And somehow, the socioeconomic system that you have no power over, is all your fault. But you should suck it up, because your parents did.
IwishIcouldblowmynose
Fun fact: There's a. Quarter Life Crisis version of Life. You start out in debt, and nearly every turn is a trap to cost you more money.
PrecogFrogOnALog
Starting with no money would be an improvement for some considering how much debt a lot have starting out.
Someshithead241
And instead of the banker secretly cheating, they just do it openly and you can't do anything about it
magicrhombus
And instead of collecting money when you pass go, you collect debt.
draxiom
Go directly to jail. Do not collect avocado toast
Strostkovy
Also you have to pay money every turn and you can't not take a turn
clintwestwud
Don’t forget that if you get hurt you’ve got to deal with it yourself or pay THOUSANDS in med bills.

I landed on the square that says “Kill onion bagel industry.”
Problemwoodchuck
Every 10 turns someone yells "Once in a lifetime economic crash!" And flips the board. Somehow there are fewer pieces each time.
aworkoffiction
When you pass go you get your 200 but every time you go around the board the prices go up by 25% and go never increases.
PloppyFenis
Gen X here. 39 before I bought my first house. The struggle transcends generations
Dalael
Well maybe if you didnt buy avocado toasts and put all that sweet toast money in all the industries you killed, we'd still be screwed.

My old man had a framed picture at work that said: “My parents had to work and toil, and I think my children should too!”.

Also, boomers are sitting there with the bank and a fire extinguisher that they won’t share and complain that you’re not helping.
Blubide
I am a boomer and don't give a f*ck what others think. We are all of our time, you can only play the hand you are dealt. Suck it up.
SlowerDwightYouIgnorantSlut
Shut up, pussy. Cowards comment on throwaway accounts.

elvispelviss
You actually start with a lot of dept
noJustNOnoooooo
Also your money is either half the value indicated or shit doubles in cost because of temporary fuel price spike, never to go back down
YoSamiteSam
The car is now the bus and there's a tiny mastrubating crack head.

2020 edition board and prices, 1950 edition money.
xj4low
And you don't get to own any places. Only rent them and you have to pay the big corp every time around the board.
gelos
This aged beautifully
Bobalobadingdong
Seriously. Saved for 10 years & made offers on houses in 2019, only for pandemic to hit & prices go UP 40% in 2 yrs?!
TimeFoDat
For some reason—Grandpa set it on fire before you came into the room & now he's yelling at you for not appreciating the warmth of the fire.
shadowbladezbigniew
There is actually a game millennial monopoly. you don’t buy property. You just have life experiences and social media. It’s fast and fun
greggbert
And you need to go into debt to the richest player just to learn the rules.
JustAFlamingoInDisguise
When you pass go, you pay the game 200.00
ICommentToMakePeopleSmile
And every other square is income tax.
imapencil
Don't forget sales tax and tipping everyone and everything + fees.
junkgoof
Taxes are actually the inverse of the problem. Problem is the programs the US knows make people rich aren't there. Got rich, stayed rich.
G0nz
Is there an explanation chart somewhere for all that boomer/gen x /y /z/ millenial / whatever stuff?
ButtsFartington
Nice try boomer. We keep that information hidden deep inside of this exclusive program called "Google"
Sqeezytzatziki
Don't forget to vote
imgurianitarian
Genriu
Don't forget the banker is a boomer.

As it should be! So many better boardgames....
laylowdown
They write a lot of those that’s for sure. Maybe if people stopped clicking them they would stop?
PloppyFenis
Can confirm

MagicalHamFlaps
don't forget that every time you try to put the board fire out you get called ungrateful and overly emotional
matt692007
"Why are you trying to change things? We set it on fire for your own good. Why can't you appreciate anything I do for you?"
TheWombatStrikesAgain
"How do I even win?" "You're poor, so you don't play to win yourself. You play so 1% of the players can win."
MagicalHamFlaps
you pull yourself up by the boot straps like they did when they inherited a thriving economy, plentiful union jobs and then fucked it all up
pleaseuseotherdoor
I keep getting investment and travel advice and they look at me like I just hit their mom when I tell them I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY!!!!
chumbwambatubthumping
My parents were literally handed a house. I'm told I don't work hard enough or make enough compromises to have a house.
flyingskejaquita
Or told to stay in your lane
LeSethX
"Putting out fires for free is socialist!"
DoctorScoutBobTotoBarkingtonIII
It costs you $200 to pass Go
pleaseuseotherdoor
And then $11.95/month for GO online security and premium pass.
Hismomoness
And/or a “socialist”
ElbowDeepInUserSub
"Can't we make some of these properties more affordable?" .. "No! That's Communism!"
talkingtothepast
Boardwalk or GTFO!!!
chumbwambatubthumping
I convinced my parents to get vaccinated.. Anywho my dad sat there afterwards and said "well we are a communist country now" smh
ElbowDeepInUserSub
Show him some nice pictures of preteen factory workers from the "golden age of capitalism"

As a Gen-Xer: First time?
nihiltres
No, I just keep reincarnating in the late 80s/early 90s for New Game Plus. This time I own a house!

sadurdaynight
Yeah, when I was a little boy in the 80's I decided to vote for reagan inbetr
PucksAndLiquidLuck
As a gen xer, no tf I did not. I was in elementary school when he was president.
sadurdaynight
Yeah, we were more concerned about what new NES games were coming out.
ButtsFartington
You have your head so far up your own asshole you forgot how to do math. Kindly refrain from reproducing and passing on your terrible DNA
wejustdontknow
Almost nobody in gen x would have been old enough to vote for Reagan. I was 7 and 11 when he was elected
Babomonkey
Most of GenX wasn't old enough to vote for Reagan. We still didn't have enough clout to prevent Bush Sr. You can blame us for Clinton.
EverNotRelevant
Millennials control even less of the world's wealth at this point than Gen X did at the same age.
Flowerlady0
wait for the fact that many Millennial's parents are gen X's parents as well and you are the product of a second marriage
finetoroastasimamarshmallow
Gen x started working during a recession, there’s employee shortage now Like nobody ever struggled. Your cancer is always worse than others…
EverNotRelevant
Literally worse by objective measures, so come off your bullshit.
Adualion
Millenials such as myself graduated into the biggest recession since the great depression
Adualion
We are now living through another recession that is even greater than the one we graduated into
ObtuseDoorFrame
Also, in terms of sheer numbers, millennials are the largest generation in US history.
rossimus
And the poorest
Lulabel73
And yet Trump got in.
