You retards are missing the point RE Netflix - on demand entertainment is killing opportunities for the young. Before you had to wait a week for the next episode of whatever to come out, and the majority of TV was mindless drivel that smarter people couldn't stand.
Now we have a generation of young adults that spend their evenings watching netflix marathons instead of:
- thinking of new ideas
- studying new skills
- networking in social settings (this is the most important one)
- finding a long term partner
Boomers are absolutely right in this case.

There's some truth to that. I live in a Yuropoor country where the average salary is half of the average salary of Americhads but things are as expensive or even more expensive and my life is comfy as fuck. Pirate everything, cook every single meal and don't drink stupid take away coffees or monster whites. My hobbies don't cost any money and I just spend money on having some beers with ny friends at the local pub every friday and on one trip to Asia a year to coom (almost impossible to get laid in my country if you don't have a regular).

My subscription services are $55/month ($660/yr)For sake of argument, let's say I also spend $100 per month on restaurants ($1200/year). The down payment and closing costs for my house was $12.5k.

They're not wrong. Our government mandates inflation as a prerequisite for operation thanks to normalization of deficit abuse. By investing instead of consooming you're more or less guaranteed ample returns so long as you begin early enough.
However, the real problem is that normie Boomers don't know *why* they're right and will often chalk it up to retard "bootstraps" rhetoric instead of acknowledging the free money; normie Millennials dont want to listen and truly only want to consoom; and neither side of normies generally understands basic econ.

Yes this is true, they use to own craftsman tools and if it ever broke you could bring it back into the store and they would give you a brand new replacement no questions asked, they hired a really bad ceo and he emptied the company coffers. You could order the houses out of a catalog and they would ship the entire house with everything down to the nails included except for tools and you could hire someone to build it or paint by numbers style your own home. The stopped doing this because they offered financing and went the depression hit instead of evicting people they ate the cost. Very sad truly a great American company in it’s day.

Boomer TV used to be 30% ads. Not only is that wasting your time but it makes you spend money on useless shit. I used Adblock because I'm not a retard, so the only ads I ever see are when I go to a movie theater once a year and they disgust me. No wonder the boomer brain is so rotten, they were and are bombarded by ads their entire life.

The fact that every zoomer/millenial in this thread cannot understand what the boomer is saying does not mean the boomer is not right.

Let me see if I can help you bird brains think outside the box:

When he says "cancel the Netflix subscription," he's not just talking about Netflix, you bunch of twats. He's talking about all the dumb and unnecessary shit you consume every month such as Netflix, Hulu, spotify, Amazon Prime, and all the other subscriptions the Jew has you hooked on, along with trips to Starbucks, buying a Macbook Pro instead of a cheap laptop to run Windows or Linux on, eating at trendy restaurants instead of cooking at home, driving everywhere to go pick up friends instead of limiting trips and having an online game night once in a while, buying retarded shit like iphones, Apple watches, Sony Beats, Airpods, Jordans, whatever the fuck else... and generally spending money like a fucking mental midget. You young people think you should have everything your grandparents have now, without working and saving for it. You deserve to be poor. Think instead of blaming and making excuses. No one claims it's easy (it's not). You have to put in the hard work and learn to navigate life. You can buy a house. You can have the life you want eventually, if you are tenacious and clever.

Did boomers have to cancel their cable subscriptions to afford their starter homes, or second homes? Did they have to go without any form of entertainment, and just work sleep an work? No. No they didn't.

Which generation made McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts an international powerhouse by getting fast food everyday and getting dunkin donuts coffee every morning? All while having a home, and two cars? That's right! Boomers! And now millennials are supposed to cut out that buyin starbucks and "take away"?

Boomers are literally just entitled vermin that want to see you do nothing but work, sleep, and work some more for their bottom line. It wasn't bad enough that they completely jewed our generation like the selfish, greedy fucks they are, but now they want you to have nothing. No entertainment, and not even the smallest slice of cheese to make your worthless miserable cog life just a little bit less miserable. All for them! Back to work goy!

Remember, this generation got to have multiple houses, two cars, yearly vacations (sometimes 2 or 3, sometimes international), ate at fancy restaurants at least twice a month, raised 3+ kids, multiple pets, funded numerous hobbies, and threw fun parties for friends and family regularly. Very often all on a single income.

if you levermax sure
it is pretty much over with these new 6% mortgage rates though
which is a good thing since everyone will hastily lock up their capital in real estate and create a vacuum in more lucrative areas

Anon, the world is changing you better find some other side gig, like doing some marketing. I do think web3 is a growing space and KOLnet is looking for micro-KOLs that can help them provide a good marketing service.

Netflix says sharing your account with everyone you know is bad and im a good consumer so everyone i know needs to buy their own account. I got mine.

We wish to buy some of that prosperity for ourselves. When are you going to release a sufficient portion of the wealth to new generations to do that?

>> No.49765917

I mean its a fair point that luxury consumer goods were not a part of boomer life and their surplus income went to core expenses like education/housing instead of... luxury garbage. You don't need that stuff. Anyone who says you do is coping

Unironically good advice, specially if you are a gullible retard like myself.

>Education
University/College is a relatively new thing. Boomers literally walked into the factory, asked for the job and got it on the spot.

>Housing
Family wealth was a thing back then. The older generation is living much longer today and leaving nothing behind. It's a lot easier to buy a home if you have parent's with cash to help you get the down payment.

It's true that their generation didn't have as much luxury, but they also didn't have a culture that required you to have luxury to fit in. Fitting in is nearly impossible without spending on worthless luxuries. (((Our culture))) forces people into a life of luxury.

Similar boat, bro. Mine is only 60 but for most of my life he's already been in a state of learned helplessness and bitterness at the world that makes him depressing and exhausting to be around, and any contact from him always includes a request for money.
I haven't given him much to be proud of me for, but I don't have anything to be proud of HIM for either. I don't like him as a person, but I love him because he's my dad. Wanna give him a comfortable retirement but that's only a few years away and I barely make enough cash to look after myself. I don't wanna see his final years be full of the bitterness that he's currently holding, but even just the obvious advice of "just be there Anon, be there with him and spend some quality time together" is difficult because spending time with him and listening to him ramble about everything he hates is so tiring. (Why am I on 4chan if hearing constant hate is tiring? I guess it's because you guys at least sprinkle in some jokes to spice up the greentexts.)

How do we fix our broken parents when we're barely hanging on ourselves?

This is not a good thing. Most of the information you read online is not good for you. All you are getting is worthless information, or worse information.
