"Boomers seem very resistant to understanding that the living standards"....

[RANDYWILDMAN]

175. Neither of my Boomer parents went to college, had a 14k house at age 21

you can't do that today. That was their starter house in 1972. My dad was a teamster who worked at the safeway warehouse.

When my wife and I bought our first house in 2001 it was 140k

Now some perspective

Redfin says my parents starter house, which has had 2 small additions is worth over $500 k
My starter house which has had nothing done to it, but it was purchased by a hoarder. Worth over 400k

This kind of growth is not sustainable.

My wife and I are both Gen X and I agree with the take that Gen X is the last generation with a lot conservatives. (I see many people I know on facebook, proving to me how narrow minded they really are )

We grew up with Reagan and the first Iraq war and the birth of talk radio and the birth of the internet. My generation should be able to understand information and process but they don't and they should know better.
