I normally wouldnt do an Xer Ping on this subject, but in a recent previous ping this subject came up and this article perfectly nails it.
Xer Ping
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effect Gen-Reagan/Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

I'm born in 1958. I've been working since I was 15 (workers permit). I have supported my mother and father, and my own family, saved, planned and do not intend to have generation X or Y pay for anything in my retirement. SS will be gone or a fraction of any benefits that it is giving to the "greatest generation" or the gimme generation.
This little tune regarding 'baby boomers' is beginning to sound a little whiny to me. Just my 2 cents!

I went on to college but neither of my children did. I find that they are very late to the organization/discipline/structure part of "life". Just my personal observation.
