Do white boomers just not understand how inter-generational wealth works? They do "fuck you - got mine" to their own kids.
The only time I've seen this actually work is when the "rent" is set aside as savings. Especially for kids who are bad with money.
Seen it actually help a few friends who paid $500/month to their parents then got their 4 years rent paid back all at once when they moved out. It did help them with getting their own place and prevented them from spending that money on drugs, booze, and other things that you tend to spend money on when you're 18-25
No they don't. They don't appreciate the way that most of the world still works and most of the West worked even within the last 100 years, where inter-general families lived together and all contributed to support each other.

I assume this just means making everyone else in their life as miserable as possible

My brother-in-law (who is Gen X) wanted to charge my nephew (his stepson) rent when my nephew graduated high school. My nephew's grandfather told my BIL "Nephew is whose name is on the house in the will. Yours is not." Also had to remind him his kids were probably taking up more resources since they were under 16 and not working.
Of course my BIL got married to my sister, had them move out to a farm, and got his name on her will instead of her other relatives, like her son. I didn't go to their wedding for other reasons, but the brainworms run deep among Mayonnaise-Americans.
and got his name on her will instead of her other relatives, like her son.
Some people are beyond shitty, I hope your sister finds someone better
[x] Doubt because my sister has gotten more reactionary as she's gotten older.
I blew up on her one day when she was calling George Floyd a criminal and shouldn't have flags flown at half-staff in his honor. Honestly not sure if I'll want to maintain a relationship with her when our mom passes away (whenever that may be).
