I am a Boomer, and I try always to be humble, nice, and honest with younger generations.

In a few years I'm gonna need someone to change my diapers.

You joke, but I honestly wonder - how much Boomer dysfunction is because they believe that they're going to live forever?

I honestly think a lot. Most Boomers have an inflated self-esteem and see them as the best generation. A lot of the media is also controlled by the boomers, note how in pop culture very few boomers are portrayed negatively yeah you have the boomer memes but mainstream, there's very few boomer hate and I think that's because they control them and want to keep the mindset that boomers are awesome.

Exactly.

Very few of my generation think this way.

80 is the new 20!

I'm still deciding what I want to be when I grow up!

The joke is on us.

Do you think a generation who can't cook or start at the bottom is going to be willing to deal with old person baby shit?

That is why we need illegal immigration. To do the jobs Americans can't or won't do.

Take your average boomer and make them a kid in this era and they'd be used as fucked as a millennial. There isn't anything special about boomers, they were little born into wealth and affluence.

As a boomer, I agree this is completely true. Whenever a boomer tells you how hard their lives were...throw a drink in their face. It's such bullshit. Sure we didn't have cell phones, but by every other measure, we were handed the sweetest deal by our hardworking WW2 parents. We proceeded to blow that sweetness, being the lazyest drug-taking hippy fucks in the history of the human race. Then we boobytrapped the entire US economy to make you millenials/xers into our personal slaves.

We were given low cost, affordable housing. Intentionally kept low cost so we could buy. We proceeded to inflate those housing costs insanely, so that we could have massive capital gains profits to blow on our retirement, all paid for by you poor suckers who have to spend the next 30 years slaving to pay the huge payments. To us!

We were given low cost, affordable high quality colleges. Intentionally kept low cost and high quality so we as middle class people could get an education with ZERO DEBT if we worked a few part time jobs. We have loaded those universities with masses of rent-seeking liberal administrators, and jacked the salaries of management 3X faster than inflation. So you kids will spend you whole lives in debt to pay for our pension plans.

Every single measure the WW2 generation used to make the Amerian middle class affordable for the average citizen, we baby boomers have utterly corrupted to feed our desire to retire and go on fancy eco-cruises.

While our granddaughters -- literally -- are forced to turn tricks on SeekingArrangments to pay their college loans back.

The depth of depravity and immorality of the baby boomer generation will be written about in history books for a thousand years. Ok, well maybe 50 years. Let's not overdo it. but it's bad enough.

As the son of borderline retarded boomers, this post strikes a nerve.

Sometimes I think the generation is so narcissistic overall that they've never looked at any sort of statistics or charts which explain how dire the situation for us is.

You need to make 200k as a 30 year old to be in the top 1% of earners for your age. Factoring in saving for a six figure downpayment on a home and paying off student loans, this income gives you a fairly middle class life in NY/SF/LA metro areas where a lot of these jobs are.

If you want to crack an upper middle class existence in these cities you really need a husband and wife earning top dollar to make it.

I find it hilarious when my parents make remarks to me about not being at their level with home purchasing and savings.

Hopefully we get a massive correction in the stocks/real estate but the upper middle class millennials will most likely inherit their money, take huge risks in crypto/self employment, or have two ultrasuccessful corporate earners.

I always wonder what's going to happen to the McMansions that the Boomers will pass on to Millenials/Gen Xers that don't want them. I imagine the stock market might be a bit of a bubble as well, propped up by the retirement accounts of Boomers.
