My parents in their 30s This would make a lovely second home for our family to winter in. Hopefully the garage can fit both our cars, snowmobile and ski equipment.
Me in my 30s I’ll never financially recover from this purchase.

Keep in mind, this is not the fault of the parents’ generation. It’s the fault of the rich who take more and more profit out of the working people.
It sure is also their fault. They have a house, they want the price to go up. There is no incentive for them to want more houses built. So they do not get built. So there are too few. Very simple and a big part of the problem. But sure let’s just blame rich people, as if that would solve every issue.
this is the reason. but it makes ordinary people look greedy and awful… and we can’t accept that.
despite all evidence to the contrary. half my my socialist friends who bought homes are now 100% NIMBY, because they want the value of their house to go up, and that ‘value’ trumps their socialist ones by a large margin.
because everyone should have housing, but not in their neighborhood! but no, it’s not THEIR fault housing prices keep going up, aferall they ‘made an investment’ and it’s not their fault that other folks aren’t as ‘wise’ as they are…
95% of the peopel here screaming about housing prices not being fair, would 100% support no more development the second they owned a home, because now they are on the flip side of the equation, and everyone pursues their won self interest above all else. the ‘rationale’ will just go from ‘housing is a right’ to ‘preserve the neighborhood character’.
It’s the fault of the parents’ generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.
If you went back before 2016 when politics were less culty and asked boomer what they thought about Preidents. They all would have said Reagan was the best. He is Neo-Lib Jesus, bringing the teachings of trickle down economics to the world. They had decades to move away from Neo-Liberalism.
Just throwing it out there that only a tiny fraction of GenXers were old enough vote in the 1980 or even the 1984 elections. I am in my 30s and only one of my parents was old enough (and definitely did not vote for Reagan, I have seen their Mondale button), the other first voted for President in 1988.
Also remember that only a tiny fraction of humanity lives in the USA
We are talking about U.S. President Ronald Reagan, so that hardly seems relevant.
I’m just expanding on your point in replying to @grue
You limit the culpability of the “parents’ generation” in electing Reagan, I limit it further. The “parents’ generation” is bigger than one jurisdiction.
Generations are limited to countries or handfuls of countries. Cohorts are created by shared experiences and those experiences are rarely global. For instance in Russia the Gen X equivalent is called “the last Soviet children” and as you can imagine their experiences aren’t exactly the same as those who make up Gen X.
GenXers in their 30’s were not buying secondary ski houses, we were getting buttfucked by recession
Then who exactly is this meme about?
Guessing boomers and millennials. I know plenty of millenials with boomer parents. And a lot of miilenials are still in their 30’s (and fucked)
Did… Did you not read my original comment?
I think you’re inferring a tone that is not there. Demmed textual interface
No tone, just wondering why you reiterated the part about millennials in their 30s back to me.
I’m a Millennial, but my parents are Boomers. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
So it’s your fault for Trump?
Electing… meh. But not killing and eating him and his friends when he showed his true face? I’ll never forget!
