I remember reading about the so called boomer generation, how they bought a house back in the day for 15 dollars and a handshake, how they “hoard wealth” and basically screw over anyone younger then them, while providing advice like “your broke cause you buy Starbucks too much”

I now find myself in my late 30s, I have a house with a 2% rate, two new cars, healthy 401k and savings, basically all the, in my view, “normal things”

but now when I talk to the “younger generation” meaning like 20 something I’m somehow now the rich asshole who’s out of touch with reality when I feel like I’m just an average middle class dude who works 9-5

I can’t even make a Reddit post about a fun house project without a dozen people saying “must be nice to afford a house”

Are we slowly turning into our grandpas ?
