[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a severely underemployed Boomer. I may never work in the profession I trained for again because I'm competing with all the entitled Gen Xers and Millenials. [/quote]

How is this entitled

2 Bachelors in Computers Science / IS, 2 Masters in Software and IS, worked since i was 19 while I was in college, now I am 30 and make 180k and can't afford to buy a the equivillent sized boomer house because I bought after 2005 and can't sell my current small one. When I say equivillient I am saying people within my same income bracket and education who are boomers.[/quote]Yeah, we bought in 2002 and paid $145k for a house in what my daughter describes as the ghetto (lots of public housing next door) at a time when we were making far less than 180k because we were careful with our money and we didn't feel entitled to buy your so-called "equivalent sized boomer house." Yes, we were lucky that we bought before 2005.  Yes we were lucky that the neighborhood gentrified around us.  But we only bought what we could afford.  Why don't you go live in a poor neighborhood first before you start whining about your "equivalent sized boomer house." You might appreciate what you have when you live next to folks who sweep floors for a living. It certainly made me count my blessings when I saw how my neighbor who is a security guard works seven days a week to get by. [/quote]
