>In the USA in 2026, the average age of a person buying a new car is 54>Young people almost exclusively buy used cars>Automotive manufacturers basically make zero money off used cars>TLDR: Boomers are the only people keeping American auto manufacturers aliveKek. Everyone fell for the boomer Dave Ramsey bootstraps bullshit.>Just drive a lemon. You don’t deserve a nice car. Nice things are for boomers, like me.Boomers berated young people for decades cuz of young people’s new cars and avocado toast.But the really funny part is young people listened. They changed their spending habits. They do less retail shopping. They buy less alcohol than previous generations. They almost exclusively buy used cars.And now all those industries are suffering. Boomers forgot that capitalism only works if people fucking spend money on things. Boomers wanted to be the only people who could buy a new Cadillac. And now they are. And now Cadillac makes no fucking money. And now Cadillac can only sell the Escalade, and it’s fucking $120k.What a narcissistic retard generation.
>>29104856Sounds like someone needs to work harder and skip the avocado toast.
Old cars are just better Why cry about it instead have just buying Old cars to Love and Enjoy?
>>29104856I bought $1000 worth of parts this month at the dealer for my 93 pickup. I shop there to get oem quality or rare items. I usually shop at independent part stores though. I usually buy 1-2 grand of parts a month to keep my various vehicles alive. I have a smol acerage, don't grow anything but hay these days though.
>>29104856Boomers are incredibly evil.
>>29104856>on today's episode of /o/ a cunty whiny zoomer nihilist intentionally misunderstanding good advice to just to cunt endlessly about being poorOkay, that's like everyday, on almost every thread.look faggot zoomer cunt; that ramsey guy might not always be right; but on criticizing people for going into permadebt and crippling themselves financially in the future over car loans they honestly cannot afford, he's completely correct. older people are the only ones that can actually afford new car loans, true -- but how you turn that into some kind of stupid faggot cunty culture war talking point is beyond me.cars are getting stupidly expensive, partly because the dollar is turning into monopoly money (the fed goes brrrrrrrrrrr too often); but also due to excessively stupid safety and emissions bullshit regulations driving up the cost of new cars. TL:DR you are a faggot cunt with shit for brains. neck yourself.
>>29104856>>In the USA in 2026, the average age of a person buying a new car is 54I'm 37 and just bought a new car. I will finish paying it off in ~6 months or so. I haven't even made my first payment yet and it's nearly paid off.
>>29104879Gas cars are getting stupidly expensive. Electric cars are cheap as hell. It's why brand new base model Teslas are sold out until next year. Everyone I know who is buying new is buying electric.
>>29104856>They buy less alcohol than previous generationsidk man i definitely buy more alcohol than 5-10 people from previous generations combinednever buying a nucar tho, they're ugly, boring, full of nannies, and its way cheaper in the long and short term to just fix up something old. i'll save for a house maybe.
>>29104879Me btw
>>29104879t. 4-cylinder Silverado driver
>>29104892I'll look like this some day.
>>29104879Said policies are all because of boomers btw.
>>29104898They dictate policy, we pay the price. They can die happily, knowing the policies that others had to pay for maybe made the world better.
>>29104898i cannot wait to die of old age surrounded by the braindead cunty fucking policies zoomers will eventually enact.because you personally are responsible for every single bad decision president AOC will make.
>>29104856>But the really funny part is young people listened. They changed their spending habits.Bull fucking shit. Is the source your broccoli zoomer ass?
>>29104886>
>>29104879Uh, because if nobody buy/lease new cars, American automakers make no fucking money. Boomers can’t carry the entire consumer economy forever. All this “bootstraps” and “frugal” nonsense doesn’t work in an economy that functions by selling people plastic chinkshit and “services” like Netflix. Boomers created this fake consoom-economy, and then had lead-poisoning rage everytime they witnessed a young person participating in the economy boomers created.Who’s buying a fucking $90k F-150 King Ranch except a fucking boomer retard? Price is going up, quality is going down, new vehicles are cluttering on lots, and there’s not enough fat boomers in cargo shorts and knee socks to buy them all.I just purchased a 2020 vehicle, which is as “new” as I would every want. I have never bought a new car, and, now, with all the spyware and iPad shit, I probably never will. Even if I could afford it, I wouldn’t. Even if I could afford it, I’d feel like I was being ripped off. Even if I wasn’t being ripped off, I don’t want a car with a camera pointed at my fucking face and an iPad as a speedometer/tachometer.This can’t go on. Eventually boomers will have to give up the ghost, but we’ve got another 10 years reverse mortgages, $15k a month nursing homes, and $200k Corvettes and Lincoln SUVs before we get there.
>>29104908>Bull fucking shit. Is the source your broccoli zoomer ass?Source is every economic study and every headline reading>X industry is dying because zoomies don’t want to buy/can’t afford [Insert overpriced enshitified industry]“Movie theatres dying because zoomies don’t want $40 movie tickets.” Yeah, no shit.We live in two economies that can’t reconcile. The boomer economy, which will pay any price for any stupid, giant, plastic piece of shit on the shelf, and the zoomie economy, which won’t buy anything because they don’t want it or can’t afford it if they do.
>>29104913so what you're saying (but too much of a retarded cunt to understand, because you're a retarded cunt) is that the older people spending money and keeping the economy afloat are dying off, and no one else has any moneygreat, fucking south africa tier future you're hoping for. but your spiteful cuntiness will be realized at least.
>>29104879Boomer melty!
Just need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, give a firm handshake, and eat rice and beans for the rest of your pathetic life.
>>29104919>great, fucking south africa tier future you're hoping for. but your spiteful cuntiness will be realized at least.What do you mean “hoping for” you fucking retard? We’re already there. The Toyota Camry starts at $32k, and the median salary is still $65k.We funnel social security up to boomers who already have pensions, 401ks, paid-off homes, tax breaks, and reverse mortgages. They live off their pensions and use their SS to buy Silverado High Country’s that they drive to the golf course twice a month.
>>29104962>pay into SS your entire working lifenope, you shouldn't get it because a 20 yo retarded CUNT says>mommy i want everything NOW>south africayou have no idea how bad things can actually get. cunting about the price of a camry vs median wage is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the horrors awaiting the US in about 30 years. >but boomersoh jesus fucking christ you whining cunts.
>>29104970>you have no idea how bad things can actually get. cunting about the price of a camry vs median wage is nothing, absolutely nothing compared to the horrors awaiting the US in about 30 years.Wow, I wonder who has been in charge for the last 60 years and set the USA on a path of South Africa. Actually, who turned South Africa into what it is today? Actually, what generation currently holds the US presidency?What’s that? The answer to all those questions is boomers? Wow, shocker.
>>29104962I wish I could opt out of SS.I'm much better at managing my own money than whatever SS would give me.I doubt I'll ever see a penny of the money I put into SS when I retire.But opting out of SS will never happen because SS makes the governments balance sheets look better than it actually is.
>>29104986yes, placing individual blame for decisions made by politicians (and not even just the presidency, but appointed judges, state/local reps etc) makes complete sense.if you think an individual boomer is somehow responsible for every single mistake starting back in 1965 from both the israel first GOP and brown person/diversity enthusiast DNC, just wait until you see what the zoomers will be blamed for when the democratic socialists you cunts keep YEARNING for really speed run the decline.south africa indeed. tl;dr you're a fucking idiot. a complete, unrepentant fucking idiot.
>>29105043>Don’t blame boomers for what boomers did and what boomers voted for over the last 60 years of political dominanceThe Boomer cries out in pain as he strikes you.
>>29104970>>pay into SS your entire working life>nope, you shouldn't get it because a 20 yo retarded CUNT says>>mommy i want everything NOWYou fucking retard, a young person working today will be lucky to get literally anything from Social Security because, despite the best efforts of scumfuck old people importing immigrants by the boatload, the fund is still operating at a deficit. Social security is making more payments to retirees than it is receiving in contributions and investment income. Even if the fund doesn't default, the authorities have been pushing up the retirement age to 70, and probably soon 80 years old.If you actually want to be secure in your old age, open up a retirement savings account and contribute to it. As it stands, every dollar the government takes off your paycheque to pay for boomer welfare is a dollar you will literally never see again.
>>29104892My neighbor looks like that except his hair is like all white. But he's a nice guy.
>>29104856that's gen x cancer, not boomers
>>29104991Why wouldn't you want a super sport?
>>29104970Why do you feel entitled to someone else's money?
>>29104962The earned their money but pulled up the ladder. The problem is actually that we have 50 million Mexicans and 40 million others that all get federal, state and local funding, EBT, state hospitals, SBA loans, get paid under the table or get a DEI make work job, have 6 kids each and don’t pay taxes. Even you would be working a 100k+ job if they had not sold out all of our future.
>>29105420???
>>29105441That's the government's money, not yours.
>>29104856>Boomers forgot that capitalism only works if people fucking spend money on things.They also forgot if no one gets paid then things can’t sell either.Like with housing right now.
>>29104856>54lol, that's the gen X bracket, most Boomers are dead or dying haven't been relevant in years.
>>29104861>Sounds like someone needs to work harder and skip the avocado toast.>>29104856>Boomers Are the Only People Buying New Cars
>>29104866This. Enshittification keeps getting worse so buying anything new is fucking retarded anyone. Perfect for those retard boomers, since money means nothing to them. The secret is to figure out how to mooch a boomer. They owe us that much. And then with your extra money buy up all the cool old cars you want. I've got a fleet of 6 shitboxes.
