i feel like by 'groceries' what they actually mean is 'fursuits, horse cock dildos, soylent, and bathtub hrt'

groceries are stupid expensive yeah but whaddya do aside from food banks, i can think of three different nights around my area two of which i can go get a hot meal if i wanted (dont, im only at them because im working with someone who ... well thinks he needs them, the fat fuck) plus a morning one i work at myself. you can always get fed, something. we can do you a toastie or half dozen and a cuppa but if you want a full roast mean ya need to go to foothills.

meanwhile the media gen z-ers and millenials are whining about how 'boomers' have all the savings and wont give up their house and money and move into a retirement home (which is designed to suck up the last of the oldies money before they shuffle off the mortal coil)

I can sort of understand the sentiment, boomers as a generation hate and resent their kids to the point they kneecapped them at every turn. They taught them no skills(most newer generations can barely deal with their emotions), criminalized healthy kid activities like playing outside (calling cops on kids being outside), hyper inflated their house prices out of pure greed (fed reserve plays a part too, but lets be real, boomers are just looking for a quick get rich scheme). Then they turn around and demand subservience from the new generation so we can endlessly bail out their shitty decision making. Why is the onus on the new generations (4 and counting) to bail out ONE generation who has done nothing but fuck over the new generations at every turn?

And before people tell me im playing into the jew division game, fuck you. These boomers had a choice, and they chose easy convenience of not giving a fuck over everything else.

Whining about your parents is getting real fucking old. If they helped you out at every step you'd still be an incompetent pussy.

[ - ] BloodyComet 2 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 13:59:44 ago (+3/-1)

It's not about your parents, specifically. It's about a certain few generations of people who had it so good, that they passively allowed or participated in shit that hamstrings future generations. They set up future generations for failure, while their predecessors set them up for the most abundant time in history.

To not acknowledge or talk about this would be silly, especially when boomers tend to talk a lot of shit about younger people. That resentment goes both ways.

I'm not getting your point.

Are groceries not short term purchases?

[ - ] x0x7 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 11:15:56 ago (+1/-1)

I think this is a recycled lefty post and the point they are trying to make is that life is on some unfair tredmill that boomers wouldn't understand. But at the same time these are people buying novelty health food like pomegranate juice instead of cheap healthy food like produce.

[ - ] BannedEverwhere 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 21:45:13 ago (+0/-0)

Even "cheap" food is prohibively expensive now days.

[ - ] Volf 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 21:56:48 ago (+0/-0)

The point they're trying to make is that the post below is trying to frame Millennials as irresponsible children who spend their money on frivolities by citing groceries as an example, but food is a non-negotiable necessity of life.

The absolute fact is that due to jewish usury and money printing, things such as food and housing are more expensive relative to peoples average income than they have ever been. It is harder for Millennials to get by than it was for fat lazy entitled boomers and its going to be even harder for following generations and if you think that's a lefty take you're an ignorant retard who hates his own people.

Short term purchases would be saving for a downpayment on a vehicle, bonds, stocks, weddings, home improvements, vehicle maintenance, holidays, not daily living ffs.

Is grocery shopping an investment? I guess it is in a sense as food is pretty key for life. How dare those Millennials spend all their money on day to day living.

[ - ] FreeinTX 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 17:33:18 ago (+0/-0)

Short term purchases would be saving

Purchases are not savings. Its the opposite. Saving is what you do when you aren't using the money for purchases. The initial statement suggests that the rise in wages isn't offsetting the cost of shit you buy every day or regularly (which seems to me groceries would fit that category).

Short term purchases are not investments, either.

[ - ] UncleDoug [op] 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 17:42:22 ago (+0/-0)

Short term purchases are anything under 3yrs.
If your short term purchases are caught up on simply existing then you are already broken mentally.

Hey retard what I do and don't consider the definition of a word to be and its association with how I classify things within that definition have nothing to do with my mentality.

[ - ] BannedEverwhere 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 21:48:28 ago (+0/-0)

Not broken mentally, broken economically. I can't think of anything I could buy that I would trust to last over 3 years.

The problem is that Millenials think they are supposed to jump into the game with owning a 5 bedroom house in an established suburb within a stone's throw of every convenience.
Those places are too expensive afford.

Meanwhile, you can buy an acre of Wilderness for $2,000 and build a house on it for less than a downpayment on a mortgage.

But, they will never but that, because "Muh Starbucks".

Is that what you did?

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 22:44:32 ago (+0/-0)

I bought the cheapest house in the suburb's suburb and lived in it while fixing it up and eventually selling it for a profit.

The distance you are going to have to go out from a city center is a function of how useful you are.
The point being, expecting a McMansion in the city is unattainable for anyone in their 20's.

I was a programer.
I could easily get a mortgage for a $70,000 house.

A nobody millenial is going to have go start with an acre of nothing for $2,000 because that's what he's worth.

[ - ] Volf 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 23:31:20 ago (+0/-0)

That's cool, I'm a tradesman and I live in a $700k house on 2 acres in a 99% White area, outside the city. I don't want to live near the city and if I ever move again it's going to be further out. Millennials aren't children anymore. Those of us who aren't idiots are doing just fine but that doesn't mean it isn't harder on average.

All we want is homes we can afford and to not live surrounded by violent niggers, but unfortunately that requires literally being a millionaire in the modern day.

And then spend 5 hours and most of the day's wages just getting to and from work...

You are complaining about how you can't afford anything.
Your shitty job isn't worth a 5 hour drive.

ProTip: Your great great great grandparents lived in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere, and they didn't have to drive 5 hours go get to a shitty job.

So...
How did they do it?

[ - ] BannedEverwhere 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 22:34:31 ago (+0/-0)

A shitty job is all normal men can get and we're lucky to even have that much...

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 22:50:00 ago (+0/-0)

OK, well, a shitty job in an expensive city you can't afford is stupid.
You can get a shitty job anywhere in the boonies and easily afford a $2,000 acre of land and house made out of local materials that you built yourself.

Stop making excuses to sabotage yourself.

Left out by far the biggest "short-term" purchase: rent.

[ - ] Master_Foo 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 16:56:30 ago (+0/-0)

A year's worth of rice and beans is, like, $200.

[ - ] UncleDoug [op] 0 points 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 17:36:52 ago (+0/-0)

In Guatemala.

[ - ] Master_Foo 1 point 5 monthsDec 24, 2024 17:42:13 ago (+1/-0)

Rice and beans in Guatemala probably costs more than in the US.
Seriously, it's practically free if you know how to buy it in bulk for several families.
And if you are really smart, you can turn the rice and beans into chicken.
