Tone deaf. Same reason they told us all; "Just buy an EV if gas is expensive."

From what I’ve heard on the news and other financial reports millennials and Genzie are going on vacations and they’re putting it on credit cards 😱

It is a generational thing. Middle class boomers grew up with ski trips and vacations. The middle class has been priced out of those luxuries and boomers act like we still have them.

In Germany it is still very common for everyone to go on vacation at least once a year, often to some Mediterranean beach, even for lower middle class people.

I know people who take a vacation every year and make under 40 grand. Didn't know that's rich.

Yep. It’s not like people now would be sacrificing and grinding for 5 hard years in their 20’s to get the house and nicer car to then start really putting money away for retirement plus paying off debts. It’s 15-20 years of loving like monks required to get to that same place assuming no major medical setbacks, no large scale economic collapses, and steady career growth with companies honoring their arbitrary 5 years in between major promotions timeline that is never communicated clearly with employees anyway. Why do that, when those experiences to Disney world, 2-4 cities with fun touristy things, and a dozen concerts are going to add much more tangible value and realistic goal achievement for many people now. The carrot in front of our faces isn’t enough motivation anymore, so many people stop cashing that dream.

Oh my god this.

It would be considered a whim to older generations. If they can do it without therapy then all of us should be able to as well. (Never mind the damage they themselves caused on younger generations, that's just "character building" and we're all too weak to handle the "real world" not to mention that anyone with a mental health "issue" was either "fixed" quick or locked away out of sight forever for their generation and I'm pretty sure they still think that's the best way to create a perfect world.)

Also a lot of people pay little to nothing for their therapy, either because of insurance, individual hospital help, or less expensive online options. I do almost none of the things on this list, but most people that I know who do still live with their parents so...not that crazy to spend a little extra money.

As a child of a PHD Psychologist I understand completely. I grew up being taught that everyone should see a therapist if they require it, and it should be accessible. However, doing it to be trendy, and taking away resources from individuals that are psychologically traumatized is heinous. Everyone deserves proper and affordable healthcare, not everyone *needs* said niche healthcare.

They were too busy working to be depressed. When your working taking care of kids cleaning cooking and going nonstop You literally have less time to feel sorry for yourself or dwell on past misfortunes.

@@chrisharris2367 I can't speak for the American context as I am from Europe myself, but at least in my country the most popular way to deal with any difficult emotions among people from my parents' generation was to start drinking. People were still depressed, they just didn't acknowledge it and used alcohol to "address" and cover up the problem. Therapy options were practically nonexistent and people were to poor to afford them anyways.

It actually wasn’t, my parents used to pay $12 for cable, internet, and their landline (late 90s up to the mid-2000s). Their cable company was bought out like 15 years ago but whatever plans existing customers had continued to be honored for as long as they kept them. My parents then made the mistake of switching plans because they wanted faster internet and that’s when they started paying over $100. They went back to a cheaper plan but because they gave up their original one, the $12 cost was no longer honored. Now the bill is closer to $200 for basic everything whereas one subscription is like under $10.

Our life is a vacation now. all the information you would ever want in your pocket. Every source of entertainment at your fingertips. People have never lived like this. I don't know how people my age still manage to complain(Gen Z). I grew up in an addicts home with no food. no water or electricity at times. That's so terrible that everyone lived that way only a century and a half ago. Get real life is easy now.

You have your generations mixed up. The 2 packs a day cigarette habit was a Boomer and Silent Generation thing. Things were cheaper than. There wasn’t all of the technology and social media 30 years ago. Late millennials and Gen Z people are too busy looking for validation and showing off a lifestyle they really can’t afford just to impress a bunch of random people on social media. If you want something bad enough you have to sacrifice something in order to get it. Welcome to the real world.

I make what is considered a pretty good income. I pay for zero streaming services. I never buy coffee. I don't go on expensive vacations. I keep my old car rather than buying a new one. I can't get a house because my student loans are crushing me, they will end up costing me over a hundred thousand dollars by the time I can pay them off, which is more than twice what I borrowed, because the interest is predatory

​@rachelk4805 if you don't make enough to pay of your student loans in 2 years . The degree you got wasn't worth it .

​@@rachelk4805 sounds like a woman ,who can't take personal responsibility. Shocked

@@justme-ti1rh That's a bit too binary of thinking. Average cost of a degree is $153,080 USD. Average wage of a software engineer: $140K. Take home about $100K/yr. If you have NO dependents, you could possibly save $80K/yr and pay it off in 2-3 years(unexpected costs). You will have to room with others and eat poorly. However, a JUNIOR developer right out of college is unlikely to make $55K of take home(out of $80K/yr). Now you're looking at $30K of savings and 4-5 years to pay it off. I went through a local 2-year programming education with just $15K debt. However, because of this, I needed to supplement my resume with more 6 years of junior/internship work. I paid off my education instantly, but this isn't for most people. A 4/6/8/10 year degree can lead to a much higher salary cap. Even a 2 year gives you a good shot at a high wage if you prove your worth to your coworkers. So long as they are practical degrees.

Plus some things were more expensive in the past. My grandfathers first PC was crasy expensive compared to what an average PC would cost today (in relation to his income)

Exactly!! I’m blessed with two grandparents who understand how bad our generation’s problems are. They were poor when they got married, but even they were still able to build their own house, raise four kids, own cars, pay for groceries, etc.

This. It's so frustrating to hear Boomers talk about "Well we didn't have expensive phones, 9 streaming services, fancy computers, and this and that," like it was an accomplishment. Yeah. you didn't have those things because no one had cellphones, or computers, streaming didn't exist. It's not will-power or an accomplishment to not have someone that either didn't exist or wasn't widely available. Y'all just had other vices instead.

Politicians created this mess, not the "boomers". And THEY are accelerating it. Not even PRETENDING to cut spending. It's all rooted in MASSIVE debt and money printing to keep the faltering economy going. Huge inflation.

​@@dariusreidace6663Smoking is much more expensive than all of my Internet services especially if you look at what our money is worth now, which is the real issue. Previous generations allowed federal income tax and a federal reserve banking system that has destroyed the value of the dollar.

“We didn’t have cell phones and streaming services when we were 30.” No but you had a home phone. And paid extra by the minute for long distance calls and you had cable and maybe even paid for multiple cable boxes and paid extra for any premium cable channels like HBO or Disney.

​@Jess-em4ri You all are lying, or you're kept in an underground bunker without ever being let out.

Frankly, I don't think that taxing corporations is necessarily the solution to this problem. Corporations are organizations after all made up of individuals, and taxing them amounts effectively to a double tax on those who profit from it, complicating things for no good reason. Instead? Simply tax the people who profit from these companies - the stock holders themselves. Increase capital gains taxes substantially (with exceptions for reasonable amounts of retirement savings in traditional retirement accounts so it doesn't hurt the middle class much), and you'll solve the problem at its root. If the rich are getting richer at the expense of the middle class and the majority of this country, as their investments rise in price and those without investments basically have to pay more to even live or get anywhere in life - then the only logical solution to the problem is to redistribute wealth in some way. You could raise minimum wages and such, but companies choose who works for them and this can only do so much - unions are a better option for rising wages than laws like that. The best solution is to simply increase taxes, while closing loopholes and making it impossible for people to get around those taxes.

I'm the kid, and imho, I agreed with my parents on that one. Like dude, I wanna get rid of the issue, not spread it by talking about it.

It's not just the one bad purchase but many. Sometimes you just have to sit down and stare at the bank statement to spot them. That coffee X 20 per month, the couple of subscriptions for streaming that you may have that you only watch one show on each, the 'comfort food' that you really don't need and probably be better without. I like to go out for lunch now when I'm at work because now I can afford too. Not too long ago this wasn't an option. Lunch for the week was a loaf of bread, big container of "pseudo gourmet lunch meat" from Costco, a couple of onions, tomatoes and lettuce. The "fancy sauce" on it was a mix of whatever was in the fridge - ranch, a bit of not-tabasco hot sauce and a little vinegar and dash of lemon. Mondays sandwiches were always so much better than Fridays. Resolve was needed... It was $25 for the week and not $10 a day, or even $18 a day for the Thai place I really like... I went through this exercise years ago when saving for a downpayment and desperately trying to pay off loans before getting a mortgage. Just lots of dumb needless rubbish but you have to get the last 4 to 6 months of bank statement together and stick them in something like Quickbooks or similar and go through each expense one by one and classify them. I went through this again a few years ago when I was starting to think my retirement may not be all that I want it to be. The wife was a bit dismayed at "Luxury Apocalypse Pt 2" but understood. We're seeing our kids struggling but not "fish out of water" struggling and I didn't want to have to burden them in 15 to 20 years when I retire to have to pitch in an help look after their old folks. That said, I also didn't go on a vacation for almost two decades. Vacation time was time relaxing, playing with the dogs, some day trips to a local beach and sleeping. Given that I live in NorCal and not a million miles from Napa, SF and the pacific, Yosemite and Tahoe I really don't have a "need" to go far. You could almost say that the cost of a vacation is morphed into my house payment.

Thats not true for everyone under 45.

Most are oblivious/ignorant of how bad things have gotten, they only have their personal experience in the 60s/70s/80s to inform their beliefs. They remember when it was possible, albeit hard, for someone to afford a home on minimum wage and can’t understand how people making several times more than minimum wage could struggle so much. They also bought their homes decades ago, either they are fully paid off or they’ve at least locked in prices & interest rates from back then, so they’ve been largely shielded from the recent massive COVID cost of living increases (outside of groceries & children). In short, boomers came from a different time and are ignorant/oblivious to the current state of the world. Sucks, but it’s the truth.

I disagree
