[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired actually a year before the DOGE mess.  I was 58 I always wanted to work part- time.  I’ve applied for some very part-time easy jobs - think libraries, schools.

Nothing.   Age discrimination is very real.   It’s upsetting [/quote]
yep, which is why DH and I have always planned on retiring early.  I'm still working at 55; DH was laid off at 59.[/quote]

That was easier for you boomers and older GenX — you bought homes when they were CHEAP.

The rest of us had to burn money on rent and expensive mortgages. [/quote]

Gen Xer here. Mortgage rates were 8% in 2000 when we bought our house. That was not easy. We refinanced over the years. [/quote]

Yeah 8% for a 50k house gtfo[/quote]

Other GenXer here.

It was 8% on a $270,000 unimpressive townhome with 2 small bedrooms and a 45 minute commute to our jobs (because we couldn’t afford closer). Oh… and we had starting salaries of $30K out of grad school.

Not complaining— but I’m also not going to let you perpetuate the idea that your generation has it so much harder than everyone else.
