Boomers didn’t have
cable TV @ $30/mo, let alone Cable/Satellite/Streaming/Subscriptions running $100-200/mo
Fancy cell phones costing $1200 every two years. Let alone a $50-75/mo data plan
Internet service at $75-200/mo
Homes that were 2,000 sq ft larger than needed
$60K vehicles with 84-96 months of payments
Credit cards and associated 24-28% APR
A fast food culture, eating out 4-6X a week Instead of cooking at home for $2/person/meal or less.
$5-7 gourmet coffees
More than one car in the family
Cars that came with AC, Auto Windows/doors, automatic transmissions, let alone driver-less technology.
Many, many entertainment venues and options. A movie was a dollar, not $15. Movie snacks were reasonably priced.
Craft beers that are 5x more expensive than their Budweiser.
Designer clothes. Everyone wore a pair of Levi’s or Wranglers. Not Buckle $100 jeans.
I could go on and on how consumerism has plagued this generation more so than previous generations.

Or move down the road just a bit to this for $150k less. In a few years you sell for a profit & jump to something

What an idiot. A lot of those perceived financial shortcomings would go away if Millennials would stop
