Great post, I’ve noticed this a lot also. News . com . au post at least 1 article about gen Y bashing a month. Normally written by some baby boomer. Lol.
@Pikers81, thanx mate, yeah I read those articles too.
its easy to say to “work hard and save like we did” but they are not comparing apples with apples..
Fair rant. What about inflation. Was there incentive to save back then compared with now. Inflation eats savings up. I think inflation is going to ‘continue’ to be used to support housing. Saving is dead. Inflation surely outstrips bank interest. Immigration will be ramped up big time when boomers want to sell. It’s that simple. The Australian Govt has two main priorities: mineral export & real estate support mechanisms. The rest is chicken feed.
@halfasheep yeah I made a video about inflation called ” infaltion the stealth tax” basically showing how our money supply (M3) has been growing at 11% p.a for the past decade along with the price of houses, oil, silver etc.. while the goverment reports inflation at only 3% per year. for that reason alone I’ve been putting my money into hard assets for some time now
You’re totally right, western standards of living have been declining for years, precisely because western productivity has been deteriorating. We work just as hard, its just that “the economy” isn’t as good at using it.
