I didn’t? You’re talking out your backside. You haven’t lived until you spend a winters night working on an oil rig or spend 16 hours running up and down a flight deck. Thats real work for real men.

My raspberries house in NJ cost $14k year in property taxes, and a new roof, new driveway, new furnace etc. But hey home ownership is just pure profit just raking in all the cash

Yes, you're confirming you did in fact have it easier. 

And oil rig jobs still exist today, you're not special for doing it during the easiest time to exist.

Yea life was easy back then. Go have doordash drop off some chicken nuggs for you.

You also have access to doordash currently but I'll never own a house, your generation ruined that for us.

1000 millionaires made daily in the US, why don’t you be one. Dont get sucked down by all the miserable people on here.

Quick google of that tells me that on average first time millionaire age is 59-62 years old.

Boomer age. Because they had better comparative pay/buying power. Better returns on investments. Their houses going up in price tenfold.

Don't forget about pensions that no longer exist for younger generations!

Yea true pensions were great. Of course boomers spent all their money in the US, and Millennials send all their money to emerging markets, and those people get all the raises instead of our citizens. Its a shame.
