And these cold fricking a-hole boomers who have no idea what it’s like just give these frick you platitudes of “oh well just work hard”

Well frick you man. We are. When you were our age, you could work at the fricking grocery store or fricking McDonald’s and own a home and support your damn family. God that fricking makes me so fricking mad. Boomers need to just kick the bucket.

From a boomer who has worked his whole life and still working. Asked no one for nothing and what I have is not much but it's payed for through sacrifice and hard work.

Again,

You're a whiny bitch.

I also lived in an old farmhouse without central heat and air. I remember hanging thermal curtains to keep the heat and air in the main living room. One summer the candles on the top shelves literally melted due to the heat. I also didn’t have a car with AC until I was in my 30s.
I do well now, but I’ve been getting out of bed everyday for 20+ years going to work for the same company and generally work hard.

Not sure I’m a Boomer. Was born in 1966. I will say that I seldom pass a Starbucks that isn’t busy.

I doubt all those folks buying $10 cups of coffee are Boomers.

This is hilarious and sad at the same time. Hilarious because an (apparent) adult is this retarded and soft, and sad because he's not alone.

When Boomers were your age, they had a better grasp of reality than you do, even when they were dropping acid.

You still can. A manager at a fast food restaurant makes at least $50k-$75k. A grocery store manager is going to make the same or a little more.

A dual-income family with a couple of fast food managers or grocery store manager is going to be able to live comfortably.

Get to work.

Richleau This Boomer started out making $2.10 per hour. 30 years later I made $42k per year and bought a house, got an advanced degree. This poor arse planned and educated myself properly. I have plenty money to retire on and Im not retirement age. It can be done. (I didn't get married or have kids).
