Comment on Ok, boomer
Skrufimonki@lemmynsfw.com 2 weeks agoWhat the fuck are you on about?
First your not even on topic here for this thread for this comment. Typical.
I want you to do a little mental exercise, put a pin on the shit you just said and translate all your life efforts to today’s economic situation. Example.
Your 8k in 2003 was about 14k in today’s market. That 8k was %25 of the total amount so your first buying the flat cost around $56,000 (2003) , $98,601(2025).
I want you to font a flat, house whatever that is Liviable for that price. 100k. Easy peasy right? I won’t even try to explain to you the current pay differences cause you likely wouldn’t listen anyways.
From a genX that just hit the 50s and is technically now part of this boomer group,
Ok Boomer.

Done. A 2 bedroom terrace 20 minutes from a major city.
Oh, and minium wage for me at the time £4.50(around £9.10 in 2025), like I said. Its now £12.21.
Is there anything else I can do for you? Perhaps, I can cut up your meat into nice little chewable squares for you??

Conversion rate doesn’t give a fuck what symbol is in front of the number.
You’re missing 2 bedrooms. Stay in the same story. Your story.
Now explain to me how wages has inflated commensurately with housing prices. Go on try.
By the way I’m proud of you for staying on topic.
Good job.
Keep your shity boiled meat. I’ll keep eating my flavorful bbq’d beef.
