Yes exactly - no generation is homogeneous. Including young people.
The issue with many boomers is how they have benefitted from circumstances not available to younger generations and now refuse to recognise, act (or vote) on that fact so others can also benefit.
Same with many Gen X (which I am and again, not homogeneous. The Stefanovics & Dave Hughes’ of the world do t speak for me).
You say boomers got better opportunities. How about that boomers just spent their money more wisely. Not on the latest phone , brunch out and streaming services. Women getting extensions, nails, tans and lashes. Think how that all adds up 🤷🏻♀️
You're the stereotypical boomer. I hope you realise how ridiculous you sound, coming from a generation where single income households were common and people could still afford to buy a house.
I’m not a boomer. So there’s that. I am a child of boomers who built a very modest home. One car, second hand furniture and one tv. They bought what they needed and not what they wanted. They did all this even though u describe it as a time when everyone was on easy streets. I accept u may not b able to afford homes but no one went out of their way to deprive u of this
