Seriously how do you fuck up as a boomer?

Gambling, booze, complacency, many things

These boomers love working. They think they are being a disservice if they aren't relaxing in their final years.

The main predictor of monetary poverty is mental poverty. There have been stupid people for time immemoria, OP. You're likely one of them, if you can't understand this fact.

Without knowing this lady's backstory, I'd say her husband probably died which forced her into this part time job to supplement her pension. I feel sorry for her, she looks very sweet.

Why do people always assume that old people who work do so because they're poor? A lot of old people are lonely as fuck. Either they dont have kids or their kids live very far away. They'd rather work some bottom tier job than sit at home all day watching daytime TV by themselves

Most boomers aren’t actually smart they just had a rising tide lifts all boats on their generation. Most don’t have the genes to preserve wealth which is why you see them returning to their true peasant state dooming their families to a life of servitude where their genes demand them to be.

Of course it is, but it isn't always by choice. You're going to grow old too. Your kids are going to have lives of their own. A lot of your friends are going to pass away long before you do. Your wife might pass away long before you do.

Shitting on old people for being lonely is subhuman behavior

there are many better places for old people to socialize than working retail though. i volunteer at an animal shelter and the few times i went there during daytime hours it’s filled with old people who are obviously there mainly to get out of the house and socialize

The closest thing to a hobby you’ll find with someone over the age of 40 is fishing but for them it’s just an excuse to get drunk. By your 30s nothing is interesting or fun anymore. You can tell this site is a bunch of little ass zoomers “Why isn’t she at home playing vidya games or coding or skateboarding like I do!!” lol just wait pal, see if you’re still even remotely passionate about anything at 30. If you are, like this anon says - you are probably on the autism spectrum. You’ll find one day you’ll be looking at your steam library and going “damn this sounds like a chore. I’m going to go do yard work” or if you’re low impulse control type “I’m going to go get fucked up on pills and booze”

And eventually you’ll get too old for yard work and drinking so you’ll go get a job as a Walmart greeter or rant about politics all day. I don’t see fuck ups, I see people who literally have nothing to occupy their minds so cashier it is

High impulse control and altruism is genetic. Sorry to break this to you. Even if you somehow become a rapper or basketball superstar or XRP millionaire, your offspring will inevitably regress back to the ghetto

It’s mostly of cluster of genes. But yes everything is genetic. We all return to the mean in the end. https://fortune.com/2017/02/28/rich-gene-billionaire/amp/

Millenials and zoomers can fully emerge themselves in the internet to the point where their online lives are more real than their real lives. Boomers lived too long in the real world to be able to do that, so they are stuck in the conundrum you described. Thank god for the internet making boredom a thing of the past, although there are obviously a lot of downsides to that too like developing tiktok brain

Don’t tell the troons that the descendents of the “landlord class” that had their wealth confiscated by the first instance of the Chinese Communist Party have all retaken their positions at the top of Chinese society and that the Peasant revolutionaries have reverted back to serving sewer sludge as cooking oil - losing their positions as major party officials in only a few decades.

If you start getting bored with life at 30 then you're just a boring as fuck person, or you fell for psyops and got way too jaded. There's always another skill to work on, place to go, cool person to meet. This world has many lifetimes worth of highly novel experience and knowledge in it. 30 years old is scratching the surface.

[Anonymous No.57631376]

>>57629925
true, lots of working old people are just bored af and want to feel useful. If extended families and homeschooling were the norm they'd be spending that work taking care of their grandchildren and passing down their culture and experiences. Instead grandpa works for walberg and the kid gets lectured by silverstein
