I have viewed her videos in the past. She is often loose with the facts.
She is full of drama and click bait in an effort to drive business her way.

In real world stats, how many elderly folks of that generation are still living in their own home the final 4-5 years of their lives?
Wild azz guess it's around 5%.

And it's not like they're all going to die this year.

Especially since us boomers cover an 18 year timespan. I plan on being in my own home 20+ years from now. (63 y/o currently)

Really? That's what you got from that video? She is talking about dynamics in the early 2030s. Will ALL of the boomers be gone by then? If I live to 2035, I will be turning 71 years old. I may not make it, but I'm guessing lots of my boomer brethren will.

Please, tell me again how it was the boomers in Congress voted to raid the SS overage in 1968!

Math is not your strong suit, is it?

I am 68 and my wife is 72. We bought our current house in 2016 and stepped down from 5000 sf to about 2400 sf. We are planning on this being the last house we own.

Well, since Gen Z can't afford a pot to piss in, I'm guessing a lot of these homes will be gifted to the Gen Z children/grandchildren of boomers.

I think there are all kinds of young family members that will inherit those houses and they never hit the market, because young people can't afford home these days.

Pisses me off the worthless POS will get yet another windfall that they haven't earned. We worked our asses off 50-60 hours a week with 10 minute breaks, and these azzhats are going to get our shit for pennies on the dollar working from home 20 hours a week in their pajamas.......

Two scenarios here, assuming a housing glut.
1. The old, shitty homes will be bulldozed and the previous owners move to to better ones, priced lower than the glut.
2. Same "move up" situation, but instead of being bulldozed, the old shitty homes will be crammed full of illegals.

You have an amazing talent for coimpletely ignoring any facts that don't support your position, so once is all you get.

Would somebody care to explain to me how it was Boomers who voted to raid the SS fund in 1968 when the oldest Boomer at that time would have been only 22 years old?

Back then, Boomers could vote at 12.
