(I don't mean this as an insult by the way; I understand that this doesn't included everyone, and I have no doubt that many people who came of age during that time lived a hard life. But as an entire generation, they walked into a time where the heavy lifting had already been done for them. They simply didn't understand the efforts that had been made by their parents and grandparents to endure the depression and the world wars, and to bring this country to where it was when they grew up.)
I don’t care about your explanation..
I worked my ass off to be able to retire early...
6 or 7 days a week, 20 or 12 hours a day, for DECADES...
What you say is an insult, and I resent you...
