- Boomers cannot imagine living a simpler life even in their twilight years, always wanting more space.
- Survey data shows 49% of Boomer retirees didn't downsize and 30% moved into larger homes despite their age.
- Tim compares Boomers refusing to leave houses to figures like Dianne Feinstein dying in office—a pattern of refusing to relinquish control.
- Boomers on planes in economy plus are judgmental and harass flight attendants, traveling to judge their children.
- Boomers' favorite pastime is telling you what their house is worth now, bragging about the appreciation to younger people in debt.
