Living paycheck to paycheck and hearing my mother tell me how she doesn't like having less than $10k in her account... if she thinks her ashes are ending up anywhere other than the nearest fucking dumpster, she's cooked.
Fun fact: if you donate a boomers body to science, the cremation is free.
Don't spend $800-$1000 on a boomer burning, sentence the to an afterlife of community service!
It's about trusting institutions to fulfil their purpose. It's about trusting society as a whole. It's about leaving your front door unlocked. There are still pockets of high trust left in some areas. If you see unlocked bikes on the driveway or purses left in cars you are in such a pocket. If you see unmanned produce stands you are in such an area.
Those areas used to be everywhere but the center of bughives.
A step above that is even trust in others to tell the truth and be honest.
If you ask if a neighborhood is safe to live in, you can't trust the public answer to be truthful.
If you ask if you'd be targeted for being white when using public transit in some cities, you can't trust the answer you're given openly, and you can't even ask the question openly.
When the society is so failed that you can't even ask honest questions about facts that are clear to everyone, but have to deal with a high likelihood of getting a political (untrue) answer, you're in the levels of low trust that beget the USSR.
The Iron Curtain was a literal wall that people got shot trying to cross, but officially and publicly there was no restrictions on citizens leaving the country, so long as they filed the "appropriate petition" of course.

Every boomer I've ever met locks their doors. The stories they tell about that are all from when they were kids and the doors were left unlocked because the parents knew the kids were playing outside and didn't want them to get locked out.
It's dumb to trust people and society when everyone is causally dishonest. Boomers are dumb and easily impressed by status symbols and diplomas. There is being trusting because you are naive and then there is being trusting because that trust has been earned. The boomers were naive and knew that everybody was just as dishonest as they are and were, but it's not their culture to seek credibility and instead culturally believe it's wrong to expose and embarrass people for bluffing. "He has to get home," "He has to know what he's saying to get on TV ..." It's the same thing with the romance scams. They just want to live in the moment and totally buy into the sales pitch, but deep down they do realise that it's fake. They get really upset if you yuck their yum and point out the obvious to them too. They get upset because you are forcing them to admit what they know deep down too. Otherwise, they wouldn't care about other criticism. They don't care about real credibility they just want to believe in the scam for as long as they can.
I don't know what you're talking about. If you don't leave your car doors unlocked and open, the windows will get smashed by hoodlums looking for an easy score. I don't know why you have be to a contrarian in this thread or what bullshit sense of superiority you get out of it, but it makes you a giant Jodi Arias.

Of course they lock their doors because it's no longer a high trust society. They pissed it away. You can not use current behavior to support your previous claim that past behavior never existed.
Search for longitudinal trust study or something and read up about what it means. But never forget that currently 50% of hard science doesn't replicate and about 80% of social studies so draw your own conclusions from the data. Wouldn't suprise me if some questionnaires literally has the question "Do you lock your front door when at home!*

You're onto something here, actually. Since my freeloading Dad is and always has been such a cheapskate, I'm now considering this. It'll save me some money which is exactly what he'd do. In my mind this is actually the only appropriate thing to do to carry on his legacy of passing the buck.
Should I float the idea next time he comes to stay with me? He's probably going to want to come stay here in October so he can steal most of my kids' halloween candy.
I have never been the estate handler for anyone deceased so I only know so much, but if he hasn't gotten anything arranged on his own then I wouldn't tell him shit. From what I've found, you can decide burial arrangements while you're still alive by putting it into writing, dumping all of the responsibility to whoever you want as long as you do it in the way your state requires and also by putting it into writing with a witness signature. If no arrangements are made then it gets decided by adult children if there is no spouse. (might want to look up how this goes down in your area though)
Considering what you've shared about him already, I wouldn't put any more ideas in his head about how he can make you do a bunch of bullshit from beyond the grave. What's he going to do if you decide to go this route without his input, haunt the Butterfingers in the house?
The reality of the matter is that the "great wealth transfer" is realistically 15-20 years away, so when Millenials are in their 50s/60s, and there is no wealth being transferred but mostly debt and liabilities. On the individual level the 4 times re-mortgaged devaluing concrete-wood box of the Boomer including taxes and an illiquid market, and the Boomers in real term deflationary ponzifolios, not to forget the costs to care for and burry the Boomer contrary to send them to the wood to die to be eaten by wildlife. On the political scale, same thing, all the BoomerX is leaving is debt and liabilites, completely uncovered, irrealistic to ever deflate on top of over the past 50 years legislated entitlements and other polity scams based on assumed future productivity, demand and reproduction that never occured. So what Millenials are actually inheriting is a pile of crap with no demand for and political organization that are unable to act, so a failed state and a failed ponziconomy that cannot be reformed, but has to be demolished one or another way.
This is something that people nowadays don't realize. If you have children and you die with an enormous amount of debt, your children get nothing handed down to them. That gets audited.

Only way to really dodge it is get gold coins long before death, "lose them", and never officially rediscover them. It only works if you keep your fucking mouth shut and don't do anything obvious like run around town buying shit outside of your regular lifestyle.

That assumes the senile old boomer doesn't one day before they die meet a grifter in a bar somewhere who claims to be a "coin expert" who buys out their collection for 50 cents on the dollar, since dear old uncle Boomer Howard never bothered to learn how to use the computer to look up spot prices on kitco. Yes this actually happened to someone I know
Or the other possibility - they ended up buying nothing but silver-clad stuff from scams like the franklin mint and world coin reserve that's all completely worthless.

Anyone else seeing a shit ton of advertisements for "spicy pills" or special chocolate or Blue Chews or Viagra alternatives etc? I would assume that it would marketed for boomers and older people but they have younger ish people making the advertising and influencers promoting it on social media.
What makes it scary is the conspiracy part of my brain thinks that something being put in the food, water, air, soap or god knows what else is fucking up everyone's sex drive and hormones including young people and now pharmaceutical companies are trying to sell a "fix" and profit off the fact that we are completely messed up chemically, mentally and physically.
There are a ton of young people who are on some type(s) of SSRIs or other psychopharmacological pills that kill your libido and also your ability to get an erection.
Also porn addiction does the same thing as mentioned above.
Both of these could be the reason that young people under the age of 40 are seeking out ED meds.
Why is this? I'm racking my brain for all of the grandparents to zoomers/alpha I know personally and only one of them is the stereotypical cookies grandma. It's fucking twisted.
Baby Boomer chimped out on an airplane and got zip-tied and duct taped to a seat for his trouble. Enjoy dying in Federal prison, hope it was worth it, you old White Nigger!
Here's the case info. He got released on recognizance. He is currently charged with two misdemeanors, (second degree assault and disorderly conduct) and his trial is scheduled for October 19, 2026.

Nah here's what you do. During your lifetime you transfer assets to your children, or to a trust. Something so that you are divested from it.
Then you just run up credit assuming you had a good lifelong credit score. Do stuff like renovation's on your kid's houses. Stuff for your grandkids and so on.
Might not work by the time we get old and some Jews close this loophole but this is how you minmax if you're old right now. Setting up a trust only costs like $5k these days and its not something only for rich people.
You can also scam for maximum gibmedats by transferring your assets to your children at least 5 years before you start using medicaid services. They will pay for lots more if you're "poor" on paper for a minimum period of time. The lifetime gift exemption per recipient is something insane like $15,000,000 as of 2026 last I checked. You will need hit this unless you are a legitimate plutocrat.
Yes, all welfare is a scam. There are entire guides on how a semi-affluent person can get the gibs of a poorfag in your retirement. If you're paying estate taxes, it's because you're Bill Gate's adopted tranny boywife or you/your parents are retards who couldn't be arsed to hire a basic bitch lawyer.
