Taking it easy

posted March 24th, 2020 at 9:20 AM

Some acquaintances have, in the last few years, decided to take it easy ie work part time jobs, or no job and just live off savings, or try and set up their homes where they receive revenue with renters. Now pretty much off of these people have ZERO income coming in, with zero chance of EI. Aside from taking out a bank loan or living off credit cards, I have no idea how they are going to make it through this economic shut-down.

I think you just described retirement. Another thing we can all say goodbye to for good.

Yes, well it turns out that baby boomers living off the backs of their ancestors will no longer be able to jet around the world taking vacations while their children and grandchildren face tens of thousands of student loans debt.

In a society where the banks have literally hijacked the housing market making that 100% unaffordable to 99% of the nation.

Then you must have it all

I'm just waiting for the looting, home invasions, rampant rape, murder, cannibalism, and anarchy to start. Then I'm setting up a lawn chair in your front yard so I can sit and watch you get torn apart by all the unforgiving masses.

"Yes, well it turns out that baby boomers living off the backs of their ancestors " Blah blah blah
Well, I guess you'd turn up your nose at any inheritance that exists ONLY because of your parents real estate, no?
Or are you bitter because you won't get any?
