has anyone called out their boomer parents for financially ruining the country?

my mom was asking when i might buy a house, which is a less than subtle hint that she wants me to attract a wife and give her grandchildren...well, i kinda went off on her, saying it's difficult when i'm paying into the boomer welfare system (aka social security/medicare/medicaid) that i'll never collect a penny from, all while getting screwed by the (((politicians))) her generation put into power for decades. she doesn't give a shit about the national debt, inflation, etc. anyways, she got very quiet and ended the call not long after. i hope she feels bad about what she did.

- she got a full ride to college from her parents, used it to get an english literature degree
- she married right after college, not having to work, other than some sporadic part-time teaching when she felt like it
- my parents qualified for some favorable mortgage in a developing area, very low down payment that their parents covered, and mortgage was $270/month. plus, if they fell on hard times, they could pay as little as $90/month without going into foreclosure, it just extended the loan.
- she divorced my dad, tearing the family apart, and i've never once heard her give a reason, other than she wasn't happy. of course she got the house and kids.
- she still didn't have to work, collecting child support and welfare
- she remarried twice, and eventually inherited money from her parents, and still barely works. the sad thing is, the portfolio she inherited in 2001 is no bigger today, because she kept extracting funds from it, and she actually thinks that's "good performance" because it hasn't gone down in 20 year bull market, a bull market specifically created by boomer politicians to benefit boomers.
- now she stays home, due to fear of catching covid. i think she has an abnormal fear of death, because she knows god will not be kind to her ill deeds.

Yeah I have talked about this a lot with my dad. I'm not sure boomers had it much better...

Dad graduated in 1980 with a degree in mechanical engineering, worked full time at a car wash and was able to pay off rent + tuition. His starting salary (in 2022 dollars) was $107,880 and rent was $1,078. His salary was 2.0 the median income at the time.
I recently graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and make $115,000 rent is $900. I also worked full time in school but have $36,000 in student loans. My salary is 3.5 the median income.

Average home price in 1980 was $170,000 with 30yr mortgage at 16.63% = $2,373/month payment
Average home prince in 2022 is $348,079 with 30yr mortgage at 6.25% = $2,229/month payment

the housing situation isn't comparable, interest rates were high for a short period of time, but they could be refinanced lower. no amount of refinancing is going to help someone who spent a quarter million on a townhouse at 3%.
more importantly, an inexpensive home in 1980 didn't mean it was a bad neighborhood with bad schools. If you live on the coasts and get an inexpensive home now, your neighbors are going to be degenerate trash.

Because that is the important part, she played her woman game perfectly. She is delusional and OP called her out on it.

I’m not the guy in question. We have id’s. Use them. HIS dad worked at a car wash to pay for college, and made that money as a starting salary when he became a mechanical engineer. His point was that this modern situation is worse, but not as bad as you think - and in your case, you need to actually think about your future and make a path forward instead of getting mad at boomers.

Everytime I try I get smacked the fuck down. You can only get a knife pushed through your heart so many times before you decide to say fuck it because it happens every.single.time and isnt worth it. Besides, you dont always get to "try again". Sometimes its a one shot stop. Im not good enough for a lot of things. Im really not, otherwise I would have them already. Given my charecteristics and behavior I figure its best to save them and myself the trouble and just not even bother. Im feverishly paranoid of people going through my stuff and women are uneasy arpund me as is, so its a no-go before it even takes root.
If I didnt have to worry about affording my bills in the meantime then I would go to school, but I cant afford them both at the same time, either I go to school and be homeless or I work and have a place to sleep at night.
