my boomer uncle spent decades saving for retirement. barely traveled. packed lunches every day. drove the same old car forever. always said he’d enjoy life later. he passed away with around $800k in the bank. his kids split it and burned through most of it pretty fast. crazy how some people spend their whole lives saving money they never really got to enjoy.

Nobody wants a 3,500 sq ft boomer house. Gen Z doesn't want it. Millennials can't afford it. Foreign buyers are gone. These homes are becoming stranded assets. And there are thousands of them sitting on the market right now.

the average millennial has a net worth of around $127,000 the average boomer at the same age had the equivalent of $206,000 millennials were told they’d do better than their parents the numbers say otherwise

BOMERS RETIREMENT DISASTER: In 1974 I saw the coming of the Baby Boomer Retirement Disaster. In 2026 millions of Boomers will be out of work in trouble financially….many homeless. I wrote two books for the Boomers and their families who wanted to prepare for this time in history. The two books are: 1: Retire Young Retire Rich 2: Who Stole My Pension? Wall Street does not like these books. Many who read those books have done well and/or are prepared. If you are concerned about your retirement years you may want to read and study my two books on retirement. Always remember the brain between your two ears is your best God-given asset, It’s never too late to enjoy a rich and happy retirement. It doesn’t have to be complicated. For years I have recommended real gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum as your foundation for your financial future. Please prepare and tske care. Rough global economy ahead.

A beautiful day for our second annual Pedal to the Pacers presented by @UplandBrewCo ☀🚲 Fans, Boomer and the Pacemates biked along the Indianapolis Cultural Trail to @GainbridgeFH before tonight's game.

your timeline convinced you AI is in a bubble. talk to a boomer above the age 35 for 5 minutes. most people don’t even know what claude is.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ kind of wild when you zoom out.

I read a lot regarding the disputes between the Trump administration and the European leaders, in respect to immigration issues, climate, Ukraine ect. Apparently the Trump administration has taken a position that disappoints and even insults the European liberal left elites greatly. However, I think the major problem is from European leaders who have been delusional for a very long time, it is already to late for them to grasp the true global politcs picture. 1. For decades, the European media and elites keep firing at Trump and his supporters. For ordinary people, it can be alright but this position leaves the Europe liberal left very little room to earn trust and importantly maintain dialogue with the US rightwing business and political class. 2. The boomer generation (born right after WW2) from Europe have always a very deep-rooted delusion that EU values made an European identity. The foundation for that is not concrete however. In fact, ever since WW2 and during the period of cold war, US and Soviet are the major driven force to permit and tolerate German unification and EU development. The education however, told Europeans that it is common desire among all Europeans for democracy and freedom that made a powerful Europe as it is. Trump administration again and again put the hard truth to them, making the European elites very painful. 3. The real threat to Europe's future still lies deeply within itself. The war and Trump only expose the fragility and magnifies its key problems. I consider bureaucracy and irresponsible policy execution as the prior one to address. Immigration issues, business recession, and even high costs of life, can all largely be related to the very slow policy processing programs, as well as incompetent and inaccountable policy execution. If only the bureaucracy issue can be corrected, much of inconvenience and troubles that we experience in ordinary life can be greatly improved, resulting in better confidence and environment for development. Unfortunately the election campaign here focus too much on superficial social phenomon, and many politicians advocate simple, superficial, intuitive but very unplausible solutions to current crisis. I found it very hard for the next German election. 4. The current pain and struggles for Europeans are hard but necessary. Because the society has been too much old-time path dependent with too much stranded assets and behavior inertia. Only enough pain and trouble can trigger sufficient reflection for reformation and more clear path for future. European history is full of active thoughts and tests, but the next move requires courage to farewell some comfort zones and step into uncharted waters. To make it very straightforward: I, and most Europeans disregard of their political beliefs, dont think US garrison troops in Germany is a notable reason for Germany's political disfunction and economic struggle. Examples like Musk's car factor in Germany, super-delayed airport built, notorious German train system, none of them are related to "sovereignty" and security matters. German and American relationship has been always in a way unlike what US with China. But Germany used to be very advanced under this relationship, which means the current issue sources from elsewhere.

Boomers have completely lost the plot Imagine being so divorced from reality that you start talking AI to a generation of students that started university when they thought the job market wasn't going to be horrible and effectively wasted 50k USD to be unemployed Lmao
