Boomers and homelessness, looking grim.

‘Unconscionable’: Baby boomers in America are becoming homeless at a rate ‘not seen since the Great Depression’ — here’s what’s driving this terrible trend

Experts have dubbed it a “silver tsunami.”

Half the homeless population consist of those who are 50 and older. Truly tragic. Back in my day, we were taught how to pull ourselves up by the bootstrap

baby Boomers are NOT 50
Appears you need learn who baby Boomers are and what age we are
Your education back in your day proves to be poor

The youngest Boomers are 58, and turning 59 before the end of this year.

2 years ago I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, paying $600/month. All the apartments were the same, and same rent. Now those apartments (with no improvements) are $1250/month). 80% of the residents moved out, many becoming homeless. Drugs, alcohol, college education all had nothing to do with it. It was INFLATION, and the worst anyone has ever seen.

Iwas lucky to get an apartment in a brand new luxury building and now pay $903/month. Not as bad as $1250, but still at 50% inflation, is a lot more than the 5% the Biden administration claims.

Aren’t ALL boomers older than 50?

I think you’re confusing yourself trying to sound smart, boomer.

I don’t think you know what inflation means…

Also, you must live in a liberal s$&@hole then. Real conservatives know how to manage their money and have fruitful careers. Bootstrap and all.

Biden has taught majority what inflation IS

We all know what inflation really means. Biden has seen to that. I posted a similar story the other day. Boomers aren't just suddenly becoming insolvent. Many on fixed incomes are having to choose between food, heat, and increasing rent.

Fool, you have no idea what you're talking about. Lots of things factor in. Affirmative Action, faulty GRE tests, etc. "their money" ? WHAT money ? Lots of people never really had much of it to manage.

And no, I don't live in a S&@hole. I live a nice modern building, just built in 2022, with a pool, exercise room, billiards room, large screened-in patio, and long list of amenities.

And if you dont know that housing rents is part of inflation (the most important* part of it), you're an idiot.

* most expensive, constantly ongoing expense

Well they need to pick themselves up by the bootstraps. Had they lived within their means and saved for retirement, they wouldn’t be in that predicament.

Well it’s obvious it’s a liberal sh&@hole since so many people there are suffering and being priced out. All those liberal policies ruining it for your neighbors and forcing them out.

Real conservatives have high paying jobs because they work hard. They know how to manage their money. Max out their 401k, invest in index funds, and purchase homes back when they were dirt cheap compared to the crazy prices now. Some even work union blue collar jobs that young people today think are too dirty and retiring on hefty pension plans. Plus conservative cities are well managed, rent wouldn’t increase like that.

That's true, but they ARE in that predicament. And it's due to Biden's inflation and poor stewardship of the country.

It’s called self-reliance. Or rather, the lack of. Not saving for retirement is a personal issue.

Not everyone can prepare for an incompetent of this magnitude to become president.

Hint: it comes from sockpuppet’s history of living with parents and importing expat brides. I’ll just leave that right there.

Maybe you've been living in a closet for the last 2 years.For your edification, massive housing inflation has been going on all over the country, in ALL communities rich & poor.

Reading over your post, you are so detached from what's going on in America, that I'm not going to bother to go through the long amount of posting it would take to bring you up to speed.
"Real conservatives" are ANYBODY who believes men are men;women are women, LGBTs are mentally aberrated, whites are the oppressed race, blacks are the beneficiaries of racism since 1965, immigration should be limited to those who can bring something beneficial to America (aka "merit"), all illegal aliens should be deported, guns in the hands of law-abiding, are good for crime reduction, gun free-zones are synonomous with mass shootings, most cops are good, and most police shooting are justified, strong military is good for America.
