re: I have a message for Boomers who have played by the rules.

I’m 64 years old and retiring this December, I’ve been working in some capacity since I was 14 years old.

I’m totally old school when it comes to personal finances….excluding a couple of home mortgages and some automobiles loans years ago we don’t buy unless we have the cash to purchase….it’s worked pretty well over the past +40 years. We haven’t bought a new automobile in 20 years and we made extra payments on our home mortgage to pay it off early.

We’re certainly not wealthy but if we don’t spend money carelessly the wife and I should be good until we check out of this earthly domain, and we can have a lot of enjoyment with the money we’ve squirreled away before we check out.

My message to Boomers is do not feel obligated to leave a shite load of money to your children and grandchildren, enjoy yourselves, you’ve worked +40 years, you’ve earned it.

If you’re a Boomer with children and grandchildren who are America First/MAGA types I can understand wanting to kick them some bucks when you check out, but for you Boomers that have children and grandchildren that are voting against your best interests and expecting you to drop that pot of gold at their feet when you check out…..
