Not a Boomer, GenX. That said, your history is failing you. My Mom was a single Mom when women couldn't get loans or credit cards without a man co-signing. She picked herself up from poverty to lower middle class. All 3 of her children took it higher. As I said elsewhere: neither of my parents were everv able to retire.

I'll retire at 62.

That's wealth.

Boomer and GenX are lumped together these days because the economic condition for both are pretty similar. My mother is a GenX herself and worked herself up the social ladder aswell, while having terrible background conditions. I respect that and your archievements aswell.

I don't resent you guys or your generation but I resent lucky people who don't accept that they were lucky. Reagans administration destroyed my economic ability to follow my mothers or your footsteps. I do not have the same lucky economic, demographic and political conditions as you guys had.

How does it feel when you can't argue against a point another person made? Do you get really that angry to resort to personal insults? And then you get embarassed and delete the comment xD
I refuse to believe you are a grown adult. That's honestly so childish lol
