“. The boomers, of which I am one, wrecked everything. I don’t know what my generation was called (1930-1945) but I can tell you how boomers were spoiled by my generation. During the Depression and WWII (’29-’45) we had very little food, many things were rationed and then many things were not available due to the war. Many of my generation vowed that because we were denied so much during that time that we would NEVER let our kids go without whatever they wanted...hence spoiling them. I am 87.
You are ‘Silent Generation’ 1925-1945.
Even though thousands of items became scarce during the war,
only those most critical to the war effort were rationed. Key
goods such as sugar, tires, gasoline, meat, coffee, butter, canned
goods and shoes came under rationing regulations. Some important
items escaped rationing, including fresh fruit and vegetables.
