What was the other car and what did it look like ?

Anecdote of one I know… But my parents have yet to have a paid off home and they’ve had two houses, the first was sold. They did rent it out to my sister for a long time on the cheap because she had a kid in high school and life didn’t go so great. Now she had to move to bumfuck to afford rent beca...

Another example a boomer born in 1960 and retiring in 2025 is slated to receive $2885 in social security ... me at the same age in 26 years is slated to receive $3800. I will be getting about 34% more than the boomer. The buying power of a $1000 26 years ago... is $1925 today. Meaning in order for m...

I don’t know that taking money from people who saved is an answer though. It would be a bit too much regulation for my tastes but limiting the number of homes people/companies can own and not selling our houses to non citizens would maybe be a help for prices. Like not having Chinese corporations a...

Holy fuck

You're not alone at all. And that's my whole point. our entire generation 22-40 year olds that SHOULD be raising the NEXT generation. Aren't... flat out. Current birth date is 1.66 per woman... replacement rate is around 2.2 per woman. So in 30-40 years that means 30% of our generation will go EXTI...

I’m not saying redistribute wealth, I’m saying let the young’s get the same opportunities the old had. That requires the same benefits the olds receive/received when they were our age . How about that ? It’ll never happen when mommy milkers Nancy and her crew are deep in the middle of milking the c...

Alimony is 1:2 of the years you’re married until year 7. Been exploring some options just in case. Also that’s why Sibarian princess with blue eyes and blonde hair that cooked and cleaned for me got the boot. I needed my woman to work to even remotely live in a non ghetto. All part of the plan

No, it took quite a bit of effort for me to get out of the car.

Yea that thing is def toast. Only thing one can ask for is to be able to walk away.

Also that "SMASHED" sign in the back

Also on the rise and fall of florida. They are about to go bottoms the FUCK up after rising 300% from 2019 to today... Inventories are SUUUUURGING

For those who haven't heard, a lady turned left in front of me on Friday. Fairly certain the Camaro is totaled, it's quite damaged. I'm doing okay, left shoulder is fucked. I went to the doctor, and nothing is broken so that's good. Been doing a lot of car shopping. :wtf: glad you're ok... Pics of ...

Trickle down ain't tricklin' down.

it's been trickling UP for 30 years, and lately more so than ever.

I will venture to say that you're not doing ok. 1 Job, 3 kids, paid off house, 2 paid off cars is doing ok. Which was the norm not long ago before we decided to make the olds ultra rich on the backs of the young. :lol: What? When Ward Cleaver went to work and left June at home to raise Wally and th...

Is a CVT 1.5T accord total seppuku? Would you at that point just go for the more expensive used Camry Hybrid? I have a feeling I’m going to need to quickly buy a car in the next 3 weeks and have been looking at what’s available. Used prices are still insane. $20 grand doesn’t buy much. Depending on...

People flat out can’t afford to have kids. If you’ve got $250k in college debt and are working a job that pays $80k a year there’s no way you’re getting a house, a decent car, and raising screamy potatoes. I make a decent salary but man I’m concerned as hell about finances, because the mortgage, ho...

If one doesn’t “oversimplify” you get nothing done and write 10000 page regulations on how high to cut the grass and if birds fart. Facts are facts. Our younger generations are being fucked into oblivion and carrying the golden geese into the retirement Homes. It’s a bit more troubling than just wh...

Here is a fun story: My college best friend/roommate (drives :manuel: Taco) and his wife have a Golf AllTrac that she drives. They got a warning light on the dash that the battery wasn't charging. He actually called me and I suggested testing the alternator. Well, they don't have a volt meter even ...

Is that thing finally here ?!

I mean, I do agree that something should be done about housing prices (not sure what) and other costs that are crippling, but haven't olds always had more wealth? The boomer gen will be gone in 20 years and that will get passed down to :millennial: , then we will be the ones hated by younger genera...

"Quality is #1" - Ford It was still an incredibly durable car. 410k miles under original engine and trans. And it drove itself onto the Junker. I shed a tear inside for sure. This was also a car where I learned its oem parts or nothing. 68 oil changes on the same car will teach you a thin...

I wondering if boomers will FUCK everyone in the stock market next. 1. They already fucked everyone with college tuition (They got it for $200 a year and current students are out 15>80k a year) 2. They fucked everyone on the pensions (they overloaded the system and made it unsustainable and yet dra...
