re: Has a generation screwed the world and nation up more than the boomers?

Don’t know where you live or what the boomers you know wound up like, but my friends and the majority of people in my community are retiring from 55-60 with solid pensions and savings, traveling and living a good life.

So they won WW2 and kept your candy arse from speaking German.

The boomers really stepped up after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor

As angry and bitter as you are on this board, no one will believe you.

You're a 90 year old curmudgeon trapped in a 29 year old accountants tiny body.

[img]No he should retire because he was responsible during his working life. That's how well oiled economies work. If the workers overstay their economic cycle they depress wages of the next group of workers who then have to repeat the cycle until you find yourself in a terrible recession. But again, Boomers dont give a shite because they're getting theirs.[/img]

So you are saying a person at 55 which is roughly a 30 year career is overstaying their economic cycle?

I got news chief. That’s not the world we live in. And I don’t foresee it in my lifetime.

And I’m getting mine because I put my neck out and took all of the risks, absorbed the failures without complaint, adjusted to the times I’ve lived in and paid more than my fair share of dues.

And my kids will do better than me because of how I’ve lived and worked not in spite of it.

Sorry to upset all of your groups pity party. I’ll die in due time as all boomers will and you can have my rat race.

Probably not at 55 but at 60 is when they should phase out.

I'm aware and it will have negative economic effects.

This isn't isolated to you or your generation so it's irrelevant

Congratulations, but you are the minority.

It's not a pity party, it's economics which your ilk dismisses

If you really believe that you're severely naive. You are the largest piece to your future, but theres millions of outcomes that are out of your control that affect your future.
