My father to understand that the value of my dollar is not the same as his was when he was my age.
He already knows because he can rant about it, but isn't empathetic towards you. Kinda sucks.
" I owned a home when I was your age"
Yeah, the other day, he told me, "By the time I was 30 (I'm 36), I was married, owned a house, and had 2 kids, just to give you an example." I wanted to retort, "Yeah, and you later wound up divorced and estranged from those children," but I thought better than to reach for his throat.
This is why I hate seeing my great grandfather. Every conversation with him starts with
"By the time I was your age I had prevented the cold war from going hot, been married for 6 years, had 3 kids, paid off my house, had a well respected job in engineering, and paid cash for two Cadillacs. What's your excuse for renting an apartment in the ghetto and buying used Japanese cars that fall apart every 3 years".
