Are "boomers" standing between the tide pod generations and the houses that they're "entitled" to?

I'm hearing more and more about how some of my peer's kids are acting odd towards them, trying to wedge themselves in when it comes to their parent's purchases or what they do with their excess properties now that they are older.

Maybe if they'd worked more (in real fields) and spent less on doordash, new cars, fancy coffee, travel, the latest i-whatever, and tats, they'd be able to afford a house instead of hovering like a darn ghoul waiting for their elders to die.

My advice for them is to shove another Tide Pod up their butts and wait it out and hope Blackrock does not buy it out from under them.

When I was younger I could NOT afford a house in a top suburb. I started in a small three bedroom house that was BASIC. We called them a "starter". Not enough "starters" being built today.

When the Boomer generation dies, they will be dead. What will your children say about you?

Get in the way?

I'm actively blocking them like it's 4th and goal, and we need this score to win the Super Bowl.

That generation is going to feel that!

Thank you.
What a great post!
And I couldn't agree more with you.
I think it's the worst generation in American history by a long shot. Bad parenting coupled with a completely corrupted "education system" that has inculcated them with bullshit plus the cancer that's called social media. TikTok and Facebook and Instagram have created a nation of idiots.
And it's not going to end well.

I'm getting that from my adult kids and I'm not a boomer, I'm only 58.

It doesn't seem like the boomers are leaving much inheritance behind to my fellow gen Xers. The boomers are a powerful voting block who voted to give themselves a lot of entitlements. And they left behind a lot of debt for the next generation.
