Times have certainly changed and some of their advice — especially the money-related kind — just doesn't apply anymore. ?????♀? On that note, I'm asking the BuzzFeed Community: What financial advice do boomers love to give yet doesn't make any sense in 2022?

Or not to invest your any of your money until you're 100% debt-free.

Better yet, maybe you've heard boomers advise to not buy a house until you're "ready to settle down."
