but she deserves a place to live for retirement after a lifetime career
how so is she deserving ?
she had every opportunity to buy herself a modest 2 bedroom flat in Sydney 30-40 years ago and have been mortgage free when she retired and chose not to. Near impossible to buy a modest 2 bedroom flat in Sydney now and not have to use your Suoer at age 67 to pay it off.
Fuck me, she can move anywhere in Australia or even elsewhere in another country and chooses one of the most expensive cities on the planet ?
not counting intra city moves, I’ve moved 6 times (states and countries) in 20 years, the process is mildly annoying at worst.
Missing out on superannuation due to taking on domestic duties with kids, succumbing to financial coercion by male partners who prioritise their careers over child rearing, being aged out of the workforce. Blokes who grew up with single mothers know all about this.
I can totally understand the frustration at the boomer generation. But there is an underlying issue at play here which is unfair. There’s an assumption that older people should have forseen the future and made the right choices about housing. I was born in 1990, and I didn’t even see this housing crisis coming when I was in my mid 20s. Lots of people are being blamed for not making the right choices before the gate closed. The fact is that gate shouldn’t be closing. We shouldn’t have to live our lives focused on accumulating wealth just to be OK.

Everyone is deserving. By default. Its the default. People are people. People are not fucking money pinatas.
Bud you have no idea what her life was like.
Most boomers affected by this shit are women. Guess why
Go on

My mum got left off her family inheritance because she was a woman.
