Your group had it harder than us but also easier. You had full company paid healthcare plans and generous retirement packages that enabled you to retire in your late 50’s or early 60’s.
Many of you have been on retirement longer than what you worked.
Many of you had jobs for life and never had to worry about offshoring or being replaced by Baboo from India
Young kids today will have it the hardest. Job uncertainty, high taxes and super intrusive govt. And loss of freedoms
