NP. My parents aren’t Boomers but I legitimately don’t see how people don’t understand why Millrennials/Gen Z/Gen Alpha feel enraged that no matter how hard they work they will never have the ability to build wealth the way previous generations did. [/quote]

I mean, neither can I and I'm 52. My dad retired from a fed gig after 20 years and got a pension equal to 75% of his last years salary, along with free healthcare for life. He unfortunately died 8 years later but my mom gets his pension until her death which isn't even on the horizon. She's getting somethin like 95K a year, every year, until she dies just off that. Another 4 grand a month in SS, house is paid, taxes are senior exempted, etc etc etc

Both my wife and I work full time  (white collar professionals) and we will never have anything close to that.

Life aint fair. Sometimes timing matters.[/quote]

Most people don't have pensions. Just career military and government workers. [/quote]

Right, that's my point. In my grandfather's era everyone had a pension and wages were proportionately higher.  My dad was born in '41 and most of his peers had pensions/retirement too.

My wife and I (both masters educated professionals) live frugally, invest heavily, sent kids to state schools, etc and will never get to  point where our investments generate $15,000 a month in income.

It just the way life works. The later you get to the party the crappier the food selection gets.[/quote]

Yeah but our current policies are like the crappy food is left but there’s still some nice platters in the back of the fridge and we’re packaging them in to go boxes for the people who arrived first. And those same people are telling the latecomers they should have planned better while walking out the door with their to go bags. It’s just obnoxious at a certain point.[/quote]

What a sad tale of woe. Aren't there enough voters to outnumber the evil boomers yet? Or maybe it's just you and your inability to compete and earn enough to pay for the lifestyle you think you deserve. [/quote]
