Young Aussie Calls Out Major Housing Myth Spread By Baby Boomers

Young Aussie calls out major housing myth spread by some baby boomers

A young influencer is challenging baby boomers who suggest ‘lazy young people sipping lattes’ could buy a house like they did 40 years ago.

Jack Toohey has made A video breaking down the differences between buying a home in 1983 and 2023.

Baby boomers are often fond of reminding the young how they paid 18 per cent interest rates in the 1980s, but they fail to mention that typical house price compared with average incomes were significantly cheaper when they bought four decades ago.

Toohey has demolished their misleading claims and misinformation with facts and figures comparing real estate values and earnings.
