Wait, is this real?I thought it was just an in-joke, "Homer is poor, but lives like a millionaire"
it was, yep
Didn't Homer borrow the money from his dad to buy the house and mortgaged it three times? They were always living above their means.
>>215555570They don't, they literally sold Abe's house and sent him to a nursing home six month later. Watch the thread go to 100 posts without acknowledging this fact.
>>215555621Sound pretty realistic
>>215555570A house like that in a nowhere town in a flyover state costs $100,000.
>millennials run jokes into the ground>but also check out this post about me taking a sitcom super seriously its the best frfr
>>215555570>Hoomer works at a nuclear power plant in safety There's entire episodes about how he should be college educated but slipped through the cracksGrimes fucking rolling in his grave
>>215555652What are you even talking about, you retarded fat fuck? I'm gonna brick in your goddamn mouth, I swear.
>>215555570My father thought I was a joke and helped my sister with her off spring. Reality check people are out of form for each other. Makes money constipated to work with.
>>215555570Homer Simpson is a nuclear powerplant engineer. It's literally the highest-paid blue collar profession there is. They earn like $100k a year, and sometimes considerably more if they've got seniority.
>>215555686>>215555717Homer doesn't make much. Of course his house is also a shithole. The walls are thin, it's on irradiated land, there's mold and heavy water damage, etc.
>>215555717Is a powerplant engineer even considered blue collar? Don't you need a college degree for that? Feels like if thats blue collar then so are architects or geologists and similar jobs that aren't strictly constrained to a cubicle or office.
>>215555740Also Springfield is clearly a dump if fucking bears are wandering into nuclear plants
>>215555621>>215555641Anything after S11E5 is noncanon
>>215555789They didn't have a tiger problem merely because Lisa carried a certain stone with her. Just totally ludicrous.
It is implied that Homer was making $5/hr. In the episode with the sugar truck, he exclaims that he made (found) a (one) dollar! To which Marge responds: "But by going to work you could have made FORTY dollars!"I know that /tv/'s collective IQ is room temperature on a good day, but it doesn't take a Lisa-level intellect to do some simple division.
>>215555570
Oh for fucks sake>le simpsons house thread>shotcaller thread>whiny lex luthor threadfucking kill yourself you loser fucking spamming faggot
>>215555817the story about how they bought the house is from season 4
What would you say it's the biggest change that the series has since it's beginning to now? What differentiates Simpsons from the 90s for example to today's episodes?
>>215555914I wouldn't know. I don't watch cartoons.
>>215555904this board is an autism simulator, same repeat threads every day. has been for years. if you don't like it you're in the wrong place. could also make your own thread
>>215555926Doesn't make you any less of a faggot lol
>>215555918Back then it wasn't made specifically for the third worlder crowd that leaves it on as background noise
>>215555570Average oil man, lumberjack, welder, AC guy, electrician, plumber, barber makes $200k starter in 2025 though? Should've gotten a trade instead of a useless psychology degree. The name of the game is doing jobs AI can't replace and easy to make businesses for retard
>>215555961t. useless psych degree holder
>>215555961>just destroy your body by age 40 and get hooked on painkillers bro
>>215555570My family owns our home on a single salary with a father who didn't go to college. They bought the house in 2007.
>>215555621The fact that a boomer can borrow money from his greatest generation dad is absolutely mind blowing to gen-xers and millennials who can't get a wooden nickel from the boomers
Has any of the most well known characters ever die? I remember that Mr. Burns was shot but I think he didn't die. And , have they added any character?
>>215556065Good morning saar
>>215556052>they bought during a global market meltdownlucky, we need another
>>2155556472 stories and 2 car garage is 200k even in podunksville. Wtf you talking about.
>>215555740Adding everything up over 40 hours 30 years ago, Homer made $12/hour. Adjusted for inflation that's the equivalent of making $25.50/hr today. That's a decent wagie wage especially if you live in an area of the country with a low cost of living.
>>215556166>That's a decent wagie wage especially if you live in an area of the country with a low cost of living.the median salary in my back water of home buyers last year was over $30/hr
>>215556064what the fuck are you talking about, inheritance from boomers is the greatest wealth transfer in history
>>215556198Nigga, that means a 2 income household is pulling in 120k/year on average. You are retarded or a zoomer to think that's back water.
>>215556250Yeah to rapist Indians and BBC nignogs. God bless boomers and Americunt the freedom less. All for whores to sell their bodies for a million dollars a year. Gross
>>215556270trust me, its backwater
>>215556272
>>215556272What are you talking about? You're going to get properties from your grandparents (4 of them), parents (2 of them), you're going to be a millionaire. I don't understand what Americans are always whining about when they all have families they're going to inherit some extremely expensive shit from.
>>215556198Less than 40% of people are employed so your median salary is actually $12/h and you are just ignoring the majority of people.
>Homer owns a palace with a 2 car garage that has a staircase going nowhere
>>215555961It's about 70k anon 100-120 if experienced. Stop lying
>>215556370can you read anon? 60% of home buyers aren't unemployed
>>215556338>you might inherit something when you are 70 if you don't have any other relatives for some reasonWoah, just in time to start a family.
>>215555702You're not good at speaking>>215556378>staircase going nowherehuh
>>21555639460% of homebuyers are blackrock kikes that run the money printer.
living like a millionaire was not considered living like a millionaire back then
>>215556410it doesnt account for corpo buyers but yes that is why the market is fucked I agree
>>215556410I thought this to but actuality its like 80% of all homes belong to boomers.
>>215556426The market is fucked, I agree.
>>215556445And I think like 50% of them have more than one property
>>215556400So you admit that you actually have at least one house that you'll inherit and that you can live in for free right now if you want, nice. Retarded ungrateful piece of shit.
money is worthless. we only agree on its worth because we agree
>>215556338>I don't understand what Americans are always whining about when they all have families they're going to inherit some extremely expensive shit from.I also hear Americans talk about boomers just giving all of their kids the finger and either spending all of the would-be inheritance on vacations or just putting them out of most of it in general so I wouldn't be too sure about that.
>>215556591Rare cases where someone was enough of a cunt to get disinherited probably, and even then they can sue for it.
>>215556338Boomers already cashed out on those properties and blown them cruises, vacations and tropical retirement communities
>>215555570>guy works at a literal nuclear powerplant>"hurr but he didn't go to college!"This shit is still true. I know someone who never went to college who makes 6 figures. It's who you know and luck, that's it. Always has been.
>>215556671Yeah I'm sure that your mom just told you "sold the house, you'll be homeless when I die, fuck you lol I'm going on a cruise with Jamarcus" retard.
>>215555570DUDE THINGS CHANGE THE ECONOMY CHANGES AND IS NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS 30 YEARS AGO I'M GOING INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>215556250My boomer dad died years ago and didn't leave ne a fucking penny
>>215555740$48,900 a year AFTER taxes in 2025 dollars. Or roughly $4000 a month to live off of... considering shit was cheaper in 1989 that's not terrible. Add in they live in a small town in 1989 and that's definitely middle class living.
>>215556402Its a S3 artifact that's in a few episodes, like the school steeple. There's some stairs in the back corner of the car hole near the door.
>>215556724And the houses went where? Where's your mom? Grandparents? Uncles/aunts?
>>215556693I actually know a few boomers who take pride in not leaving their kids any money. But it's more they talk about it like it would be a crutch for them and they don't want their kids to be lazy, like they are doing them a big favor in the long run.
>>215555961>randomly lumps in barber with all those cool ass skilled-labor jobsLol. Spotted the hairstyling faggot
>>215555932Why are you defending this repetition? You don't like it either. YOU are in the wrong place.
>>215556250Why are you posting that? What reaction do you think it conveys?
>>215556767What houses
>>215556402wrong I'm better than speaking than anyone. English is just nonsense.
>>215556820Did all your ancestors up until you live in a hole in the ground?
>>215556782lots of people talk like this, as if it's naughty to set your kids up for life. These people don't realize that even Bill Gates who donates most of his money still leaves each of his kids multiple millions afaik. I vaguely remember it was something like 50 million each.
>>215556782Well of course they are, their kids can just pull themselves by their bootstraps and make as much money as the boomers did just by doing the same work they did.Live the american dream you know?
>>215556410schizo post
>>215556045>barber>destroy your body
>>215556591>>215556671Sorry YOU got fucked. My parents love me. I get a half million dollar house and $100,000 in savings.
>>215555570My dad never went to college and made over 6 figures but even in the 90s a house like that in the suburbs of a nice city would still be impractically expensive
>>215556250Ironic, isn't it?
>>215556338The only members of those 6 you listed that have any property to pass along are my maternal grandparents and their condo is going to either my loner incel uncle (the only boy they had) or being sold and split between their 4 kids (one of whom is my mon) and by the time it trickles down to me I doubt there will be anything left considering I have 3 siblings myself.You underestimate how little boomers actually care about their families beyond doing the bare minimum until the kids are 18 then all but booting them out the door.Meanwhile there are some families where the lucky little shits inherit a house as soon as they turn 18 and get to save the 30-50% of income that everyone else has to pay on rent / mortgage. Fucking horseshit.
>>215556064My boomer dad helps me out, sorry you have shitty parents
>>215556782No you don't. You saw that in some movie. Only really rich assholes are worried about "spoiling" their adult kids with inheritance money. Like everything on this site, you find some rare thing and exaggerate it into "ALL boomers do this" nonsense. Everything is so extreme and binary here. Not at all like the real world.
>>215556386Not really, once you're a journeyman you can already make insane money with overtime
>>215556898I misread nvm, it is more like low six figures
>>215556873Americans are weird, in Europe you end up with like 5 houses by 40. I'm the only loser that didn't and won't, I only got a tiny little 40sqm studio apartment and I'm fucked, I can't rent out properties to live on like everyone else.
>>215556890What are you the boomer defense force? It's literally a whole group of guys at work who talk about this stuff all the time. >Only really rich assholes are worried about "spoiling" their adult kidsWhat movies are you watching Mr. Projection? Holy shit, rich dudes but their 16yr Olds Porsches and pretend they don't want to spoil their kids when talking to their friends at the Yacht club
>>215556935>in Europe you end up with like 5 houses by 40No you don't you dork
>>215555570People have to be someone else's test because of the royals and how Europeans deal with each others company.
>>215556685Now more than ever. Things have degraded. Now you are better off being incompetent and connected than competent and unconnected.
>>215556923With a shit load of overtime I'll clear 100,000 but after taxes I'll get maybe 65k. T. Electrician
>>215556338Yeah I’ll get maybe 50$k in 2040 which will be like 30$k today. What am I supposed to do when I’m almost 50?
I always thought Homer would probably be making more money from working at a nuclear plant than the show suggests he does.
>>215557000CheckedBut that has never not been the case anon. >now more than everNo, just feels like it cause you're experiencing it.
>>215557011What are you inheriting, a small car lmfao?
>>215556338My mom double mortgaged her house and my dad blew his recent stock profits on a second house, where I know he won’t finish paying it off before he dies of obesity in the next few years
>>215557032he work at ice cream parler
>>215557044>divorced parentswew
>>215557044What does any of this mean? Do they own it or not?
>>215557038I’m not getting a piece of either of those homes my parents own, and with runaway inflation, who knows if they’ll even have anything left to give me after they’re done with their 17 vacations every year?
>>215556338>You're going to get properties from your grandparents (4 of them), parents (2 of them), you're going to be a millionaireI have like 60 first cousins lol, I might get my parents house though, but even then Id imagine I'll have to buy out my siblings share
>>215557044There is not a single boomer I know who doesn't have or is not planning on buying a second property as a rental and>make some passive income100% of them. They all talk about it and in the same conversation ask you why you still live in an apartment. Makes me want to scream.
>>215557059I don’t know because they won’t fucking tell me any of this. History has shown they only voted for policies that benefitted them that won’t exist for people my age when we’re the boomer’s age. 30 years old and I feel like I won’t even have a goddamn further because of boomer greed. Stop defending them please. It makes me sick.>>215557058Another way my mom fucked me
>>215555570It's still normal. Homer works at a Nuclear power plant in a small town and makes a middle class income.
>>215555918Marge sounds like a Fallout ghoul now
>>215557033I don't know anyone who gets a good job now without knowing someone. In the past people used to be able to.
>>215557073Why aren't they saving up for you right now? Do you even talk to them? Are you just a retarded teen angst baby?
>>215555771Homer just showed up on the first day and they gave him a job.
>>215557098Ok so they're rich and you're fine. Another ungrateful cunt.
>>215557142Less people and people socialized a lot more, like a lot. They had a hundreds of friends/acquaintances who they actually knew in person and talked to not just fb friend like today.
>>215557191I don't want to be seen as a fundie by my surroundings, so I keep clear.
>>215557291Ok so another rich retard with no troubles in life. Always turns out that way.
>>215557319Oh fuck off. Everyone has their troubles. It's extremely ignorant to think otherwise.
>>215557319This guy>>215557291Isn’t me, he’s a stupid spammer baskin schizophrenic>>215557191I’ve tried talking to them about it, they won’t ever tell me except my dad said he would “take care of me” when he passes. But seeing how much he splurges, I fucking doubt it.
>>215557347??
>>215557205Why won't you fucking listen? You used to be able to ably for a job as an outsider and get it.
>>215557396Could you ? You don't really know do you? I'm sure you had to know someone back then to. Think about what I said about acquaintances and you'll realize I'm not a retard, I'm making sense.>oh you're friends with Jimmy's cousins boy? I know you
>>215556166You can't support three children and a wife, two cars and a mortgage on $25.50
>>215556386I make $350 installing doors. Seriously, $350 per door.
>>215557551Well women were bored and had to have careers too! stop blaming boomers for taking the deals they were offered at the time and blame the real culprits.
Genuinely who else is waiting for their parents to die? I love my mom and dad but I'm collecting that house, and four pensions worth of inheritance someday.
Every sitcom house is a mansion so that every character can have their quiet moments. It is not indicative of average American life of the time.
>>215557594I don’t understand why women would even want to work. It doesn’t make any sense, working is soul crushing.
>>215557596Same. Mine are in their 70s and I'm their only kid, 26. Feelsbadman
>>215557596Yeah that's my gameplan to own a home long term. My mom knows it, already has her will in place to leave me the house and the rest of her fortune. She worked for almost 40 years at the same job earned a pension, 401k, and now is sitting on almost 2 million dollars. She didn't even have to dip into it to buy her current house because she sold her old house and the proceeds covered the new house and some to spare because she downsized to a smaller square footage. She will probably live another 20 years, so I won't be inheriting anything until I'm 50.
>>215557637>parents were 46 at least when they had youYou must be very ugly or very autistic
>>215557632Their children anon. They see something and >I wanna do that! >no, no trust me you don't kid>waahhhh wahhhh I WANT IT!!>okay but you'll regret it
you can still do this if you live in a flyover state. go for it poors
>>215557692And be neighbors with Sam Hyde and nick Rochefart
>>215557663Autistic, yes, where di you think you are? I look like James Taylor in Two Lane Blacktop so I'm not worried in that department.
>>215557735Him?
>>215557596Me too. So sick of being condescended to by them. I’m in my 30s now and they treat me like a kid still!!!!
>>215557656Fuck you.
>>215555570This would absolutely mindbreak Zoomers. No college degree job single income allows to own a home and fully support a family.
>>215557504I got jobs in the past without knowing anyone. Seems harder now.
>>215555961>welder, AC guy, electrician, plumber, barber makes $200k starterStop making shit up faggot
>>215557796It's him.
>>215555570My grandmother had a bilevel but sort of similar house (no garage) and her husband paid $15,000 for it.
>>215557848Why so hostile? Sour grapes will get you nowhere
>>215555570He also worked at a nuclear powerplant. Also in real life boomers would take out big loans to buy houses like this and millennials and zoomers never take out a loan for anything because they are afraid to commit.
>>215558184Yeah and if I suck your retard cock suddenly I'm going to get born into a good family? Hope you get fucking ass cancer.
is the dream of a single homeowner all but dead in 2025? all my friends who are homeowners have roommates/live with siblings.
>>215556338One set of my grandparents are already dead and the inheritance split between my parent+aunts/uncles was not much as my grandmother was basically living off my dead grandfather's veteran pension. After my other grandmother died my remaining grandfather hooked up with a scammer from the philippines and when he dies she's going to take his house and all his money so his children get nothing.
>>215555641Nursings homes are expensive
>>215558223rofl
>>215558259>my remaining grandfather hooked up with a scammer from the philippines and when he dies she's going to take his house and all his moneyDude. I'm from fucking Eastern Europe and I was waiting for my American uncle's inheritance, because he is the only foreign family I had (the others never went anywhere and were dirt poor and left me nothing), and the motherfucker sold his fucking house, his guns, his motorcycles, and went to the Philipinnes and got married to some scamming golddigger and now I am fucked FOREVER, this was my only chance of ever being able to buy a place to live in.
>>215556338I got nothing from my grandparents and my parents don't have money or a house.
>>215558366>>215558253>>215558223Try to get into crypto when it dumps soon, if you have any spare cash lying around. With a Little luck you can make it bros.
>>215555570I assume Homer gets a nice salary as inspector of security but he spend it all in his crazy adventures
>>215558415How much money do you need and how do you buy it? And how do you cash it out? It seems very convoluted and possibly illegal in Europe.Meanwhile all the fucking drug addicts and other even worse criminals just had millions of Bitcoin lying around suddenly.
>>215558522A few thousand should be enough to make it if you pick the right Alts. Failing that, work and put it into bitcoin.
>>215555904Make a better thread, thenPro-tip: you can't.
>>215558415>le cryptothe definition of the blind leading the blind. not falling for your digital currency scamcoins
>>215555740Homer was supposed to be "better" vs the average sitcom protagonist when the show started (Married with children, Salesperson. Rugrats, puppetmaster. Fraiser, talk show in a radio station)Homer has a high paying, highly technical, administrative trade and get royalties of other 188 jobs, his income should be over $500,000/year in the most recent season
>>215555647I fucking WISH
>boomer dad buys house in 90s>this year, sees article online>"is the american dream of home ownership dead?">he says "what are these people talking about? i got one"mfw. the fuck you, got mine meme is true.
i know this is (partly) just how inflation works, but i realized i've now spent more in three years' rent than what my landlord paid for the property.
>>215559212you.

They live in a town in a flyover state that has a nuclear plant. Yes the houses will be afffordable.

>>215556821>wrong I'm better than speaking than anyone. English is just nonsense.>Makes money constipated to work with.You sure about that, chief?
>>215555740This. Every other episode has a joke or a plot "call to action" where the Simpson's house has something wrong with it (because it's badly built) and they need money for the right trade worker. Plus, they have that station wagon with shriveled metal on the driver's side that they never fix. Then there are other episodes where Lisa wants a pony or a dress or some bullshit and Homer needs to work overtime or take a second job. The Simpson's are not a middle class family. They live paycheck to paycheck.
>>215555961>Should've gotten a trade instead of a useless psychology degree.What are you even talking about? Homer didn't go to college before he started working for the power plant. He went to college for that one episode AFTER he got the job and the house, though.
>>215555914He's making a Sneed joke
>>215555570life was better back then
rob
>>215555570Eh, I'm a skilled tradie with no college degree and can afford a shitty house in a mid sized Oregon town like where that's set. If my gf was raising kids then that would be a huge amount of the child care costs taken care of too. Also Homers dad gave him the down payment for that house. I'm more interested in a smaller single story like Hanks home though.
>>215556767My boomer dad sold our house back in 2006 and ended up clearing $108,000 after taxes and other shit. Of course the fuck spent almost all of it within 10 years and left his kids $0
>>215555621Yea and his dad was supposed to live there too, he did for a while. They made jokes of it, but reality is Abe would have had to live there and they couldn't afford the old folks home......but it's a cartoon.
>>215555771There's actually a lot of jobs at nuclear power plants that don't require higher education. Homer worked in a position like that till he got a promotion. Then >>215555686 happened later.
>>215555961>Average oil man, lumberjack, welder, AC guy, electrician, plumber, barber makes $200k starter in 2025 though
