Every generation faces challenges that prior generations did not. My father fought in world war two. My generation was the last group living with the military draft, in a time of an ongoing unpopular war.
Life is not fair. Our educational system is broken. On and on. I can't help the financial conditions you face. Don't fall into the trap of blaming adverse circumstances on someone different from you. Not all old people are/were assholes, just like not all young people are not whining little babies. For what it is worth, in my experience, young people are suffering from a outdated and politically correct educational system, and they are often not well trained or suited for the job market they face. They are given unrealistic expectations by a society that lies to them about the harshness of life. Your generation needs to change that.

boomers directly contributed to the financial conditions i face and will demand that i subsidize their lives until death

they are more intelligent and more educated than the boomers who came before them. what kind of point are you making?

They are given unrealistic expectations

their expectations are the same opportunities that were available to those before them. how is that unrealistic?

or are you admitting that the boomers have completely fricked our society to where basic expectations are now "unrealistic"?
