you cant just print money. They just get jobs with a firm handshake and credit the same way because credit scores didn't exist until 1989. Boomers were between 27 at the youngest and 56 years at the oldest.

2001 ; economy shits the bed and has never really recovered. Corporate bailouts become a thing. Boomers bail out their own corporations. Boomers are now 36 - 56 years old. Established. Home owners. Children. Families.

2008 - The debt binge has banks bankrupt and need constant bailouts to stay afloat starting with $700Bn. Boomers bailout their current accounts and pensions. Boomers are 43 - 63 years old.

2019 - Boomers have orchestrated this regime of constant bailouts to keep their pensions funded. Boomers retire en masse. Constant bailouts are needed to keep the economy afloat. Boomers are 54 - 74 years old

2020 - Fake Boomer media fuelled pandemic to "justify" more stimulus spending

2021 - Boomers require economic reset agenda

PERFECT RETIREMENT AGE

>>512375757
Boomer on life support well into their 120's years old.

>>512371701
Even worse, they had to endure Vietnam. 50,000 boomers died over the course of 15 years. That's almost as many white men dead as within the 3 days following the D-Day invasion. An incomprehensible tragedy that only boomers can fully understand.

>>512376088
Thanks bro. Saved!

>>512375913
Boomers, in their greed and love of materia, went along with every selfish and despotic financial plan of the jews - many times benefitting at the expense of their own offspring.

Most are lead-poisoned sociopaths who unknowingly swore fealty to satan.
