[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also would like to add- I am sick of social media parodies of Boomers. Technologically stupid, polyester wearing, judgemental  Fox News watchers, obsessed with dieting, confused by pronouns, living fat off the hog  while millennials can't afford a house. It's entirely wrong.  We are none of those things. None. We are the ones to bring Technology into your lives and work, not the other way around, we weren't buying McMansions before our first kid was born, or really after. Our first mortgage rate was 18%. The first time I refinanced  to a rate even close to what millennials are used to was after my kids were in college. We are not Fox Entertainment synchophants- we are out there fighting for the THINGS WE FOUGHT FOR IN OUR TEENS, we already know dieting is crap, and many in my generation were in the closet during the 70s, and all came out so you can do it now.  We are, as a whole,  less religious,  not more,  and very socially minded. Your job promotes you much faster than our ever did, and you have far more opportunities than we did. We were also the bank of Mom and Dad for most of you for quite a long time.

Yet, we are sent up daily in insurance advertisements,  instagram parodies,  and stupid articles about how we robbed this generation of their house. All untrue. [/quote]
