Nothing wrong with it, just the way it is.
Grandparents live to be grandparents because there was evolutionary value to have people live that long. That value is in helping their grandkids survive and reproduce. They seem to have less evolutionary value now that the kikes have taxed them into poverty.
That used to be the norm. Problem is our parents(Boomers) leveraged the fuck out of everything they had so there is nothing to pass down, only debts to settle.
They didn't just leverage what they had, they borrowed against a future they will be dead and gone long before it arrives.
This is correct
In England in the 19th century, in the upper and middle classes, it was expected that the grandparents would pass down wealth to the parents, who would pass it down to the children. Many "gentlemen" never worked a day in their lives -- they lived on inherited wealth. It was a scandal if the head of a family line squandered the family wealth, thereby cutting off the inhereted revenue stream.
There is value, but it is almost all in preserving tradition, not passing down fiat.
but it is almost all in preserving tradition, not passing down fiat.
People have to eat and have a place to sleep...just saying there's valute in passing down tradition doesn't solve that basic problem.
With housing being unaffordable, everyone is renting and, guess what...now apartments are skyrocketing...
The reason everyone hates boomer advice, even from "good boomers", is that it seems to ignore basic reality. One, as a society we're not even passing down tradition, and...two, ignoring that, even if you are, you're passing it down to a couple younger families spitting a shitty rental house if they're lucky.
It's like when I tell older folks there's hardly decent jobs out there and they tell me I should really be looking to start my own business...uh...ok? What bank do you want me to rob to be able to do that? Most people aren't trust fund kids unless I'm hugely mistaken.
Yup forth turning shows they have value in lasting longer than 4 generations to pass information down.
How much television watching does it take to fantasize that the boomer generation received gifts of homes, $$$, etc. from their parents?
Most boomers have elderly parents still living that we are assisting - that's where our discretionary money is going. Additionally, boomers' grandparents scraped lives together out of a depression and war years - if there were scraps left over (almost never) they were whittled down into tiny pieces distributed among multiple children/grandchildren. Then, as now, many mortgaged and over-extended themselves an overly optimistic lifestyle so their children could live the "good life". Maybe some "1 percenter" families passed something on, but throughout history most generations received nothing from previous generations other than life, training and direction.
I doubt if any of these complainers would ever care for an elderly parent without full payment for doing so.
Thats becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays, all one need to to become elderly is mark time. Sure the incredibly useless will die a little sooner on average but we have overcome nstures plan to the point where being old isn't a badge of honor, a testament to the individuals success
