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. It’s 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.

Ain’t that some philosophising?

Am I missing something? Min wages are at an all time low per cost of living.

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

Thanks.

This isn't a matter of saving ("bootstraps!" )

This is about how later generations are getting fucked by the Got Mine brigade.
