First world problem for the next generation. Didn't buy down here worrying about resale. Next home will be about 6 and half feet long and 20 some inches wide with a top.

Who will buy houses in the future?


Millennial's - Richest Generation (Poke Here)

A study shows that Millennials will hold five times as much wealth as they have today and the group is anticipated to inherit over $68 trillion from their Baby Boomer parents by the year 2030.

This will represent one of the greatest wealth transfers in the modern times.

People move to Florida for the weather, so as long as it is cold and snow up north, people will be moving to Florida.

Don’t tell that to the government, they will want to grab a big chunk of that wealth transfer.

No worries, just went outside and looked up into the sky. Everything is in place and nothing is falling!

graciegirl: “I have read that 40% of all Americans don’t have $400 bucks in the bank”. I’ve read the same. Yes, there are many successful young folks out there that fall into another category of working hard and making more money than grandpa and grandma combined did at their age. Large cities like N.Y. And Chicago are great places to visit but not for me to live there.

I couldn’t agree more. During my long career in finance/investments/portfolio management, I was often recruited by just about every investment banking firm on Wall Street. I could have easily made over ten times what I earned during my career, but there was no way I was going to sacrifice the quality of life that I enjoyed living in the country and commuting to Hartford. I can happily say that I will never go to NYC again in my lifetime.

Interesting comment about younger generations. We see the same thing in the UK. My parents saved hard for their first house. Moved in with no furniture. I did the same. Sacrificed life for a home. Now I’m ‘old’. (53), I can look to retire young move to TV and enjoy my missed youth. British kids seem to have a different approach. Lavish holidays, nice cars (mine is 14 years old), fine clothes nice restaurants. That is more important than saving $2500 a month on rent and putting it into a mortgage... still they lookto usand our parents and think ....

I have three boys under the age of 31 all are employed, two are college graduates and they are exactly what you describe. Add in they don't even seem to care a bit about marriage. I guess we are the old men who will soon be yelling to stay off our lawns. Have a great day and I hope we both end up in TV first drink is on me. Enjoy!

Interesting subject and only time will tell. I think the key is make yourself happy and let the heirs determine the rest.

They are valued less because they have less amenities and are farther away from the squares

Reports indicate that the current inventory nationally is sufficient to meet the demand for the next 25 years. (of course that ignores negative and positive growth areas). After the baby boomers are gone (meaning us) there will be fewer people in the 55 plus age group

[dewilson58]

Even after the year 2040, there are over 250,000 people retiring EVER MONTH.


Plenty of demand for warm Florida or Arizona.

You might find the baby boomers from all of south Florida moving to TV land, like we did. Really low land elevation will have problems with water intrusion in the coming years. We were at 5 feet above sea level and got tired of mandatory evacuations during hurricane season. We are now around 90 feet above sea level. How long will it be before banks stop loaning money for homes in low lying areas? I think lots of people in south Florida might find TV land their next move. And I agree about the future.

Think of the values in TV with beachfront property lots.

According to a recent poll in NJ, 50% of NJ residents plan on bailing out of NJ in 5 years--these people are mostly under 40--primary reason taxes & COL
