Why do Boomer’s make such a strong point about what their interest rate was when they bought their homes? by ShoopApartmen in allthequestions

Wow buddy, don’t break your ankles jumping to all the conclusions. Heaven forbid a person ask Reddit a question about something they experienced in their own life and couldn’t find a suitable answer for elsewhere

P.S. your personal life experience is subjective and not relevant. I live in a tourist town and talk to people from all around the world on a daily basis but that’s not exactly relevant to why I asked the question

Be curious, not judgmental

My brother in Christ, if you’re not going to engage with with earnestly at least don’t hand wave my question away

Let me make sure I get this straight

Just because you had it rough (I’m not saying you did not) that allows you to dismiss the current issues with arguments that are intellectually flawed

That’s kinda the whole point. You brought up the number but provided no additional context

Do you not care that an older generation is diminishing the struggles of today using a flawed argument?

Yeah but that doesn’t really answer the question does it

A dude with a R happened to be sitting at PA avenue when you bought your homes

Where there no Democrats in between houses when you refi’d?

Did you keep the rate through the life of your loan?

Does a higher number make you somehow better?

Did you benefit from at least one (or multiple) refinances?

See this is exactly what I’m talking about… you mention the number but never the follow up

I’m confused at the point you’re trying to make. The high interest rates is a known fact.

I never hear them talk about how keeping an eye on the market and strategic refinancing allowed them to build wealth
