I'm not a union guy for the record. They have been spoiled thru the yrs, way spoiled. And that means alot of money has been saved up.

The boomers paid their dues so the offspring have it better. Had a beautiful home built for me in 1980. Mortgage rates blasting into the ozone. Made a few payments at 21%, good herring fishery years then . . . mortgage gone in 6 years. Those were the days that you could work hard and get ahead of the game. Young folks now have no game . . . no future, no work ethic, no dreams. No piece of the pie . . . . ever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's a good way to assess things. First of all.... how many are getting inheritances ? And when ? It's kind of a top down measure and I wonder if it takes longevity into account. But I'm open to assessing it. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomers will go down as the wealthiest generation in human history.
