I'm 34. My grandpa who died late last year was in his 80s. He was able to afford a 3 story house with 5 acres and support his 5 kids, and wife who didn't work on a maintenance man's salary. He bought his house for 70K in the 70s and it just sold for close to 300K. I've been working since I was 14, I don't have nearly the wealth that my parents, or their parents had at the same age. Starting a family is a lot harder than in the past as well due to social media and dating apps. Although I'm married now, I had a hell of a time finding someone.
It is the plan to make each generation poorer than the last until it all falls apart. 2 jobs plus my wife works - barely making ends meet... I feel your pain.
I'm curious as to why his house was sold as opposed to passing it down? Was it that the family couldn't agree to anything else? I have the sense that in the old days, those things were passed down. It was expected that they would be passed down. They somehow got us to accept selling off the old things & buying new ones. With almost every house sold the bank makes money. Even if your relatives charged you a "mortgage" it would be better to give it to them than to the bank / Fed reserve system
Sorry, fren. yeah that's often the case. If we were not as badly oppressed with taxes & the Fed's money scheme, money wouldn't have been so tight for both your Mom to fix it up & 4 her siblings to need more cash. I am terribly sorry but not very surprised, something like that is almost always the case. :/

Yeah man, total bullshit lol. I'm ready for it all to fall apart
The intention is that father and mother work all day, and thus the government with its system will be in charge of indoctrinating the children.
Then that Grandparents are taxed harder to ensure they can not enrich the family. If taxes don't take the wealth, the medicine tax will...
Poorer in every respect, nor just financially. It's insane.

My parents couldn't afford to fix it, and my mom's siblings wanted some money from what I gathered.
