[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? How about the fact that this is the generation that made money off the younger generations? Housing is 3xs what they paid. College tuition is ridiculous.

But they'll have a nice retirement. All that traveling and dining out...[/quote]

College tuition is so expensive because somewhere along the way between the early 90s & early 2000s, millenials convinced themselves that every colleg student needs access to giant, state of the art rock climbing walls in order to be properly educated.

THAT is why college is so expensive. Baby boomers have very little to do with that.

Plus, aren't most baby boomers in their mid to late 70s by now, not early 60s?

If your mom is in her 60s then she was a teen/college student during the 70s. That was a very selfish and me me me time, similar to our fragile millennials.  It is no wonder why she is selfish.[/quote]

Explain to me exactly how millennials decisions effected education policy while they were merely school children and teenagers. Millennials were not voting or in the workplace in any meaningful way or number during the 90s or early 2000s. Those flashy educational expenses were status symbols for boomer parents. Sure, children may want the world if you offer it to them, but it's ultimately adults' job to establish limits. If you really think children were having this much influence--where the hell were the adults that were letting them! The worst you can accuse millennials of is now coming to expect what they've known all along, which, while unflattering, we all do to some extent.
