"Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, kido!"
(media.scored.co)
You know who’s to blame, right? Your parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and children. Not the jews. Definitely not the jews.
One is a “republican” the other is a “democrat”. They both think and act exactly like the jews on TV news.
It's retarded, but possible.
Some of the more "responsible" ones that tried to do good still acted just as stupidly, instead using said debt to send their kids to school. Except they sent their kids to out of state schools costing $25K per semester instead of the local state school or JC/CC for $1000 per semester. And then they continued to cut blank checks even as their fuckhead kids got Cs and Ds and dragged out their undergrad for 7,8,9, 10 years only to major in something retarded anyway.
If you know a millennial college grad without student loans, then 90% chance their boomer parents have $200,000 in debt for them, 5% chance the parents are just loaded, and 5% chance the kid is actually smart and avoided/paid off the debt quickly.
My ex's family used to steal baby bonus checks from each other constantly as the one kid got passed around (fucked up custody situation). Her Dad was decent; he sold us his old car for $500, which is the most financial support we ever got from any of them.
My own parents have plenty of money but expect me to do things for them for free. Any time they want something done with a computer, no matter how complicated or time consuming, they figure I'll use the skills I gained on my own just because I must love doing it. When I was a kid I was expected to help renovate their house, which I had no say over, and which they've sold without any consideration or compensation to me. By contrast, my mother flat out refused to babysit *ever* when it would have helped out but now that the kids are self-sufficient want to see them all the time and my father refused to let me learn his business, even as I was using my vacation time from my own job to work for him.
Frankly, I don't want their money at this point. I've got my life setup; it's not glamorous but I'm debt free and make my own decisions. It would take over a million dollars to buy a house in my area and anything less would put me hundreds or thousands in debt. Twenty years ago I'd asked them for money for a downpayment and they refused even a loan (even though their own parents *gifted* them the money to build a livestock barn and equipment), telling me "it's actually better to rent".
Well, it wasn't then but it is now and the last thing I need is to give them an excuse to meddle in my affairs or try guilt me into wiping their asses for them as they age.
I'm glad there are decent Boomers out there but I'm constantly disgusted at how often they seem to fall into the same selfish patterns.
Honestly I have no idea where the money went, since he never had big boats or expensive cars. Perhaps he had families world wide?
The only major mistake my dad made (really my grandpa) was getting off of the land and trying to make money with a career. I'm reversing that mistake as we speak.
Small scale farming with minimal external inputs is where it is at, and forget about growing cereals or corn, it's all about the ruminants (whichever you choose).
It was after WWII that fertilizers and such started to be used.
One has no money at all. That one tries to get money or free work from the children.
The other one flipped out when a small problem in my life leaked over to theirs. That one thought it might cost a tiny bit of their retirement savings ( It didn't).
I've been cut out of the one with money's will and another family members because I wouldn't apologize for pointing out their terrible parenting.
I've been on my own since around 6-7 years old. I did not see them in the mornings or after school. I had to make my own breakfast and lunch. Only dinner was provided. No help with school. No push into school activities. They gave me a beater car in h.s. and paid for some college. They still hold it over my head many years later. They did not teach me a single life skill. When I confronted them with this they whined about their bad childhoods. We had a few good family vacations... they think that qualifies as being good parents
*Well, everybody’s been there, and I don’t mean on vacation*
- bringing your own kids into your family business, even if it was a corporate job
- multi-generational households where the grandparents [boomers] help take care of the grandkids while the parents work and take care of the grandparents
- passing down the family home to their children
- multi-generational wealth
- staying married even when they werent 100% happy 100% of the time because raising children in a 2 parent household is the most important factor for the children's success in almost every aspect of life.
boomers on average did not do those things
the rest listed in the 4chan post boomers may have not understood the ramifications of what was happening, but they didnt object, they went along with it because it made them wealthier at the expense of their children/grandchildrens future
If you ever want to hear boomer hate, ask the guy with the handle of "CEO of Based" on Gab what he thinks of them. I've got a GOAT rant on the subject somewhere on Gab. There's a lot of adult children of boomers who know that they were completely fucked over by their parents and their parents' generation.
Most people have zero of these problems. This board has a lot of whiny losers who think their lack of skills, education, and motivation has nothing to do with their failures, and that they are somehow entitled to everything their parents or grandparents worked a lifetime for.
If you can't make a decent living in the USA, other people aren't the problem.
Not saying jews, niggers, and illegals aren't a huge problem, just that they are not what is keeping you personally from success.
Are you certain that you're not just acting like a faggot?
