Would the X-ers prefer that Mom and Dad move in with them?

Can't you just see? "Well, darlin', we've spent our whole lives raising you, paying for your college, giving you every conceivable kind of lessons and trinkets, let you move in when your dot-com went bust (and you didn't listen to us to put your money somewhere safe), but now you're going to have to choose. You can either have Mom&Dad move in, and save your inheritence. Or, you say "no" and all of that money will go to nursing homes, elder day care, other necessities."

Yeah, let's just see what generation is looking for Boomers to have all of this stuff subsidized.

This author is so narcisstic it should be labelled "humor".

What I've observed of the boomer generation is they bought all those trinkets so they didn't have to spend as much time with their children.

They let the schools go to hell, they ignored the immigrant problem (and still are), the boomer CEO's are offshoring as fast as they can, they're voting themselves entitlements at the Xer's expense. As for a lesson in saving money who gave us the social security/medicare burden?

Fact is most boomers were absent while their children were growing up, ever hear of the "latch-key" generation, that would be the X'ers).

Gen X is the up and coming generation, we have a lot of cleaning up to do when our parents are done partying at our expense. Just be ready to be kicked out of the house because we view the boomers as the loser generation, that's what they called us, hence the name Gen X.

I'm a Gen-Xer, and the amount of smug egotistical self-righteousness and generational hatred posted by most of the other Gen-Xers in this thread is making me embarrassed to be one.
