The median Boomer has a housing cost of $612. That includes taxes and insurance.

I am a boomer my mortgage is $2,600 a month, homeowners $300 a month, taxes $1,200 a month, add in utilities and maint another $1,000 a month.

$5,300 a month. My daughter had a two bedroom apt with roommate $1,200 a month.

I work at a bank and a 70 year old boomer last week took out a 2 million dollar mortgage on a home! Paid off at 100.

NP. My parents aren’t Boomers but I legitimately don’t see how people don’t understand why Millrennials/Gen Z/Gen Alpha feel enraged that no matter how hard they work they will never have the ability to build wealth the way previous generations did.

Who do you think is going to inherit the houses and 401k balances of boomers?

Real answer: private equity and asset management firms that own housing vulture funds, nursing homes, hospital networks, and physician practices.

Nope. Our multimillions will be going to our two millennial kids. We bought LTC insurance. DH and I inherited nothing from our parents. We know many families like ours. The kids will be alright.

Np but if you live to 90, your 60 year old kids won’t need your millions. They needed it when they were 30

My 83 year old MIL paid $13k for house in 1964 and her current property tax is $13k!

Imagine paying 100 percent of purchase price as your property tax

Imagine buying a home as a newlywed today in 2024 for one million and at 83 paying one million a year in property tax?

The opportunities to build wealth are just as great or greater than ever before in this country.

Both my millennial nephews have purchased nice homes in desirable areas this past year with their own money. They are software engineers who saved and invested their earnings.

I wonder how they’ll even make it to 60 if they “need” it so badly in their 30’s…

And at age 60 the parents have 30 years left to live. You don't know what will happen during those 30 years. LTC insurance is not some kind of magic bullet. Most of them have limits and only pay out so much. Life is still unpredictable. The parents could live to 100. The stock market could crash. Anything can happen. Nobody can be glib about life.

Our property taxes and insurance are climbing but it's still cheaper to stay put than sell and pay capital gains to move into a smaller place. We have a special needs millennial who will always live with us and need to be near elderly relatives. If we win the lottery, we'll be happy to sell our dated home and move to a new one-story in a warm place.

It's from Shakespeare's Othello but you would know that if you were either educated or bothered to look it up.

Right? If you "need" millions at 30 something is wrong with your lifestyle. Sure we all want to be millionaires but that doesn't mean you should live the millionaire lifestyle in debt up to your eyeballs waiting for your parents to kick the bucket. These 30 year olds need to live within their means.

But food news for whining millennials. They will inherit these assets en masse.

No we won’t. Our parents are going to have to spend down everything they ever saved (if they saved) in end of life care that can run $5k+ a month. Boomers are going to live for a long time, this will easily drain most of the “inheritance” the average Boomer might’ve accumulated.

Have u actually looked at end-of-life costs? Because the way you’ve written that I think you haven’t. Most people die with either short stays under twelve months or with no stay at all in care facilities.
