[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoomers or boomers?

Boomers are seen as selfish, former hippie "I got mine (to hell with you)" types.  They ruined the planet. Hypocirtes who were all for "peace", then flipped as long as they can collect their social security.

Gen X were latchkey kids, fending for themselves, while both their parents worked hard and often - as Gen X will do.

Millenials are going to change the world for the better, I have no problem with them. They are educated and speak out, for the better.

My beef is with the "Greatest" generation - who are oblivious.  They are reaping all the benefits of economy flukes and timing, while not paying it forward, but feeling supremely entitled. They bought a house for nothing ($30k in the hot areas in 1963), but think Gen X is "rich" for buying a house (at today's prices), without any help. Eff that. No one gave Gen X anything, for the most part.

Rich people, with generational wealth, also do not have my sympathy.

Gen X here. 
Are we to believe that the “greatest generation” didn’t work hard? I doubt WW2 was easy for them. Also, $30K in the 1930s and 1940s was a ton of money. [/quote]

It may have been a ton of money back then- but relative to wage, that generation did FAR better than ANY other.  Period.

I have family who lost everything (everything) in WWII - so your choice of discussion is ill aimed.

Greatest Generation is technically 1902-1927 - are you misquoting, PP?

1928-1945 was most of our parents, it was the "Silent Generation" - rightfully so.  FAR fewer SAHMs than the "Greatest" Generation, in my world.

I know what my parents went through,, and my grandparents, and my great grand parents, first hand.

I'm confused by your argument that my discussion is "ill aimed." I'm genuinely sorry your family lost so much, but I don't see how that relates to my statement that the greatest generation worked hard.

Our parents were the silent generation; you are correct. They weren't the ones suffering through the war though. Those were the members of the Greatest generation, who were old enough to serve. [/quote]
