What retirement? I am Gen X and dont have that. But I do have shit ton of possessions. Luckily not in the position to have sell them off.
Also bullshit where these Gen Z parents. My Gen Z sons aren’t suffering this fate. So far my middle son just turn 18 an adulting okay. Yeah still lives at home which sucks, by his age I had a one bedroom apartment. But he is savimg for college and will move out once he has 10k saved up.
It’s tougher but with good parenting and knowing the pit falls in life I can guide him to success even in this hell hole.
Doesn’t have to be this way, but until we rise and demand better nothing going change. So I will do what I got to do for him succeed. It’s up to us Gen X and millenniums to stand up for Gen Z. Its a class war folks need to fight like it is.

So because some people who are roughly his/her age voted for trump that makes him/her responsible for a government coup? Are you fucking stupid or did you type that with a stick up your ass?

Giving you one simple retrospective, in hopes you’re not pulling my leg:
I’m [the generation that exacerbated the problem, I did jack shit to prevent it from happening to my kids, and their kids, forever, therefore you should read my lie on lemmy as if I have authority on the problem I did nothing to deter.]
Six fucking decades to revert back Regan’omics, and you are going to tell me that the generation that killed free tuition to be a racist shithead isn’t responsible for his actions?
Like fuck you, if you believe his generation didn’t continue to fuck us over.

Asshole I was just born when Regan became president. Blame my parents not really my since she was 15 and couldn’t vote. Besides my parents were Democrats back then so they probably wouldn’t have voted for him. I know later in life my dad hated Republicans and even my grandparents made sure we kids understood we were Democrats.
I learned early on that Red vs Blue was always a sport even way back then.

By that logic all black people are criminals because some black people commit crimes. You can’t just group people up and assume they’re all guilty, there’s a reason we have courts in all developed countries. Some people from generation Z voted for tRump that sure as shit doesn’t make me a fascist. There’s only so much one person can do alone and you have no evidence that individual did anything to deserve your ill behavior.

I voted for Harris and I am what you call a Bernie bro since I voted for him twice and knock doors for him and donated money I didn’t have to him. Also I consider myself left of Sanders. I don’t believe you can work within the capitalist system and do what Bernie wants. He does.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted, what you’re saying is pretty much what everyone else is.
You’re acknowledging that corporate greed and class warfare is the problem. You’re using your position as a parent in a half decent financial situation to help your kids where you can. You’re not wrong.
You’re not blaming gen Z at all but I fear without punctuation people might be misinterpreting. Every last bit of collective effort helps.
Your sons are fortunate to have you as a parent.

Probably people upset that I am able to provide and help my kid succeed when a lot of them can’t support themselves. It sucks we shouldn’t be fighting one other. Instead we should be joining forces and helping one another succeed. We need community now more than ever

You’re missing the point.
If your son didn’t have you to depend on for financial and emotional support, they would be homeless through no fault of their own, like everyone else who doesn’t have that kind of support system.
They aren’t “adulting” if they can’t live independently.
And pretending like this situation is fine is part of why we have let it get so bad in the first place.

I had zero support system when I moved out on my own and yes I survived, but look at the cost of things and guess what it isn’t fucking inflation Its fucking greed!
My first place was a 2 bedroom duplex that cost me 300 a month. Not best neighborhood but in 1997 not bad. Fast forward 2001 working at Walmart had a one bedroom apartment for 360 a month. Go look that same apartment today. Just looked it up fucking 958 for same place. That place with inflation should be no more then 600. How the fuck do they expect anyone to afford that at today wages?
So yes he is adulting best he can. But promise he wont be 21 still living at home. Shit I hear kids older then that are. Some 25 year olds with college degrees are trap at home.

Well for Athens Texas that is way out of reach. Were taking small town here with no industry. They have a community college or did when I live there. But it was a town of old money that refused to let the place grow.
