I'm fucking SICK and TIRED of being fucked over and over by boomers.
They fucked us in 2008 with their overleveraged Wall Street cocksucking
Now they're fucking us again in 2020 just as we are starting to build some equity
i did college but even then, toward the end at 2006 i could see the problem and wished i had just gone into a trade zero remorse for fags who sit in an office all day

You're not gonna lose out on the 401k unless you stupidly cash it out now. It'll be recovered fine in a year. As for house price, who gives a shit? You already bought it, don't sell it then.

It really isn't that hard. Just be smart, keep improving yourself and your resume, and be someone other people want to be around.

How are you two years younger than me but doing nothing with your life?

I'll just come out and say it--blame the JOOMERS not the boomers
I would have done that too but 2006 when I graduated HS, the world looked like it was full of opportunities

Did I do something to piss god off? Really what the fuck did I do to deserve this.
This is a false narrative: it's rare for anyone to deliberately fuck over someone else. What we're seeing is the result of decades of government-driven market distortions in housing, finance, and education. We can vote out bad actors if we organize. The "something for nothing" voodoo economics needs to end.

We've been paying taxes to keep the boomers alive and it's obvious now that they will keep fucking over the country even while they are on their literal death beds. The entire economy was just shut down because some boomers got scared, and none of them care because they are on SS and medicare. Silver lining is that this may cause a housing crash, which will wreck a bunch of traitorous boomers and genxers

You all laughed at me, y'all laughed! Well who's laughing now? See you fags innawoods!
Joshua Wright
You cant really compare this to any other "ecinomic recession"
This is more like what happned to the UK during the blitz than it is like a normal recession.
Meaning once its over demand should return fairly quickly.
It will be much sharper than a depression/recession as we know them but the recovery will also be sharp.
>graduate high school @ 16 After no child left behind? Liar.
Ian Gray
it was obviously going to shit by 2006 and there was no iphone but i remember feeling fancy because i had this motorola q with hardbutton keyboard. great phone. then a blackberry for work which i didn't ditch for the longest time and people in the office were trying to tease me about it 2006 was easily the start of the end
Ryder Mitchell
I'm doing everything "right" in my life too. I'm still making six figures, still have a respectable job most would love to have.
But point is, my generation is going to have to survive two black swan events all because of boomers
Blake Peterson
Don't forget that "tech" in general didn't seem as miserable or dystopian at the time either.
Isaiah Moore
>doing nothing
I workout 5 days a week, take my dog on long hikes and spend every day with a woman who I love. We cook eachother amazing food every day. It feels like I'm living a life of luxury retirement except that I don't "own" anything, but instead of being old and frail I am young and vibrant.
I literally don't give a fuck anymore. My life is great.
Kevin Jones
I had a coughing fit last night. Too much dust in warehouse at work/ I smoke too much weed. Woke up this morning and my dad was keeping a distance from me. Told me to put on a mask. THIS IS WHAT THEY DID TO MY FATHER. Making every boomer a paranoid mess. Early onset dementia cases will skyrocket cuz of this corona bullshit. They even psyopped the kids to be less social than they ever were before! Fuck you satanic jews
Isaac Brooks
Who would want to graduate high school at 16? I had a blast in high school. Didn't want it to end. Plus, you really want to graduate college before you can legally drink? fuck that.
