[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thet screwed their children by taking away pensions and making it impossible to have a living wage. They are horrible people. My father makes 6 figures in retirement--way more than I have in my entire life as a working professional and my parents act like they are poor when my dh and I are working to scrape by. We don't buy anything extra aside from groceries and rent.  But they seem to really be suffering as home owners their gated community and new cars.[/quote]

Yup. My parents are good people who earned what they have...but my husband and I will never be able to retire at 60 with a six figure income of pension, SS, and investments. We invest what we can, but without the pension and with the likelihood of SS decreasing, we're never going to make up for the other two "legs of the stool."

So I'm not all that sympathetic. [/quote]

+1.

I know alot of that generation worked hard for what they have, and I would never say they don't deserve it. However, my DH and I work hard too and yet we will NEVER be able to live out lives in the same comfortable situation that our parents do. Why don't some of the more cranky Baby Boomers recognize this. This is not whining on our parts, its a fact and it objectively sucks![/quote]
