That's a lie.
Boomers knew how to start small, save money, and didn't think they were entitled to start life in their 20's with the level of living their parents attained after decades of work.
Kids these days look at what people have in their 60's and think they are owed it, too, not considering where their parents started from.
I disagree. I do not think it is a lie that OFTEN boomers were riding a wave of home ownership. Nobody can speak for all boomers or any group for that matter. I know of boomers (older, granted) that took an average job, bought a house on one income and quietly got passively rich as their home increased in value over the years. What you say is also true, but not in all cases.
I agree with you. They don’t seem to understand that they need to be patient. Each generation had bad things happen to them. They had to survive the bad times and make the best of the good times.
These kids today think there should only be good times, ignore the bad times others had to suffer, and just complain about where ever they find themselves. Are things right now difficult for them? Yes. Are they being taken advantage and sold a bill of goods? Yes. Will things stay this way forever? No. Things could get better or they could get much worse for everyone.
These kids today have no foundation, we boomers did and still do — God. That is the biggest difference I see today.
