(44,738 posts)1. We Baby Boomers
Have been saving money for about 60 years. The youngins will get there eventually. We Baby Boomers are also number one (amongst the groups listed) in deaths. Its kinda like a regularly scheduled thing. In about 2050 millennials will be blamed for having anll the money and all the ills of the country. Greedy bastards. And time goes on.
Aint that some philosophising?

Prior generations could buy a house and gain some equity on one income. Not anymore
Thanks.
