[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a boomer I never expected child care or financial support from my parents and my parents never received that from their parents. Why do millennials expect it from their parents? We all faced child care and financial challenges when we were in our 30s and 40s but somehow survived over time. I still cringe when I think about our 17.25% mortgage in 1981. I never had one below 6-7% which is now considered outrageous. [/quote]

Right but what was the value of your mortgage? Guessing it wasnt 1.5 million. 17% of 100000 is less than 4% of 1 million. Full picture here, which I know is not boomers strong suite.[/quote]

Sweetie pie, you know what it was called when you took out a 1.5m mortgage?

Your CHOICE.[/quote]

Tell me youre a boomer without telling me youre a boomer!! Lol! Yes it's entirely my choice that a modest 3 bedroom home inside the beltway now costs 1 million dollars. Boomer blinders are really something else! [/quote]

It's absolutely your choice that you insist on living in North Arlington or Bethesda and not Annandale or Silver Spring. Speaking as someone who just bought a new home this summer, there are plenty of homes under a million dollars inside the beltway, just not in your DESIRED location. [/quote]
