I feel fortunate to have all 3 of my kids of the same political beliefs as my wife and I. I think one reason is church every Sunday no exceptions. When I see friends listening to their 20 something year olds liberal bs I think to myself no way could I continue busting my arse to support that little unappreciative turd

Don't worry. Boomers have absolutely zero intention of ever looking out for anyone but themselves. It's their defining characteristic.

OP, i am a tail end boomer. 1964.
I agree with you mostly. We just buried dad sept 2021. Mom was already gone.
9 of us Heirs. Dad drove a big, old F 150 always breaking down , his last years ( he bought new in 02). I kept telling him to go buy a new Toyota Tacoma so he could still go do his cemetary maintenance, but have a reliable truck, And, one that would fit in them small park spaces at the doctors offices. Hardhead would not do it.
9 of us now stuck with alot of money.
Only 4 of us deserved it.
So, i see alot of validity in what you say.
I would adjust my Will, to those heirs that came to see you, brought you Christmas dinner, Thanksgiving, etc.
Good thread, but the answer is to take care of yourself first, and adjust your Will with updates as to who gave you the time of day.

Secondly, no generation below Boomers should have an expectation of being due any estate succession. You go to work and earn your way. IF you get anything, then thats a bonus.

Probably would have an argument if Boomers hadn't voted to spend all my money on black people who won't work to virtue signal and if they hadn't perfected divorce and alimony.

Who makes of the majority of Congress right now? Listen Boomer you act as if your generation is so great and without fault when the truth is some of this mess was created by your generation. I am sick of Boomers bashing younger generations thinking they were so great when the truth is some Boomers are greedy and entitled. I have to pay for a SS system for you benefit from and that will be depleted before I would ever be able to collect. Also I am a Millennial and my wife is Gen X and we take care of her silent generation mother and my Boomer mother. My wife and I have outperformed both of our parents in both professional career and earnings. In my opinion that is how it should be and if you are a Boomer and have children or grandchildren that are not making anything of their life than you may wanna look in the mirror first before you cast blame because they are a reflection of you. The truth is I probably voted the same way you did and we are 2 generations apart ,but I mean christ dude stop blaming every problem on the younger generations.

Boomers think they deserve all the respect of their parents' generation with none of the effort. It's me, me, me, all the time. I'm tired of hearing about their principles. I could write a book on the self absorbed empty principles of Boomers.

In that respect, the counter to your general mischaracterization takes the form of $68 Trillion dollars set to be passed on from Silents/Boomers. $68 Trillion is far and away the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer in the history of our planet.
Then again, the counter to your characterization individually may well be that one often gets what one deserves.

The boomers are why we are where we are today. They were shitty parents who inflated the egos of the younger generation with their “everyone gets a trophy” bullshite, and lived high on the hog thinking the financial success of the 80s and 90s would never end and set us up for fiscal problems down the road. They’re also about to bankrupt all social services over the next 20 years, so while they will actually benefit from the Ponzi schemes set up by the government the rest of us will not despite paying into it for decades.

Not Boomers, unfortunately.
By the way, the rest of us can still do math. Thanks to all those loans and wars you guys love, that 68 trillion dollar gift is actually only $5.5, so again, no.

Thats not true. Most boomers kicked the kids out of the nest at 18 . Knew it would ultimately benefit the kid.
What you describe came way later, under one of the other gens.

Regarding "bankrupting" "social services," presumably the reference is to Medicare and Social Security? Those are two completely different programs.
Phasing out medicare for a safety net proportional to taxdollars paid-in would save the government money.
Phasing out SS would be superb!!!
But, as long as we maintain a national debt, phasing out SS would cost the government money. Why? Because SS is NOT a retirement benefit. It is an extorted loan. SS is a program forcing US workers to loan DC money, just as surely as if those workers were forced to buy US savings bonds with each paycheck. The catch is, unlike saving bonds, the SS money is only returned 20, 30, or 40yrs later and at a horrid ROI (or in the case of premature death, not returned at all). Incredibly, the majority of those same SS taxpayers (yourself included) still view the paltry ROI as a social services "benefit." SMH.

OTOH, if you intimating that the pending intergenerational wealth transfer in 1950 was anywhere near $5.5 trillion, you are poorly informed.

Neither of those were my point.
