My parents in their 30s This would make a lovely second home for our family to winter in. Hopefully the garage can fit both our cars, snowmobile and ski equipment.
Me in my 30s I’ll never financially recover from this purchase.

It’s the fault of the parents’ generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.
If you went back before 2016 when politics were less culty and asked boomer what they thought about Preidents. They all would have said Reagan was the best. He is Neo-Lib Jesus, bringing the teachings of trickle down economics to the world. They had decades to move away from Neo-Liberalism.
My FIL was a life long republican (he was a standard conservative engineer type), his wife a democrat social worker, but the post 9/11 Iraq invasion flipped him to democrat and he’s stayed that was even now in his 80s.
My dad was a pretty liberal guy, got tear gassed protesting Vietnam. Taught us to distrust the police and most other authority. My mom was the democrat too but less extreme and ran school boards against republicans who wanted to defund everything.
All four voted for Reagan at least once.
Just throwing it out there that only a tiny fraction of GenXers were old enough vote in the 1980 or even the 1984 elections. I am in my 30s and only one of my parents was old enough (and definitely did not vote for Reagan, I have seen their Mondale button), the other first voted for President in 1988.
Also remember that only a tiny fraction of humanity lives in the USA
We are talking about U.S. President Ronald Reagan, so that hardly seems relevant.
I’m just expanding on your point in replying to @grue
You limit the culpability of the “parents’ generation” in electing Reagan, I limit it further. The “parents’ generation” is bigger than one jurisdiction.
Generations are limited to countries or handfuls of countries. Cohorts are created by shared experiences and those experiences are rarely global. For instance in Russia the Gen X equivalent is called “the last Soviet children” and as you can imagine their experiences aren’t exactly the same as those who make up Gen X.
I’m a Millennial, but my parents are Boomers. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
GenXers in their 30’s were not buying secondary ski houses, we were getting buttfucked by recession
Then who exactly is this meme about?
Guessing boomers and millennials. I know plenty of millenials with boomer parents. And a lot of miilenials are still in their 30’s (and fucked)
Did… Did you not read my original comment?
I think you’re inferring a tone that is not there. Demmed textual interface
No tone, just wondering why you reiterated the part about millennials in their 30s back to me.
Electing… meh. But not killing and eating him and his friends when he showed his true face? I’ll never forget!
So it’s your fault for Trump?
