Yeah, you guys had it rough.
I’m not saying everything was easy nor am I blaming the Boomers for having been born when they were. I don’t feel any bitterness towards them - my older brother and sisters are boomers.
I just say they got a very good deal in terms of college tuition, the stock market, house prices and advancing up the corporate ladder. I stand by that. They did get a good deal as compared to other generations. That’s not their “fault”. There’s no bad guy here. They just had some fortunate timing.
Notice how you generally don’t hear Gen Xers constantly whining about the fact that conditions weren’t as good for us? The Millenials sure do like to whine - AND furthermore want to blame Boomers for....being born? existing? things being better in their formative years?
it strikes me as envy and to use a current phrase, “butt hurt”.
For how many years were your life’s goals set back by JFK’s death or by the Cuban missile crisis? Suck it up, Billy Joel.
