That's about the size my wife grew up in. Slightly smaller than I grew up in.

They were much simpler in construction too, compared to today.

All of which drives costs up.

My dad had nearly the same size at 795sq feet, but the 7 (!) kids managed just fine!

prices go up because people are willing to pay it

Funny, housing isn't optional and is driven by credit availability which has increased relative to income as interest rates have fallen 3% in the last 20 years. Immigration and divorces drive up demand for housing, especially 2 homes for every joint custody child.

If you think minimum wages should go up

In 2018 dollars, only the top 5% of earners have experienced an increase in real income since 1999. Wages, across the board have been flat for decades.

They didn't increase 3x or hardly at all, now shut up. lol

Now I have to move to a different place and do different things, compete with the whole world for an ever shrinking pool of opportunities.

Economy's the same though, everything's just as easy, of course.

I'm not whining, I'm fine but thanks for your fake concern. Typical patronizing moron. lol

And end the fed, which drives inflation.

I came from a poor family. My wife's even more so. My mother died from cancer at a young age. My father traveled for work. We raised ourselves.

Fuck you, you self entitled piece of shit. I've earned everything I have. I guarantee I worked my ass off more by the age of 19 than you have your entire life.

Fuck off with your jew propaganda and self entitlements.

>postwar boom

America was the industrial power of the world for decades after WW2. It's possible that the postwar boom was an anomaly that isn't coming back, not that female hypergamy will lower its standards.

A better housing situation to aim for is the one Whites had for millennia before the last century. Multi-generational households built up as more children were born.

Minimum wage in 1980 only had 10% more purchasing power than 2019. So if your parents worked 40 hours you have to work 44 for the same purchasing power.

The problem is you think things are necessities now that weren't then.

Cell phone. Internet. Entertainment. These weren't part of the budget then.

You wanna afford a house stop spending 300 bucks a month on shit.

Good goy. Go help them suck baby cock. Good goy.

Hiding behind your jew shill account...

Whenever boomers talk shit on younger generations, it's easiest to reply with "Yeah, you're right, the generations you raised, the environment you allowed to spring up around them- it really sucks for them. It's a shame they were born into this giant pile of shit that was left behind by... well, you know."

I was born into this nightmare world. Boomers and the generations around them were the greedy, hedonistic fucks who passively stood by while our country was ruined. They weren't taking to the streets to resist racial integration- they were too busy buying an old car to work on in their free time.

Boomers helped to create the conditions that Gen X, milennials, etc. were born into. Boomers were adults when fag marriage came around- I was a child. I had no power, no resources to resist that bullshit- the boomers did. They were aged, established, connected, and had the resources... but they were so well insulated from the nightmarish reality of the world they allowed to crop up around them, that it didn't matter to them.

And now as the consequences of all of their bullshit are manifesting in very visible ways, they want to blame it on the people who were born 20 years ago? Go to hell, just fucking die- maybe then some of the smart people in the younger generations can inherit their resources, sell their fucking jet-skis and golf clubs, and then put those resources to actually making America into America again. Till then, I guess we'll just have to tolerate their bitching.

Probably not for long, though- boomers are probably like 90% "vaccinated" by now. They're not long for this world, elderly folks who get these shots tend to die within 3-5 months (the first man to get a shot on 12/8/20 die like two weeks ago). So enjoy your golf while you can, you fat, slovenly failures.

Yeah when I bought my starter home, 228K, at 12.8 % interest , making the payment on the house $2387/mo on my 10.71/hr salary, I bitched and whined about how my parents had it easier. Meanwhile I worked all the time, drove around in 25 year old un air-conditioned cars, rented rooms, and made the best of it. What's your excuse?

It took me 5 years to save a down, then the market crashed 6 month after I bought. Cry me a river.

Weird... those opportunities were out there a year ago....

I am no boomer, just not a lazy dumb ass

One is 500k one is 120k. I got the money from not wasting on stupid rainbow flag company stuff like Netflix or Starbucks. I don’t waste money on partying or drugs. I saw you can make money off renting houses, so I took out loans with large down payment from other investments and paid it off renting it out.
