> i just got a little aggrivated thinking about my own 2 fuck ups i dont blame you man, a lot of boomers left their kids out to dry, even my own dad who while super generation and like i said we got a good relationship, he just does not get the gravity of the situation and the rality of it. i tried explaining it to him once, and i could see he was kinda getting it, but it was more like watching a truck spin its tires in the mud, like he just could not wrap his mind around how fucked the current situation is for my generation, 33 yo. the thing i told him that really started to make him see was when i explained to him that i made an above average income, in fact i make almost double the median individual income in the us and that back in the 80s and 70s someone with just the average median income had a better home buying experience then me.  i told him that in 70s and 80s the average house hold income was about 1/5th the total cost of a newly built home. while the average individual income in the us now only covers like 1/10th of the price of an average new home, and that back then duel income homes were like 40% while now its over 50% while everything else has gone up in price. that made him kinda stop and think but i never really pushed it because i did not want to but it was a moment of clarity for me.  i think a lot of the boomers really just dont fucking know how bad it is and how isane it is for the gen y generation. i think they really dont know all the bullshit that goes on.  hell i had to explain to him that you just cant go out and chop down a tree for firewood like that's illegal as fuck.
