Maybe this should be a daily reminder

Pretty much every generation wass looked at as **** ups when they were young, except maybe the Greatest Generation because they really didn't get a chance to be **** ups.

true but they tended to be dumb as dirt and unable to think independently

But in my case for instance, when I left the farm and joined the Navy, my net worth was less than $50. EVERYTHING my wife and I have, we worked for!! Sure would be nice if others did the same.

lol

yeah, you earned it

That is true to an extent, depending on numerous current employment factors and Zoomers skills/experience, but as a general assertion regarding all Zoomers, no.

Also, making the general assertion that Boomers are to blame for all the economic and employment challenges facing Zoomers is false. It’s also weak and pathetic.

The majority of Americans, from every generation, have worked their tails off earning the comforts and security they enjoy.

Congratulations on being an example of exactly what I am talking about.

The school costs more, the house costs more, the healthcare costs more, and the jobs pay less.

You think these economic conditions just changed on their own? Who was in charge while it happened? The ultimate task of any generation is to leave a better life for the next generation, and boomers are the first in a long time to objectively fail at this task.

Why? Because I wasn’t given anything? Because I’ve worked my ass off for everything I have?

Or is it because I don’t lay blame at the feet of those who had absolutely nothing to do with the challenges I faced making my way through adulthood?

"You are entitled to nothing," the old white man screamed, while cashing his social security check.

Dumb...., well you know. He worked his entire life paying taxes into Social Security to earn those benefits.....IQ much....

No, because you don’t understand that a young person today who works just as hard as you did, on average, ENDS UP WITH LESS THAN YOU DID

Go ahead and wallow in your victimhood while many of your contemporaries pass you by on their way to success.

:lamo weak attacks against my personal situation. I make more than you do, friend. Keep flailing and ignoring what the numbers say. It's highly entertaining.

I haven’t attacked your “personal situation”. I have no idea, and no interest in knowing. Interesting though, that you purport to know my “personal situation”.

Let’s be clear; you are the one whining about your, and your fellow Zoomers, financial outlook. Repeatedly claiming that your sad generation won’t be as financially secure as my generation because the big bad Boomers stole all the wealth and left you with nothing.

I have two grown sons (also Zoomers) who also work very hard and are doing well for themselves and their families. I cannot imagine either of them ever whining as you have done here.
