You didn't work hard for shit. You accumulated wealth by working some easy as fuck job on a single income with a high school degree (maybe not even this), if you did go to college, it was actually affordable and you did not end up with the eternal damnation of loan debt, and then you retired in your 50s with a pension and cannot comprehend a world where this opportunity doesn't exist anymore.
Your parents worked hard, your grandparents worked hard, and your children and grandchildren all work harder than you.
>work for 20 years
Meanwhile Gen X is still actively employed and has been for over 40, and theyre probably gonna work until they drop dead. My father is gen x and is still busting his ass and is several years older than my grandfather was when he retired with a full pension (not holding it against my grandfather though because he's not a blind retard, uncharacteristic for a boomer). My mother is Gen X and is in her mid-late 50s still busting her ass every day, her bitch mother retired in her 40s. Those are your kids that you took a future from, and the future will be the same for millennials and zoomers.
And then when you point this out, they'll usually go apeshit and start talking about Vietnam. Well, 70% of yall chose to be there in the first place and were not drafted. Plus gen x, millennials, and zoomers had Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran to worry about too.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
that’s why it’s so important to build your own business if possible, otherwise you will likely work 40 or more years of your life away with very little to show for it
I don't think I know any boomers that retired early. Most of the people my parents are around were all working class. Most of them worked longer to maximize their 401k's. They're out there though for sure.
I have not heard Vietnam brought up in a long while. Vietnam, the boomer war.
Gen X suffered thru the following: Iraq 1, Iraq 2, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Somalia.

Blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade they will never sit... damned are those who uproot trees because it blocks the view from their porch.

I’m sorry. 20 years? I worked actual jobs since I was 12 years old. I’m 40. Spent 10 fucking years dragging my broke parents through life. They both expected their kids to retire them. Fuck these people.

They're all the same. My mom left my dad right before he died. He never updated his life policies and she collected all the money. She was retired already with a pension and social security. She kept the money, giving nothing to my sister who is struggling or myself. She just told me she's going to sell their large home and travel until she dies. Burning through any generational wealth that would be left. Her father left her with an apartment building, 2 houses, and hundreds of acres of farm land that took generations to amass and it's all gone in one generation. I fucking hate boomers.

You won’t ever be done. The “Social Security Administration” will be bankrupt and shut down completely sometime before 2030. And unless you maintain identical trades on the market to Nancy Pelosi, you won’t make enough on your private investments to beat inflation.
I believe there’s a service that *will* monitor her trades and make identical sales/purchases of stocks for you, honestly. Not sure how it operates or what their cut is.
I do know that someone did a study of following ✡Jim Cramer’s✡ advice compared to “literally buying and selling stocks at random” and he came out worse. The “Inverse Cramer” index is second only to Pelosi on the market.
Yeah I was thinking about that too. I started doing landscaping shit when I was 10. Just digging fucking holes all day. To your point, both of us are already 30 years in.
"work for 20 years" is most likely a Millennial. We should hate Boomers, Gen X and Millennials. At minimum. Though Zoomers are pretty retarded too, so we should also hate them. Gen Alpha knows barely anything outside of digital world, which makes them terrible. Really, only Gen Beta is OK.
