There were quite a few massive strikes and quite bad recessions during the time that BOOMERS were children which affected them too!
The "good times" were on and off all though the '50s and most of the '60s and '70s. It was NOT an unchanging, constant "GOOD TIMES"/PROSPERITY FOR ALL era! And anyone who claims that is was, is bereft of any factual historical knowledge!

Today, one can barely save $1 w/o the greedy hand of govt being first in line. That’s not even taking in the ‘living above ones means’ life-style either
