It still is plenty of people manage to actually make something of their life instead of doing frick all their entire 20's and having nothing to fall back on
OK BOOMER
I wonder how long people will continue to say this for as things decline. I'm a millennial homeowner but almost no zoomers can afford a house and gen alpha will probably be completely locked out of the market by the time they're of age. If I were a younggay and someone acted like to me I'd probably want to stab them. Boomers used to buy a home at the age of 22 as a factory worker with no education, and now a zoomer in the upper 10% income bracket for his age group can just barely afford the same living standard, and again, it gets worse every year. This hasn't been an ignorable issue since 2020. I just bought my house in 2019 and thank God for that.
boomers don't care about anything but hedonism. they know the human race is fricked deep down but its not their problem anymore in their heads.
Yep. Lived with one at one point. A few weeks into it the mask came off and if he wasn't your best friend that day he was a huge butthole. They also tend to embellish their stories. They're the heroes every time and it's so obvious they're lying.
My family is really understanding and caring and are trying to help me.They got screwed with housing through their lives too, so they understand the struggle. But it is pretty infuriating to see all these 55+ communities popping up around me with affordable prices. I have to regularly filter them out when searching for houses because they pop-up as some great options. I don't understand how that is legal to discriminate by age. Gen X is a bit more sympathetic it seems like. I hope millenials (like myself) and zoomers don't pull the 'kids these days' crap with younger generations.
Here’s that starter home boomers bought after working for a few years out of high school
You don't even need to do a comparison - the entire concept of starter homes doesn't exist anymore.
They still exist but are now called “cash only sold as-is fixer upper, just needs foundation repairs and a new roof, only $160,000 🙂 “
Don't spend the first 8 years of your life paying off a brand new Mercedes or BMW you can't afford, and you can save enough for a home pretty easily. But vain materialism is innate to Gen Z and A
>Don't spend the first 8 years of your life paying off a brand new Mercedes or BMW you can't afford
lol the ignorance
Car prices are insane too. I bought a new car in 2020 and it increased in price, in used condition mind you, by about $5k within 2 years
You're a brown living beyond your means or a hick in a $60,000 truck. Just because your car briefly appreciated due to Covid supply chain shock doesn't mean that's a wise financial decision.
>I NEED a brand new car, especially from a luxury brand
You don't.
Nice fanfic
Still showing your ignorance. I bought a new car for $15k. I bet I could sell it for $22k used right now, maybe more. Go look up used and new car prices right now.
homie what I go to food banks and use the same phone I bought like 7 years ago
You have no fricking clue what you're talking about
Aka "attn Blackrock and foreign investors, buy this and either flip it or bulldoze it!"
>You have no fricking clue what you're talking about
Sure I do. I'd bet you have a lot of debt you acquired in a moronic, shortsighted way, or your fritter your money away on stupid bullshit.
The only debt I have is the year of college I took to get a business degree and another year of trade school.
ok boomer
Good comment
>you must sacrifice your youth so you can grow old and die in good style
that makes no sense.
Did smoke really have that much of an impact on how old people look? My God, man.
I live at home cause I take care of my parents. In exchange I get the house, although I'll probably be like 65 before they croak
I thought he was 35. Im 29 and moved back in at 25 and now I have 245k in cash and will buy a home next year without getting israeliteed as much for a mortgage. I get shit from older people who think im a piece of shit loser for doing so though. I tell my parents they'll be well taken care of in retirement.
>I thought he was 35.
Pretty sure he was 34 in the season he moved back in with his parents.
well either way the only bad thing about him moving back in was his mom catching him jerking off.
His mother caught him jerking off the year before he moved back in with them. They caught him out for having sex in their bed after he moved back in with them and they grounded him.
This is commonly said on Cinemaphile but I don't think I've seen it once in real life.
Vast majority of the time the successful people will be living on their own and while they're spending money on rent they'll still be saving a lot. Unless you're born in the USA the really successful people will often move abroad to USA, Switzerland, Singapore etc where the best job opportunities are.
Meanwhile most people living with parents are messing around in minimum wage jobs not really getting anywhere in life and despite avoiding paying rent make no money cause they spend it all on crap.
Yeah I think this is a lot of it. I don't know a single person who is on track to live at their parents house by 30. Like it's just nuts what did you do with the first 12 years of your life? Even at 18 it's easy to live independently in a shared house or studio flat
>Even at 18 it's easy to live independently in a shared house or studio flat
LMAO WHAT
In most of America, the median rent is between $1000-$1200 a month for two bedroom. You have no clue what you're talking about.
America is the biggest tutorial country going. Average college grad earns $50k+ at 22 and decent jobs pay over 2x as much as in the UK where I live.
If you can't make something of yourself there you'd have even less luck elsewhere.
Living at your parents house is a shared house.
NOOOOOO! JUST BECAUSE YOU SHARE IT WITH OTHER PEOPLE DOESN'T MAKE IT A SHARED HOUSE! YOU HAVE TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO LIVE WITH TOTAL STRANGERS INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD BECAUSE... YOU JUST DO, OKAY???
I know Cinemaphile is stereotypically for losers and all, but goddamn. You guys don’t have a single buddy you could be roommates with?
First off:
"Hey buddy, how about instead of living for free or significantly reduced cost, you pay more money to come live with me?" is a hard sell.
Two, the amount of timing required for that is insane. You really think there's just vacant two or three room apartments sitting around waiting to be filled? What you're getting is you subletting from someone to fill in the guy who left because the place is rent controlled and nobody wants to lose it.
You're living in a world 20 or 30 years out of date and criticizing everyone else for not living in it too.
I live near the Denver airport and there’s a shitload of new condos and apartment complexes out here. Guess it depends on if you’re willing to live out in the suburbs.
I have no idea what the housing market is like in fricking Denver. Have you actually looked up the prices of these places or are you just assuming their prices? Also multiple bedroom condos are rare and regular condos are very expensive, why even bring that up?
That doesn't make the situation good just because one place is slightly less shitty.
>That doesn't make the situation good just because one place is slightly less shitty.
The situation is easy in the UK (and we still have endless moaning).
But complaining about it when the average college grad is on £40k+ is straight up insane. This is above the average starting salary for Oxford grads. You genuinely have no idea how good you have it.
I think a lot of people here just aren't in touch with reality. House sizes in the USA have drastically increased over time which suggests it's actually easier to buy property now than anything.
>it's actually easier to buy property now than anything
you have entered the SPIN zone
No other possible explanation as to how average size has increased so drastically.
If people truly couldn't afford houses they'd just build smaller ones or if even these weren't affordable flats would become the mainstream living situation.
The crap posted here makes no sense. The reason you live with your parents isn't boomers or whatever it's because your job is shit and your awful with money, planning etc
>to how average size has increased so drastically
that's what happens when I see BIG breasts if you catch my drift
>If people truly couldn't afford houses they'd just build smaller ones or if even these weren't affordable flats would become the mainstream living situation.
And you can't extrapolate this logical process to understand that people live at home because they can't even afford to live in little shitbox flats and would rather live at home than struggle to pay out the ass for less? have a nice day moronic twat.
>If people truly couldn't afford houses they'd just build smaller ones or if even these weren't affordable flats would become the mainstream living situation.
You absolute fricking moron lmao
Those houses aren't being bought by people to live in, they're being bought to use as leveraged assets by corporations, foreign investors, and boomers trying to flip them to other boomers. Construction companies don't build affordable housing because they don't make as much money from them. You have such a naive view of housing and economics that it's actually kinda cute.
I can't be bothered with this crap, believe what you want.
I've had no issues affording a house in twenties in the UK and am planning a move stateside or Canada if I can't get USA with the very cheap properties being a significant part of my decision.
Lot of people say it's impossible here as well but it's always people with crap jobs and no responsibility.
>I've had no issues affording a house in twenties in the UK
Cool larp
Lol not everyone on Cinemaphile is a complete loser I'm afraid. I could also retire modestly right now and I'm 26 🙂
Boomers never had anything like bitcoin and I highly, highly doubt I would be in the same position if I was born then.
The inherent flaw here is that you’re squeezing out the middle class that used to exist and own homes with just a normal job.
I earned slightly above the average UK salary (admittedly all ages) when I got a 90% mortgage
Yes, but you’re also bragging about making a nice nest egg from crypto. Boomers from the 90s were able to afford typical 3 bedroom/2 bath houses without that.
canada is legitimately one of the worst "1st world" countries in the world atm if you're not rich.
>The reason you live with your parents isn't boomers or whatever it's because your job is shit and your awful with money, planning etc
This is true for a good portion of first world Cinemaphile.
Yeah I would never judge third worlders for it because they play life on hard mode. In the USA and western EU though it is 100% your own fault.
>Yeah I would never judge third worlders for it because they play life on hard mode.
It is very difficult playing with spears in huts, yes.
>House sizes in the USA have drastically increased over time which suggests it's actually easier to buy property now than anything.
>all the housing being built is massive mcmansions that only boomers want so they can buy and flip them for more
>clearly this means housing is MORE easily affordable now
what did he mean by this
This, millennials complain about being unable to find jobs too when there is a golden job market out there (even CNN says this). My local Wendy's has had a "now hiring" sign out front forever and when I yelled at the mexican lady for taking too long with my baconators, she said they were short-staffed. Millennials are just lazy and don't want to work, it's as simple as that. Back in my day we knew the value of elbow grease!
>Houses being built bigger suggests its easier to buy property
>I think a lot of people here just aren't in touch with reality.
I'm replying to one of those people now as a matter of fact.
If you backpedal now it may be early enough to convince us you were trolling.
Sharing a two bedroom apartment that’s $1800 a month or so shouldn’t be that financially difficult for two 20-something guys.
Cool but you're not finding a $1800 a month two bedroom dude lmao that's the price for a one bedroom apartment
You have no clue what you are talking about
I’m not denying that the Denver metro area is expensive, but not everyone from the United States in this thread lives in a pricey liberal city. I think it’s healthy to move away from home for a bit even if you have to live with a couple of friends.
the average rent for a shoebox in leafland is 2k+.
Good, don't listen to those older people. They didn't have house prices doubling or even tripling in cost within three years of their early career when they were buying houses.
i pointed out some of the cost changes between my childhood and my adulthood and compared them to the same timeframe my parents grew up in
they finally realized how fricked we are right now. it took ages to get them to even listen to me, and longer to find the exact right way to frame it, but that direct comparison finally did the trick.
Well if only us millenials and zoomers would stop buying that avocado toast and coffee, pull us up by our bootstraps, and get a $100k raise every year, we'd not be complaining all the time.
I once spent literal hours creating an entire presentation to explain this to my mom. I did meticulous research, created fully sourced charts and graphs, the whole deal. I basically treated it like a final assignment in college
My mom just went "Well, things were hard for me when I was young too, you know." and completely refused to listen. Boomers are literal brainrotted morons.
>They didn't have house prices doubling or even tripling
If only that was the only issue.
And it was only when the boomers got tricked into thinking booting your own blood out onto the streets at 18 was perfectly normal.
I miss living with my mom. It was nice going out for lunch/dinner and going on walks together. Now I barely see her =(
>family is everything respect your parents!
>what do you MEAN you didn't move your lazy ass out at 18 you fricking worthless parasite how dare you continue to live!
does society want us to have a good relationship with our parents or neglect and ignore them for success and wealth, only to guilt us with propaganda about older parents not having good relationships with their kids? why have kids if you just want them out of your life at 18 anyways? why did you bring life into this world only to kick it out at the soonest opportunity? just didn't want to nut in a condom?
When I was 17, my dad would literally ask me how old I was all the time and then go "Exactly. Better get ready, it's only one more year!"
He literally thought kicking me out into the street without a dollar to my name as soon as I turned 18 was a hilarious joke that he would make all the time. Boomers are a generation of literal sociopaths who demand respect while giving zero.
I had a black friend in school whose parents basically abandoned him at 18, I guess he at least had a dad growing up, unlike most nogs. But his parents let him know his entire life he was an unwanted mistake who was living there on borrowed time, and then when he turned 18 they went on vacation without telling him, and left him a note saying he needed to leave the house and make his own way in the world by the time they got back a month from then. Only thing he could do was couch surf until he found a job at a convenience store and got a shithole apartment in the hood.
all the houses around here are being bought by pajeets and i shit you not 15+ of them all share one house. all young men too who look like clones of each other.
Kek, 20 pajeets just moved into a single house on my block.
>rural
>internet
cool. what is this thread about?
hahaha look at how outrageously fat he is! comedy gold!
most of these threads are just people bragging and or larping about being successful and shitting on anyone in less fortunate circumstances. like a literal facebook comment section full of actual boomers. its just demoralization fuel. the good ole boomer mindset will never die as long as sociopaths continue to exist.
these threads are a death cult
elucidate for the class
yeah those lazy entitled kids should just go into the place like they own it and give the manager a firm handshake. no excuses.
What kind of lowlife frick still lives with his parents past the ade of 22. You are no different than a leech.
