Born in ’89 – Seen Success, but 2020–2025 Has Been a Wild Ride

Born in ’89 – Seen Success, but 2020–2025 Has Been a Wild Ride

Born in 1989, I’ve seen and felt success. But damn… 2020 to 2025 has been an absolute disaster—and I know I’m not the only Millennial who feels this way.

Everything I’ve worked for or believed in seems to have hit a wall. Meanwhile, the polar opposite seems true for others. Gen Z is blowing up through social media, Gen Y folks happened to land in the right place at the right time, and Older generations cashing in on investments made back when the economy wasn’t forcing us to turn quarters into $5.

It feels like the world flipped upside down. I know a lot of Millennials feel the same way—like we were promised something that never quite showed up.

Call me crazy, but I see the POTUS tariffs as a massive wake-up call—especially for people in government jobs, teachers, or even “successful” entrepreneurial types who’ve climbed their way up (and some who scammed their way there).

We’re about to see a commercial real estate explosion as countries hit by tariffs pull back. Meanwhile, housing and rent prices might finally normalize. That shift is going to open the door to companies that desperately need U.S.-based employees, which could spark a massive economic boom in general labor.

Companies like Toyota and Nike are going to have to set up shop here—think sweatshops, yeah—but with higher wages because immigration is being moderated and there’s now high demand for hands-on labor. Trades and professional fields like construction are going to thrive, especially because many of the small businesses Millennials have been building employees through skill and through trial and error. These entrepreneurs will start to see triple or quadruple in selling services like AC repair, Plumbing, Electrical in value. Immigrants have been seizing entry construction while Gen Z have been opting out. What a time to be alive.

And if you’re someone reading this and disagreeing with every word, ask yourself honestly:

Were you ever really qualified to be making the money you were making?

The car repo crash is coming. The used car market is about to surge and might finally destroy the inflated new car market. I, for one, can’t wait to see it all reset. A Toyota Tundra should be $35,000 new fully loaded and not $85,000 especially coming from a Chinese company. People say Potus doesnt want to tax the rich but is this not the best way to tax the rich.

Drain the swamp, baby.

God bless, stay strong, this is New America—HooRah!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
