    Almost helped an old lady across the street, but then she said "I need about tree fitty" and that's when I realized that this old lady was 10 stories tall and a crustacean from the Paleozoic Era.

      I was under the impression that was not the case. If the estate has no money to pay out, the collectors are gonna come knocking, no?

      They can come knocking all they want, but you are not legally required as an heir to pay that debt. Surely there are a few exceptions like mortgage payments (if u wanna keep the house), but personal debts like credit cards? Not your problem.

        As someone who’s dealing with the estate process right now, I don’t think anyone inherits debt. It’s paid out of the estate and nobody else is responsible for those debts.

        Not really, but there's not much being left for the children of boomers to inherit.

        edit: And in the broader sense, yes. Millennial and younger are inheriting the debt from Bush II's wars. We didn't have any vote on that matter, but we're the ones who are paying that off. 2.8 trillion. After the shitshow of a covid response, I never want to hear someone mention the 3000 dead.

          Is one really real responsible or one's choices of they were not aware of their consequences? (I personally do think so)

          But what if they had wrong information?

          And what if they were purposefully misinformed by a third party for that third party's gain?

          They should have researched things or at least not dismiss anyone who voices any skepticism. I had my free education wasted because no one wanted to take me seriously. At least I get to say I TOLD YOU SO. These people are more then just misinformed. They're cult members who viciously protect their misinformation.

              I hear the opposite, boomer’s kids stand to inherit quite a bit. Anecdotally this seems true; granted I am an only child.

              My father is likely to leave me with a few hundred thousand of his retirement account (he doesn’t know what to spend it on, his union pension is more than enough for his needs) and I’ll inherit both his house as well as my grandmothers house, which is now my uncle’s house. My mom’s house will be sold and split between my half brother and my cousin who my mother raised.

                Inflation is a thing that exists. Saying that someone is bad simply because they want to update the value of their property is dumb. Also, let's say granny wants to downisze. Should she sell her home for a value way below market and then be unable to buy a smaller home for herself?

                Yeah yeah I didn't count inflation but there's no way in fuck that poor old granny is just under the thumb of inflation.

                The point is that everyone wants to fuck everyone, but they are the victim because everyone else wants to fuck them. It's greed from all angles, plain and simple.

                I think everyone should get fucked and the housing bubble burst harder than the 08 implosion, frankly. Who is holding the bag isn't my problem, but the situation now where everyone fucking everyone else over isn't sustainable and is disproportionately screwing over the lower class. It's not my fault that granny was banking on screwing over the millenials to trade up to a beachfront property in the keys

                    Grandma is not the problem. It’s the ~800 billionaires in the US controlling sizable portions of single-family residences through private equity, artificially controlling market prices for maximum profit per sale. Blackstone alone owns 300,000 residences.

                    Fun Fact: There are 16 million vacant homes nationwide. That’s 28 vacant homes for every unhoused person.

                    By remaining invisible, the billionaires avoid having the finger pointed at them. We only point at each other.

                      When you think about these problems, you have to separate your personal experience from what you observe happening to the whole system.

                        Yeah let's blame grondma it's absolutely her fault we had inflation and rising house prices in the last 50 years. She did it all by herself!

                          This inter-generational strife nonsense is the greatest deflection the oligarchs have come up with to make people forget who their real enemies are.
