Isn’t a lot of this just fear, or the instilling of fear into people’s minds for various purposes? A tale as old as time?

nobody is manipulating information for anything other than $. fox news will fear monger to pee paw and mee maw and whatever liberal dogshit kat kid consumes will do the same to lil maw and baby paw but it's just for clicks/views. fear sells to morons. NOT CALLING KK A MORON OBVIOUSLY!

not specifically topical but the same percentage of people own homes at the same age for all of recorded history. you hear people claim differently all the time. liars and dumbasses I believe.


Sure the trends are similar, but based on that chart it looks like millennials trend about 10% boomers at pretty much every age (with Gen X in between). Not earth shattering but seems like it’s something.

i think it just shows that younger cohorts in the us have higher incomes at the same stage in life than did older cohorts, and that gen z does not diverge from that trend.  there could be some compositional effects that are distorting the data as presented, but it's not immediately clear to me that there would be.

it's true that the cost of housing has outpaced inflation more generally, but gen z is still spending less on housing than did older cohorts.  americans are still getting richer.

Another fun thing in that chart is Gen X just pulling the ripcord and not working anymore

yeah, I think real wages are up over the last 40 years. people are doing good as crap. people just like to bitch about grocery costs and housing and whatever. also keep in mind stuff we see as required to live today was luxurious years ago. we're fast on our way to the Wall-E lifestyle but still being slim because of miraculous GLP-1 miracle drugs.

Starting in the fall I will have at least one child in high school for the next 13 years if they all go according to plan.

3 years from now I will have a run of 7 years. so 10'ish years until retirement for me.

Portland, Maine is a bucket list place for me. Keep notes of the cool places so I can get it from you when I go!

portland kicks tons of ass. I stayed at The Press hotel which is a marriott property and was cool AF. eat at Central Provisions.

then after state baseball we are going to kauai again. 5 nights at an airbnb in Hanalei and then 6 nights in connecting rooms at the Grand Hyatt. Gonna be so chill guys, after the absolute monster stress and nonstop go of baseball. I mean, relative chill when you have an 8 and 11 year old. but you know, still sort of chill.

Have been thinking about a family Hawaii trip.  How many points will I need for connecting rooms at the Grand Hyatt?  Any Marriott properties on the north side worth a crap that I can blow some points on?

shitloads, nope

The Irish have some similarities to us in that they drink excessively and fight constantly. But also some differences in that they fornicate with their own relatives. 2 similarities and 1 difference!

when I am in one of our offices I do not check into an office or conference room. I just sit wherever and if someone comes and kicks me out?

There are absolutely rec level teams for baseball, basketball, etc. The problem is that the kids that are GOOD don't want to play on those teams. all these "back in my day kids played outside!" glorification of the olden days posts don't really recognize how great kids actually have it today if they want to excel at sports. I did all that bullshit too, because there wasn't a better option. It kept the really good kids lumped in with everyone else. today those kids have options to play higher level against better competition and really it's not that unreasonably expensive for what you get out of it. it's a ton of practice, games, team building, parties, screwing around between games, etc. I can assure you my kids will grow to be old asses like us glorifying their childhood experiences too.
