That boomers were the most lucky fucks ever. They could buy house(s) with a minimum paying job, they could walk into a store and get a job the same day, etc etc.

My dad's friend was actually a smart guy back then compared to 98% of the other boomers, he got a really good paying job, bought his own house at first, then another one that he RENTED to other people and he kept doing that for decades. When he reached 65 (retire age in my country) he sold them all. The cheapest house he owned was around 700k and the most expensive one was around 2.5 million.
According to my dad his friend had a passive income of $25k-30k from those houses alone, which means he was a multi-millionaire back in early 2000s and when he sold all of his houses he had a net worth of $20-$25 million. He didn't even handle the renting out houses part and he worked a full-time job because he would get bored otherwise, so he probably sits on $30+ million simply because it was so cheap buying houses back then.

Every single time my dad told me that he got his first apartment "when he was 18" back when I turned 19 pissed me the fuck off. Yeah it's possible nowadays aswell, but it's not even comparable.

Where the satanic concept of "suburbs" began. Fuck that. Once I make it I'm moving innawoods and buying as many Boomer mcmansions developments as I can just so I can bulldoze them and plant trees.
Suburbs and cities are Jew conspiracies to separate man from the primal power of nature and sever man's connection to the earth.
