[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They retired early. [b]By 45-55, most boomers could retire especially if they had a pension.[/b] There were certain city jobs like police officers where if you work 20 years, you get a pension for the rest of your life. You would still be young enough to vacation, pay off a house, and afford your kids’ college tuition.

Now the tuition is the cost of a house and pensions don’t exist.  The  concept of working for the same company for 20 years is something that died with boomers and maybe a few older Gen X. Such a concept is foreign and completely alien to millenials.

[/quote] :lol: You're joking, right? I don't know anyone who retired at that age.  But go on, fantasize about this mythical generation that had it soooo good instead of acknowledging that different people had different experiences.

By chance, are your parents jerks? Sometimes I find that people resent their boomer parents and apply that resentment to everyone that age.  But, regardless, how about doing some actual research before making absurd statements about "most boomers"?[/quote]

I only know older people who did that.   People born in the 30s worked at some good places. [/quote]
