[quote=Anonymous]Gen Xer here. I don't hate the Boomers. But I do think that with the invariable cuts to come, they are going to need to share the pain. You can't just raise the retirement age, Medicare age, etc for younger generations. Boomers will need to suck it up with the rest of us. Younger Boomers did lose a lot in the downturn, and I'm sure some of their retirements are delayed as a result. But the costs are higher for GenX and Y now than when the Boomers were younger - housing, college, gas, childcare, not to mention the coming costs for caring for elderly Boomer parents. The Boomers need to have some empathy for this - the average middle class X or Y-er can't save or build wealth the same way they did. We may never be able to.[/quote]
