After 7 (and continuing) months of house hunting, I can safely say that I started out as a millennial buyer but steadily evolving into a boomer.

[@tedo3332]

It took me 8 months to buy. That's a Gen-X trait. We don't trust anything and question everything.

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

I've learned to act as if I couldn't care less if I get the house...but then we buy houses needing lots of work (hubby was a home builder/renovator/property developer for years, so he has tools and skills. When the property is distressed, you can act like they're lucky you made an offer and get great deals. Even if you can only do the demo and paint, the savings on a renovation can be significant. Sweat equity is where it's at.

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

@@ah5721 We Don't do structural either, but hubby will still tackle electrical and plumbing as well as the stuff you mentioned and knock out or build walls for major changes. He'll buil an addition too, if we want it. He's very gifted, so places that don't get any nibbles are prime targets for sharks like us. If the roof and foundation are good, we'll give it a good look over for possibilities.

[@crismcdonough2804]

You're a little off. Avg sale price in 2022 was $267,549. If commission is 6% (sometimes lower) it would be $16,052. And you have to split that with other agent and other broker and your broker. So you get $4,013. With that you have to pay for license fees, CE credits and E and O insurance plus other expenses. Even if you sell one house a month you are making less than $50k.

[@kabc8547]

@@PettyPaigetastic some people don’t feel that an inspection is needed because they get worried the seller will go with someone else or they feel the seller is honest enough that they would tell them what’s actually wrong in the home before selling it and some just don’t feel they have the time to wait through the process. Many ppl have gone without getting an inspection and ran into a nightmare and some don’t get it and they are fine but when buying something like a home I say get it, PERIOD. In MY experience I have people I know (family & family friends) who have gone without and I just couldn’t get with their logic of passing up on that

[@desertrose0027]

@@kabc8547 Exactly! We were looking in 2019, so the market was hot but not quite as hot as it is now. Saw a fairly new house and everything looked ok until we got to the basement. There was a random hole in the wall that went under the master (which would be hard for even an inspector to properly check) and clear water stains on the walls. And the front yard sloped into the house, so you know that's where all the rain water was going. We didn't put in an offer, but we later found out from our realtor that it had sold for $20k over asking with a waived inspection. 😮 If even us, the non experts, can see the red flags who knows what other expensive problems were lurking in that house? It's crazy. I would rather lose a bid on a house than waive inspection.

[@matthew8153]

@@naturefleur2062 Public schools were designed to be for those too poor to afford proper schooling. Then laws changed and almost everyone goes to the public school closest to their house and parents have no choice of teacher.

[@naturefleur2062]

Actually, public schools were created in America to educate future factory workers: “The education system as we know it is only about 200 years old. Before that, formal education was mostly reserved for the elite. But as industrialization changed the way we work, it created the need for universal schooling. Factory owners required a docile, agreeable workers who would show up on time and do what their managers told them. Sitting in a classroom all day with a teacher was good training for that. Early industrialists were instrumental, then, in creating and promoting universal education. Now that we are moving into a new, post-industrial era, it is worth reflecting on how our education evolved to suit factory work, and if this model still makes sense.” Why would it matter WHICH public school teacher teaches a student? Shouldn’t they all be qualified if they are teaching dozens of different students each year, and hundreds of students during their career? And a student is taught by dozens of teachers in their time at school, IF they attend the full 12-13 years. I doubt only one teacher could be blamed for broad gaps in a student’s learning. It’s the system itself, isn’t it? Oh, but we aren’t allowed to find fault with the system, are we? Only those who don’t follow the leader are we allowed to mock. I think it’s laughable that the system nowadays preaches tolerance and inclusion, but those who prize their tolerant views so highly make fun of unschoolers, who they see as beneath them, an easy target, and a perfect target for ridicule. When unschoolers are actually ahead of their time, creating autodidactic learning environments for their children who grow up to thrive in the world and also feel a sense of ownership and satisfaction in their education for the most part. Ironic. Maybe that desire to mock and devalue and invalidate exists so much in those who champion public schools because deep down the public schoolers are intimidated by their public school graduate peers who chose to raise their kids outside the broken system, and whose kids somehow thrive WITHOUT the prized public schools? Maybe that smarts just a little too much to let go unpunished…..Bullying, that’s not something you’d find in public school culture.

When some of us late Boomers were buying our first houses in the 1970s and early 80s the elder generations were aghast that we were taking on mortgages at 8, 10, even 13% for 30 year fixed. My parents had 4% for 20 years on a $10 K house in 1960. My first house was a modest, much older house for nearly triple the price with 8% FHA for a decade longer. My mom is still in the first and only house they bought when they got married. I'm in the tenth house I bought. This was a very well done and funny bit comparing Millennials to Boomers. Somewhere in the future there will be an equally hilarious opportunity to compare old Millennials to Gen Covids or whatever the generation will be called.

That was awesome. I think of unschooling as the "control" in the educational experiment -- when kids basically stay ferrel. The scary thing is that unschooled kids do quite well on all the standardized testing. There is a good reason nobody is looking at this seriously.

[@omargoodman2999]

Depends on whether it's done correctly or incorrectly. If one just let's the kid lose to be completely self-sufficient in their own education (the feral approach) then of course it will turn out poorly when it comes to practical skills in society. The correct way to do it is to deliberately put the educational material within their reach in such a way that they never lose the intuitive and "playful" feeling of learning. The idea is that, at first, people learn because we *want* to; we're driven by natural curiosity and conduct our own experiments and research in a natural way, according to our own personal drive for knowledge. But, at a certain point, that gets overwritten by a different learning model; one where learning is work, it's a chore, it's undesirable, and imposed from the outside rather than a desire that wells up from the inside. Even if there's something you enjoy doing, if someone directs you to sit down and do it repeatedly, month to month, on *their* terms, just for the sake of improving your skill at it, even if it comes at the cost of your enjoyment, most people will grow up resentful that their joy was stripped away. Consider musicians who _love_ music, but get burnt out doing it as a job. Consider a programmer who _loves_ the challenge of solving an interesting problem by coming up with a unique new code structure, but gets burnt out from making the same old copy-paste programs with only the most marginal of changes. Regarding the Standardized Tests, I'm not sure if it's related, but I, myself, struggled back when I was in public school. I was a "gifted" kid, and let me say this, being "gifted" is no gift; or, at least if it is, it's not a cool gift like birthday gifts or Christmas gifts. It's the lame kind of gift like Hanukkah gifts or "I almost forgot our anniversary and had to get something last minute" gifts. I started off doing *really* well because learning _was_ fun. I took to it like a fish to water. But, as time went on, I became more disillusioned with the school system. I still loved to learn; one of my hobbies was to just grab an encyclopedia and start reading. But the *way* that it was done in schools was what bothered me. Most kids needed 20-50 repetitions to really solidly fix a concept in their mind; I had it in about 3-5 and I was ready to move on to the next thing, but I couldn't. I *had* to do all 20-50 repetitions, designed for typical students, well past the point of understanding and interest. To compound that issue, I had mild ADHD and, while the effects were being treated with counseling (no meds needed at the time), I was *never* informed as to what I had or how it was what was _causing_ those effects. So, when it came to Standardized Tests, I was absolutely acing them... while pulling about a 2.5 GPA. I could sit at home and run math equations "just for fun" or research a random topic that popped into my head just fine, but the moment it became a homework assignment, I lost all interest. So I get the distinct impression, given the similarities, that a lot of these "unschooled" kids are probably a lot like I was; gifted, maybe mild unknown ADHD, lots of random knowledge based on whim and fancy, and excellent when it comes to one-off challenges like Standardized Tests. If public schools were less "one-size-fits-all" and better accommodated people like me and other neurodivergent students, they could more reliably do things like "unschooling" the correct way.

Those of us born in the late 70s to early 80s were caught between generations, sort of mini generation of our own that doesn't really fit in with either, commonly called Xennials. I know I'm not a Boomer. My point was simply that I related far more to the Boomer character than the Millennial.

Behold, us kids from the Oregon Trail Generation. We learned what a card catalog was but grew up with computers, too. We read the fine print and we use Zillow. We can translate between Millennials and Boomers and get lost in between. It’s been the best. And we played the hell out of Oregon Trail at school on old Apple IIe (2-E) computers.

As someone who just went house hunting at the same time as my in law's, this is completely accurate. When my MIL came to me after reading a contract for 3 weeks (she had that luxury because she was buying off market) and asked if she should ask for $500 more off the asking price or just sign the document I was like, "OH MY GOSH JUST SIGN IT!"

I feel like this is pretty accurate. I'm a Gen Xer, but my daughter and SIL just bought a house. We wondered what they even looked at when they saw it. The number of questions they answered with, "I don't know," was a little alarming.

[@guytech7310]

The bright side of being a Gen X is that our generation is so small, that we are never the butt of these types of jokes. On the flip side Gen-X has almost no influence on politics as the gov't transistions from boomers to Millennials in gov't positions. Gen-X = Silent Generation II.

[@cyndieperlin3536]

Video is hilarious and is true for many, but my kids are a combination and would definitely get an inspection and read everything before signing. My kids at at the younger end of the Millennial age group and not only can they not touch a home at current market prices, but they would struggle to come up with the huge down payment they’d need as well. I’m praying the current market tapers off, so the younger generation are able to afford a home at all.

[@renee3461]

Yep. I'm a millennial and I only act somewhat like the younger guy because I have no choice. The market has been getting slightly easier for buyers around here, but I know that last year things were selling for 20% above asking with no inspections and no contingencies. I'm using downpayment assistance and my realtor said that some sellers won't even look at my offer since my financing is a bit more complex and requires an inspection. People who act like the boomer in a market like this are going to have a rough time ever getting an offer accepted. Hopefully we'll get back to having reasonable house prices again at some point so that we don't have to do things out of desperation when buying something!

Don't people know boomers were born between the mid 40's to the mid 60's, gen x, mid 60's to mid 80's, and millennials, mid 80's to early 2000's. These years vary based on who you talk to, but not by 20 years.

Haha! A young millennial was trying to buy a house from my Father in law (totes a boomer) and they did actually have an inspection done, however, the inspector was big city and literally picked the house to pieces. Unfortunately for the millennial, we live in an area with very limited housing, the market had just spiked big time, and there was basically a bidding war going on so my FIL said “forget it, I’m not doing all of that, I’ll sell it to the next one.” The millennial was completely distraught and literally came to our shop in tears to tell my FIL they would tear up the inspection and buy the house as is for the same price.

Did everyone just entirely forget that Boomers (Baby Boomers) were generally born between 1945 and 1960 (making most of them well into the 60 to late 70's), and I believe what y'all are calling "Boomers" both here and generally in the comments is actually more accurately Gen X who were born between 1960ish and the mid 80's making most of us in our late 40's to early 60's... seems like everyone forgot Gen X is a thing.
