Meh, just make the show funny. The timeline has been wrong for decades.
I saw them graduate high school in the 70s and then have have Lisa in the 80s, and homer was a grunge star in the 90s. We don’t need a strict timeline.
Not only that, but they’ve explicitly changed their ages/backstories at least twice already

Comon now, let’s be realistic lol
The show was soft-rebooted many years ago. Anyone still watching doesn’t care.
Is anyone still watching? like… who?
I mean, it‘d be a little weird if they were still born in the 60s, had kids in their teens/20s, and those kids were still kids in 2025. I don‘t really know what anybody complaining is expecting.
There’s an episode where they pretend the Simpsons are a real family and do an “interview” of them since they gained fame. In that episode, Homer says something like “people think that I use growth hormones to keep the kids young, but how am I supposed to fit all three pills in their coffee?” At the time, I believe this was supposed to (jokingly) explain their everlasting youth.
(I tried to find this clip on YouTube but can’t remember the details well enough to find it)
A wizard did it.
But also it’s a cartoon sitcom, no one cares if people age correctly. Hell people wouldn’t care about aging on regular sitcoms if we could figure out how to stop aging. It would be ideal if the kids from Stranger Things weren’t in their thirties but it is what it is.
Plus it’s funny that those who grew up as Barts and Lisas are now Homers and Marges.

Last I knew they were still single income.
Homer was forced to go to college and take relevant courses, but not graduate AFAIK. Pretty sure he only passed those courses by cheating even.
I’ve seen several episodes about how he got the job, but the method that sticks in my mind is groveling.

Plus Burns, while stingy, will keep on even his greatest liabilities.
somehow it’s dondelinger’s fault
Who cares. The show has been dead for years.
