s there at scenario whatsoever where you don't hate Boomers?
Even your own parents, how do you look them in the eye at family dinners when they themselves are part of this selfish scum generation that you despise to much?
As a generation as a whole, no I hate them for everything they are and what they stand for, which is unbridled greed, intergenerational theft and selfishness.
As for my parents, I never thought about the concept of intergenerational theft until my parents raised it with me. I have said this before, they raised my awareness to the injustice of the system and what I am up against. They are good people and they can't believe what their generation has done to the generations proceedings them but are aware humans are by default incredibly selfish and will never give up wealth and status for the fairness of others.
They are a small proportion of that generation who would like to see change

I'm beginning to believe the feeling is mutual between him and his parents.
His parents dislike him for being a worthless, whining POS that can't accomplish anything in life and have refused to help him until he shows any kind of work ethic and loses the self entitlement attitude.
Meanwhile he thinks despite his privileged upbringing, his parents and their generation have prevented him getting ahead in life and despite so many of his age doing much better than he is. He thinks it certainly has nothing to do with him not wanting to do a days hard work.
You are a pathetic sock.
What was my privileged upbringing you refer to?
I'd also like you to explain how many is 'so many of my age' given homeownership rates for 24-35yr olds is about to fall below 30% for the first time since 1950?
Wh a baby boomer would log on here and pretend to be a 20 something go getter is beyond me, I think it does go to the heart of what I was saying. The comments show you to be a typical boomer, greedy, selfish and disgustingly narcissistic
Your total worth boils down to being a faceless pathetic troll 👍

Fine fellow, salt of the earth- we love them at funerals.
Aw that's a bit harsh Golly - I just wants 'em ta get their shit tagether ...
'Tho must admit tha thought's crossed me mind that if both them shitholes woz ta snap off tha mainland 'n float off just a bit more out NZ's way it wouldn't break me heart too much (preferably takin' their Canberra wif 'em) ...

Can you explain to me exactly how boomers are guilty of "inter-generational theft"? In your case specifically, what has been stolen from you? I'm Gen-X - have boomers stolen something from me and my generation?
Normally theft is a concept based on the notion that you owned something - ie you acquired something through your own work / capital etc, then someone takes it from you - steals it. That's theft.
So what property has been taken from you that you previously owned? The only thing related to real estate that I can think of in your circumstances is "entitlement" - ie you feel/felt entitled to something - eg buying a house in a certain location at a certain price, and what you have lost is the ability to realise your (self created) sense of entitlement?
And even then how are boomers per se responsible for this? If you were a boomer - and you genuinely felt guilty of this "theft" , what could/would you do to give you your "entitlement" to a cheap, well located property back?
Chris? Do you understand what it means to be pragmatic?
*if a property is not correctly priced will it sell? *if everything and or some stuff was done by the parents eg financially, would an individual be having a greater probability of being self centred and @%* everyone and everything else? Is it easy to assume they had it all easy? Or will some individuals use the opportunity to build up assets and not be too overconfident with everything? *would a seller need to understand median house price? especially if for eg if the more expensive homes were selling consistently over time? *will someone who has a conservative approach no matter their generation (don't think of the incessant crap of bull versus bear stuff ) to their spending use the lower IR to pay off debt rather than increase their levels of debt?
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.

Take that bitterness to the grave kid. It is healthy. Embrace it.

Let me guess - your parents missed the opportunities of their generation by being lazy f***s, something that they passed onto you seeing you miss the opportunities of your own generation for the very same reasons.

Yes. Having made the same mistakes that you made, they too want something for free as a "right" instead of working hard.
Got it.
My only hope for my three boys is that they turn out nothing at all like Chris.

Its misplaced anger - it needs to be directed to policy makers at all levels of Government, rather than 'Boomers' per se. They've just been able to take advantage, for better or for worse.
'Inter-generational wealth transfer' would be a more accurate phrase than 'theft'.
If it wasn't for awful policy then there would probably be little to be upset about.

Should I not be entitled to have the same opportunities as you did?
By your own admission you purchased in Sydney in or around 1999, median house price were 5 times median house prices with interest rates at 6-6.5%.
Today Sydneys median house price sits around 12-13 times median incomes, that nearly three times greater than what you were afforded.
Only a narrow minded, greedy, selfish pig would be incapable of seeing the injustice of this. I feel I should be entitled to have the opportunities you were gifted, is that wrong?
