[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964) hold the vast majority of U.S. household wealth, owning over $85 trillion, or roughly half (around 50-51%) of the nation's total assets, significantly more than Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z combined, thanks to favorable economic timing, stock market booms, and real estate appreciation (Google). Not sure where all those poor elderly live who cannot afford $20 for snow shoveling, but they are not in the US. [/quote] BS. You live in a bubble. Lots of retired people don’t own homes and live off SS. They don’t have pensions because they were on the way out during their working years. They don’t have 401ks because they were new during their working years. My mom and her friends live off SS. Luckily they own their homes on they’d be screwed. [/quote] Sorry, but that's statistics and facts for you, not feelings (which is why I put Google in parenthesis for you to check). If your mom and her friends didn't manage to accumulate any wealth in these conditions (which are long gone), then it's on them. No need to stiff teens because of that or imagine to yourself that you're entitled to. I'm an immigrant and in my home country yes, there are poor elders which I know very well about, because they grew up in a war-torn country and nobody had anything. American elders are the richest in the world and the most entitled as well. [/quote]
