All those boomers whose median age is 66 in the next decade getting COPD, CHF, and broken hips unable to keep up and mow their .25-.5 acre, 3-4 bed/1.5-2.5 bed home.

I don't' know many Boomers still hanging on their Burbdale starter home they bought in the 70's. They flipped that shit decades ago and are living Faulty Towers Condominium with bigger problems than you. Folks here in South Florida are having a hell of a time selling any Condo. Buyers are turned off on the serial recertifications that they are increasingly being subjected to. Especially after that Miami condo collapse. They buyers aren't willing to take on the prospect of a $10K assessment every 10 to 20 years.

But Boomers don't live in .25 acre lots with the 1700 sqft ranch style house built on the lot. Those days are long past them. Many may live in huge gated community zero lot 2500 sqft houses with Jumbo loans. But not your Burbdale crapshacks.

Very common in Florida. Many guys who brought just the home I described during the 2008 Recession thinking to retire in it around Orlando or Vero Beach. Lots and lots of suburban-loving Boomers loathe condos generally.

My advice to California crap shack bagholders is to sell today.

Economists routinely ignore and downplay the most relaible stat in Social Science, Demographics. Just as inflation was caused by Boomers all entering the workforce, family formation, and peak earning years around the early 70s, so will the housing bust be driven by Boomers entering their 70s in the 2020s.

I'm a boomer and most guys I know don't like the idea of selling their house.
I just met a guy in La Paz who is from San Diego and he's renting out his house up in Diego and bought one here for $150,000 if I recall correctly.
I predict the boomers will throw in the towel and sell in the next 15 years maybe.
Guys who are selling are escaping NYC and NJ.
There's no point staying up there to be pushed in front of a subway or be taxed to death while freezing all winter.

Exactly, but necessity is a bitch.

Most boomers I know simply repeated as close to what they had in Long Island or New Jersey in Florida. They didn't want a condo, they wanted a typical house with a garage, maybe a bit less acreage or one less bedroom. They needed a garage for their fishing poles and little pontoon boat and trailer, can't store those in a condo and don't wanna pay and bother storing them offsite to hook it all up at 5AM.

To them, used to NYC/Chicago/Boston/DC/Philly Metro Area prices, it was a steal at $150k in 2010. They saw the 2021 price of $300k and what houses go for up north, dammit, that's what they think it's worth

Nevermind it's got the original 1994 Roof and Carrier A/C.

Can't speak for TX or AZ but I bet a lot of Cali Crapshack owners repeated what they had in the SFBA there and thought it a steal at a third the price.

Hopefully the affordable housing Jeannie will blink for us.

One boomer I know in Santa Cruz would like to sell and relax somewhere else but his wife says NO.
(Sometimes I want to ask guys just how good a pussy is that they can control the guy with it.)
I digress.
So he's still working but it's his little business and he's not busting his ass anymore.
But he's 70 and working ☠️
My boomer friend with the best arrangement is in San Diego; he rents out his condo and lives in his girlfriend's house (her request of course).
Now he's got positive cash flow to da max!

Think of all the pussy this guy could have if he rented his house and chilled in the Philipenes or Thailand. Long silky haired way pre-pre-pre-menopause hot jungle pussy, cheap eats, great hotels. They'd put the toothpaste on his toothbrush and cook Khao Pad Krapow from scratch and not a complaint.

What's really sad is the 70-year old guys in Florida whose old grouch wives lock them out of the house all day, and they spend it futzing around the garage, despite a lifetime of work and savings and sacrifice.

AmericanKulak says

No wife, happy life.

All of my friends over 60 that never got married or had kids, envy the hell out of me now. When we were younger, they thought I was playing the suckers game getting married and having kids. But they fully expected the marriage to end up like most marriages in divorce.

Every divorced person I have known over 50, eventually come to the hard realization. That while they thought they were ditching the wife, when they filed for a divorce. They actually ended up divorcing their family.

Happy wife happy life and all of that shit, marriage is a Duty. Nobody understands that anymore. The 20th Century made everyone believe that Marriage is like a hat you buy at Macy's if you don't like it just return it.

I believe Elizabeth Taylor normalized divorces. Before the 50's a divorced woman was damaged goods and the shame of her maiden name family. And a guy that abandoned his family was the lowest vermin there was. To day kids with married parents is the rarity and outlier.

Tenpoundbass says

80% of divorces are filed by women, not men.

Something like half of all Boomers have been married and divorced twice.

The handful - and the numbers are much worse if you exclude people under OVER (had a brain fart) 65 for marriage rates - that stay married once and forever - most of them the man is a run down, henpicked fella just trying to placate his wife into leaving him in peace for a few hours here and there.

I've seen many a Cool Chad Guy be worn down into dust by a Harpy Wife. I'd say about a third of all men over 65 still married are locked out of the house all day. Another third are nagged into endless boring "vacations" they don't want to take after a lifetime of commuting and hardwork. Maybe a third can actually enjoy being retired and not the dogsbody of Herself Who Must Be Obeyed.

You can easily have kids without being married.

Tenpoundbass says

That's women. Not men.

And the ex lies her ass off to the kids about who did what to whom. Most kids eventually discover after reaching late teens/adulthood it was Dad who was the Good one, and the Mom lied, cheated, a bottomless pit of demands and wants, and/or was disrespectful.

Several friends of mine down here have GREAT relationships with their adult children, that weren't so great when the kids were living under the Harpy's lies and manipulations.

Those who believe women have to believe that 80% of men who ever got married are "Abusive, Lazy, Addicts".

The gym I frequent now is full of elderly male boomers all day, but moreso in the very early morning hours. They are nice chatty fellas but it's clear to me they can't wait to leave the house early am ;)

What's the inventory? A massive drop in sales might mean no one is selling and inventory is low. Those that NEED to buy will pay. Anything under 4-6 months will likely result in price increases or at least stabilize it. Number of sales means dick as a metric if no one is selling and staying put. Especially during February. That's when you list and aren't closing until April/May.

People want new places/houses by the start of summer once school is out. Next somewhat busy season is pre-holiday. Close in September or October so you can show off your new place to family at Thanksgiving and Christmas. If May-September inventory spikes, then maybe the bears are right. I'm not seeing it here in IL at least. We've had our exodus already. I wouldn't like owning in CA now. Austin, Nashville, Denver have a downside. I don't think rural, small towns will lose much if anything in any downturn. Cities are run like shit and Chicagoans are moving 60 miles out by me whenever something is available to buy, which is rare.

Enjoy it while it lasts, since everybody over 60 will probably be eventually killed, anyway, except the elites. Inching towards SS and Medicare is when you become a serious collecting creditor of the system. Then, lots of cheap real estate for everybody (until you reach the magic age, too!)

In Dallas-Fort Worth, 10 years ago the median home price was roughly $160,000. It hit $405,000 this summer. Moreover, 10 years ago the median 30-year fixed mortgage rate was about 3.4%– now it's more than double. The narrative is that there's an enormous housing shortage and everyone should borrow as much money as possible to buy as big of a house as possible–hurry up and don't miss out! However, the popular narrative is likely wrong.

Back in 2012, if you could cough up a 20% down payment, the principal and interest on the median house would set you back $567 per month– making it a no-brainer to buy a house. Now, under these same assumptions, the principal and interest payment is $2,155 per month.

The median income is up about 29% over the past 10 years in Texas, and the typical mortgage payment is up 280%. That's a terrible deal! Especially when you consider that the property taxes have tripled as well in many cases. Yes, there are plenty of people here old enough to remember paying much higher mortgage rates in the past. The difference is that they were paying it on a low-priced home, not paying many multiples of their salary just to buy a basic starter home at 7% interest. Roughly 75% of buyers have to use financing, so housing is extremely sensitive to higher rates.

But everybody is moving to Texas, right? People are, but not as many as you'd think. Texas is historically fairly cheap because there aren't a lot of constraints to supply, unlike California (which Texas is always compared to). But housing units per capita are roughly at 2008 levels, while prices are far higher. This is a clear argument that the housing boom was not caused by an actual "housing shortage," but rather by the Fed and global central banks artificially suppressing interest rates for years as a sort of economic science experiment that led to ~10% inflation and economic chaos.

That's not having kids that's having an albatross around your neck.

You're forced to pay for the kids until they are 18, and if you were never married your chances of getting joint custody is nill.
But the State of Florida anyway, will force you to pay Child support until the kid is 18. After the kid grows up, it's a 50/50 chance that the mother didn't brainwash the kid into loathing you for being absentee and resent you for all of the times you pissed and moaned about having to support them growing up.

AmericanKulak says

That's women. Not men.

It's both of them, most of the time it's no secret the woman is getting tired of their shit. The man chose to keep late hours ignoring his wife, going on weekend excisions to Baja with Clambo even though he bragged about all of the hot ass down there.

And the non married schmucks that piss and moan about men that would rather stay home and do the right thing by his family. Are the biggest losers of all. They never got it, and never will get it. They think they have all of the friends they need. Until the money is gone, and their health fades, and they are in the hospital dying broke and alone. All of your good time buddies,(Might be dead and gone by then too) wont be there with you.

Or worse your good time buddies go and get married and leave you to party alone, after helping convince you that's a suckers life. And at an age you can't make new friends, or find a long term woman.

Yeah those men who do the right thing by their family what a bunch of schmucks.

I keep telling my kids that choosing a life partner is the single most important decision they will ever make. So be freaking meticulous about that shit! Don’t just get married because she’s hot or he’s tall and has a good job. Get married to the right person for you.
All my kids are good looking, so they should never feel like they should have to settle for a crazy hot chick. Get a sane hot chick instead, with a good work ethic and good with kids. That’s what you want in a wife. It’s what I held out for, and it’s been a decision I can live with. It’s nice having someone to count on, someone on my team with whom I can celebrate all our wins as they are wins for the team not just us as individuals. We can collaborate on raising the kids, do couples dates, and generally do life together.
That’s my favorite part of marriage. It’s not all about the ass.

50/50 Parental Custody is the Florida State Standard for a father who establishes paternity and pays support.

The "Piss and Moan for support" really means "The Mom spent the child support on her hair and nails and clothes"

Grey Divorces are the fastest growing divorce segment, and it's almost entirely women divorcing men just prior to their retirement for max payout, and endemic among boomers.

TPB, for thousands of years, marriage was considered a burden for the man and society softened the blow by giving married men deference, tax cuts, final authority over spending (since he had the primary responsibility, only fair he have the final say) etc.. In the past few decades, just like with Fags and Trans and Unwed Mothers, all of a sudden Marriage is this Wonderful Boon for Men and They Oughta Be Lucky(tm) to have a nagging wife who is "Helping them live longer"(tm).

The real old movies, the ones before the 1950s, some guy on a desert island paradise and then stranded women show up and he's like "oh, crap, there goes paradise". As I kid I was like "Why is this guy upset he's got 3 gals to bang." Old School guy was wise: He knew he had three permanent adolescents to provide for now.

For me, I'm getting off the plantation. "But massah so good and wise, you jus' down appreciate yous lives da longer than if yous went out a West'a"

Tenpoundbass is talking about a scary scenario which I hope not to suffer.
I can say that as I have gotten a little older and have stayed in shape and my net worth has increased, people are still friendly to me.
The people on the scuba diving boat are all generally much younger than I, yet they're very nice to me.
As far as advanced age, I'm going to have some money set aside for this eventuality.
My parents both had difficulties; I can attest that my siblings were not particularly interested in them in their time of need.
Since I was the "black sheep" and had no WIFE controlling my life, I could change my circumstances to help my parents out.
I think having a female partner is fine; but I see no reason to give her a legal advantage over me and a club to beat me with if I piss her off.

Edit: In Florida the females are also friendly and fun to be around. The place where they are a pain is Santa Cruz, California.

I think all of the selfish people who said.
"There's no way I'll bring a kid into this world."
Are part of the bigger problem. Just maybe, their kids may have been the ones to go on, and kick the shit out of all of the fuckers, that makes living so fucked up, people have this line of thinking. The majority of the kids born were born into ass kissing parents who looked at parenting as some social experiment about their feelz and the current thing in regards to rearing children. That lot got it so fucking wrong, what is missing is the jaded Fathers, who stuck around in spite of the situation. And took no shit from their kids or wife. For that Father was the best father of all, and raised kids that could see the world for what it is, instead of the way self help books describe.

What we rarely see with the generations under 50. I have never heard a nary one of them say.

"My Mama didn't raise no fool!"

Now what did Boomers and Gen-Xers mean by that? Surely they aren't suggesting their mother tutored them into being a Mensa society genius.
They simply meat they got their asses beat for all of the stupid shit they did, to the point they were wise enough to know and recognize danger, and precarious situations, that could legally imperil them or know a sour deal when they saw it.

The generations now, all they know is their parents thought they were a foot ball to pass back and forth and quarrel over. There is no imparted wisdom in those arrangements.

Never knock a couple trying hard not to raise a fool.

Tenpoundbass is talking about a scary scenario which I hope not to suffer.

My buddy Pito in his last two weeks was having regrets. He was talking about a girl he should have married, and the house he almost bought. He lived hand to mouth like he was 16 all the way until the very end. He would shirk any responsibility adulting beyond owning a vehicle and working(Just enough to pay his bills and feed his head).

I really thought he was going to pull through, I didn't realize he was as sick as he was. I knew he was affected by the clot shot, but I suspected that if the Clot shot didn't kill him outright with a heart attack or stroke, then perhaps his body was going to repair and heal itself. In the end he died alone in the hospital, no friends and family by his side. Had he had an immediate family of wife and kids, then perhaps they would have clued me in on how serious it was, and that he code three times and I need to get down there and visit him.
I saw him just the day before he went into the hospital and died the next day. He said to me, "Well I guess this is it, if I don't see you any more it's been real" to which I said. "Man don't talk like that, is it really that bad Pito." He just smiled and said no I'll be OK. I didn't want to encourage him to die, so I didn't fawn over it much. I wasn't informed when he went to the hospital the next day. Even his room mate figured he was just going to the hospital for a few days, and be back out after a few days on an IV drip.

@clambo
Have you ever considered adopting? Having someone else to take care of gives you a reason to live and establishes meaning in life. You don’t have to be married to adopt. And it would offer you a solid connection to another person who’s going to be an adult by the time you’re truly old. It might just be the best thing you ever did.

Lighten up, Francis. I'm just having dark humor and being salty about aging. No matter how Hip some Boomers are, age is coming for them as it will for me.

If you read my later posts, you can read between the lines and see I am PO'd about boomer dudes getting Finraped just before/at retirement.

At some point in time "No Fault" needs to be combined with "No Thing". Like after 20 years, if you leave without a cause, you leave without a payout.

Robert Sproul says

Maybe this is one reason the southern border is wide open.

Check from the government, check from a corporation paying for an employee, check from a private citizen.

As long as the check comes, the landlord is happy. Of all of them the latter is the most likely not to pay on time.

But a falling population means he has to offer more sq ft for the price, or lower his prices. It also means a smaller labor force with the same housing stock and thus higher demand for wages. And that don't make him happy, so he opens the gates.

I keep telling my kids that choosing a life partner is the single most important decision they will ever make. So be freaking meticulous about that shit! Don’t just get married because she’s hot or he’s tall and has a good job. Get married to the right person for you.

I would tell young guys insisting on engaging in the most mentally and fiscally risky decision they will ever make in their life (short of being drafted into a WW2 type situation) is to: Demand her Credit Report, mortgage the starter house in mom or dad's name before tying the knot, and spell out everything, like when and how the wife will become a SAHM if at all, and the distribution of assets in divorce, and definitely a prenup (which are tossed in Cali 50% of the time, but hey, do it anyway).

BTW, all this shit was normal for any person with any kind of assets and was insisted upon by their parents, and it's still a thing among old wealthy families

@Tenpoundbass is right - marriage used to be a family alliance. Alliances had clauses once enshrined by law (which have since WW2 radically changed) and by legal agreements in the early 20th and definitely the 19th going back centuries before that which judges almost always upheld to the letter. For example, before Family Courts existed and not that long ago, Divorces were handled by general Judges - County, City, State - like any other contract law between any kind of party.

It's now "Free Love" - which is the Free Love they were talking about from the late 19th, to the flappers in the 20s, until it became reality with the massive divorce law changes in the 1950s and 1960s. "Free Love" is not that traditional..

As for the new Family Law Courts, they are dominated by Lesbians and Feminists or Incompetents (but I repeat myself) too stupid and dangerous for the Bar to recommend them to oversee a "Real" Court, not even a Muni court that handles moving violations. Their sole job is to get the guy to pay as much as possible, for as long as possible within the law, so the State has as little exposure to paying welfare in as many cases as possible. They also work for Corporate Socialism, as 80% of consumer spending is female, and single fathers with custody raise the kids less expensively but the woman will soon be on welfare.

@Shaman
I think you make a good point.
I have a male friend who is much younger who was a neighbor in Jupiter, FL and he would probably be helpful when I am advanced in age.
However presently I'm with a girl in Mexico who is also younger than I am who wants to care for me if I stay with her.

Marriage in Mexico is interesting; you can choose "separate assets" as your form of marriage before you do the deed.
This is clever; you don't need a prenuptial agreement to protect yourself from financial ruin.

I'm considering marriage because I can decrease my 1040 taxes by 50% if I file "married filing jointly" and the female has no USA income.

Age changes are sometimes sudden; I was a gym rat and walked 10 hours per week and went to the beach and went scuba diving until I went on Medicare.
After one scuba dive in California walking back to the truck over sand with all my gear and weights on, I was fucked. My groin was killing me and months later I saw my X-Rays and the cause of the problem; arthritis.

Dysfunctional Families, that there's a load of bullshit the Godless Childless Loveless Commies coined to conn the American Nuclear family into believing that a Family with occasional disputes and discord, is somehow toxic and should be disbanded for the kid's sake. But then it turned out that it fucked those kids up to have their family structure ripped out from under them over a few petty words from Lesbian and Commie fag authors.

Yes, yet traditionalists need to be honest about how Grandpa Joe and certainly the Great+ Grandpas had to occasionally smack a wife's ass, could legally conceal money from wives, women needed permission to use husband's cards or cash, banks would not let wives access safety deposit boxes, etc.

"Shuddup, Margeret. Make me a sandwich. No more lace doillies. If you sneak into my desk and steal another $5, it's to the moon, Alice."

Now most of those wife management techniques are illegal/actionable and will put a man in jail or lose half his wealth. They were perfectly normal in Granddad's day. You don't need to go back that far to see it in Media as acceptable, and even starting a laugh track: The Honeymooners, or the McClintock movies (Donovan's Reef). In the lifetime of people living today.

Trads ignore the Fact of Historical Male Dominance in Marriage







(Note the women in this scene laughing as well - "Boy, she really pushed him too far and she's getting her comeuppance, hahaha")

This can't be ignored, since family/marriage is the cornerstone of society. Truthfully, female wilding is a top reason we are where we are. Nor is it all a "Side effect" of other things as Trads try to claim, it's actually a major Driving Thing. There's a reason all of civilization puts the women under the man's rubric, and it starts falling apart when they aren't.

Nor all husband's and men where abusive cads, there no shortage of fish monger wives,with a constant sour scorn. the true partnerships didn't make compelling stories. That's why we only think of the extremes.

Tenpoundbass says

Of course.

But there were means of reigning in female bad behavior by men, especially earlier in the marriage when they were young and the woman tried to dominate the man and he gave her some spankings now and again. Today, that's totally illegal.

Now we're utterly dependent on women being "Good" which, if you know girls and women, is a shit bet because All women/girls misbehave and Shit Test periodically. The reason they were better in the previous generations is because running a Shit Test too long had consequences from the man, and Men were regarded as Prizes for women not the other way around. Didn't need to be physical, he could simply take away her allowance for hair or fripperies.

When dating, men can also simply get up and leave as a shit test check.

When married with kids, men can't just get up and leave.

AmericanKulak says

There's a reason all of civilization puts the women under the man's rubric, and it starts falling apart when they aren't.

This is true. Women's minds are as different from men's minds as women's bodies are different from men's bodies.

Example: women have no inclination to defend borders because they know they will be taken care of, or at least not killed, no matter which men are in control. Men know that they will be killed or enslaved by invading men. For men, it is literally a matter of life and death to defend the border.

Yes.

There's one caveat to this. Older women past their fertility know their sons and grandsons and husbands and brothers will be killed, which makes them more likely to want to stop invaders. They can't have THEIR offspring, with no chance of making more, exterminated.

Young women know they can start again with Bak Tok, even if their family and kids are killed, and have more. Also, Bak Tok is now proven a superior male for killing her husband defending the walls..

The marriage debate is almost comical; anyone who thinks clearly knows it almost always benefits the female and not the male.

I remember hearing about the social norms in the 1940s and 1950s.
Before contraception went beyond diaphrams and condoms and abortion was legal, there was huge social pressure to be married to get action.

Now it's all available everywhere.

Guys get more of certain attributes as they age which women like; I was recently told by a younger female that she liked my personality. Without listing the attributes, I am sure that some of them improved as I got older. Obviously if I were Brad Pitt she'd not worry about those, but on the other hand, my age isn't a detriment from her point of view because she was attracted more to my personality than the hair on my temples. This girl is not a broke loser, and she's not seeking cash from me.

Women get negative attributes as they age; they look worse of course, but they also sometimes are bitter and worried compared to the positive outlook of younger girls.

Every young girl I knew growing up that had an Olderman that thought she was just crazy about him. Had a double life, when she left his house at 8 or 9 o'clock. She would go spend money and resources gleaned from Pops on her same age boyfriend. Sure there are exceptions to the rule but anyone that would bitch about being exploited by a wife in a marriage, then turn around and claim banging younger hot broads is less exploitative. Is a damn fool or blind.
I've never seen a hot younger girl court a broke dude over 50 that didn't have loads of money in the banks and had resources he was willing to spend on her every whim.

Taking a 22 year old to Ruby Tuesday for a burger and beer, buy her some chotskies, and bang her. Maybe she gives the hoodie you brought her in the mall to her skinny ass weedhead gamer boyfriend who is sitting at home watching anime.

OR

Taking a 42 year old to a nice Italian Restaurant, spend 4x more, listen to her talk about her boring ass work drama, her cats, the vineyard wine sampling she did last week with her girlfriends who then stayed at the AirBNB, her ex husband she left when the kids were grown, taking half the $350k home equity yet she blew through it all in a year with nothing to show for it but "experiences" from taking a cruise to the Bahamas with her alcoholic wine aunt girlfriends and all-new furniture in her rented apartment. How she's a catch because she makes $52k/year at Mid State Office Supply as Senior Accounts Payable Clerk. She tells you how she intends to spend the rest of her life on stupid ass "Travelling" every last dollar of her income with nothing saved.

Then she gets heartburn and she's already getting into menopause and doesn't want to fuck, please drop her home or pay for her Uber.

It's really not hard for any guy to take out 20-30 year old chicks these days and get some pussy; whereas 35+ chicks keep adding to lists of what they "Demand" and they "Know their worth". And they aren't DTF unless they've got baby rabies and are working on entrapment.

The big myths:
Postmenopausal women like to fuck (they don't, although a few do get a boost in sex drive, that's because they exhibit less estrogen and more testosterone but that also makes them have more hair all over and develop masculine facial features)

Older women "know what they like" - and it's you spending money on them for nothing in return. No more "I don't know" as to what restaurant, but whatever restaurant it is, is going to be EXPENSIVE. No dinner, No little sea side redneck bar

Older women are "easier to get along with and more comfortable in their own skin" - the first is a line, and the second is "more comfortable talking about their IBS symptoms, and being less anxious about their celluloid ridden, wrinkly old eye bags with extra hair all over her body".
