Australian Baby Boomer hoarding all the wealth

[expat]

You've not been here long have you?

Too long. Too long.

Toffs? Gingers?

You called?

I actually got a PR visa granted just under 3 years ago with the intention of working summer in the UK and summer in Oz. Their economy though is catching the tail end of the 2008 FC though, which survived back then on the asian commodity demand which has since nose-dived.

The appreciation of the Ozzie $ against a bucket of other world currencies isn't helping given the requirement to import most of their requirements and the impact is being felt most by the working age demographic. No surprise then that those who don't need to work aren't feeling the pinch too much...as long as the car doesn't need replacing (most come from Japan) and the mortgage is paid off.....

I'm bored of it too - lets just call it a day on the whole boomer thing [emoji106]🏽

What's next on your list? Toffs? Gingers?

It is not any one thread, it is the sustained campaign of mud-slinging that I object to; the knee-jerk whinging; the non-sequiturs; the mass characterisations.

As a point of fact, you started a thread earlier today on US boomers having it tough and that's a perfectly reasonable thing to post (I agree).

I post a threat concerning Australian boomers having it good and you find it an outrage for such a thread.

Mods, how fast can I rush through a sockie? This guy needs words that can only come from someone who doesn't mind being banned.

The same thing is obviously happening in most Western countries, and it will increasingly influence the outcome of future elections.

We can get a radical left wing government like Greece, that works out well for everyone.

Who gives a feck about Australian baby boomers??
