I am a boomer. I am not a trust fund baby. I went to work at 13 to help buy necessities for my household. I worked my way through college and helped my husband get his college degree.

I did not have health insurance during this time, and arranged payments whenever my family needed dental care or hospitalization.

I have never had a student loan, or been on welfare. I saved money to send my children to college, and for my retirement.

I also helped my parents pay their bills. I retired 5 years ago to take care of my elderly father who would otherwise have to be in a nursing home.

I do not appreciate comments which lump me in with trust fund babies.

Hey Boomer...Do you realize that you started every sentence with..."I". LOL..just kidding.

Maybe you didn't follow with the "crowd" and I'm sure there were a few of you but your generation will not have a very good name when the history books are written...unless of course we become a full blown Communist nation.

You, my dear, are a minority. :)

Looking back on what I said, I realize that it may seem I was talking about the entire generation. That wasn't was meant; merely most of it.

How does it make you feel to see most of your generation act like spoiled brats?
