Speak for yourself. I'm in my early 30's,worked since I was 13, moved out of my "Mommy's house" at 18, have owned a couple homes, and make a good living. No excuses here.
So you were hired during one of the biggest economic booms of this time? And saw the largest appreciation in home values?
LOLZ.

okay, good for you. my point still stands and you've done nothing to prove it wrong. 10-15 years of being on your own <<<<< 30-40 years for boomers

That's part of the problem with the current generation, which I'm part of BTW. Too many come out of college thinking they should immediately get the corner office job making 80K+ with all the perks instead of being willing to start at the bottom and paying their dues like every generation before, including the boomers.
link to evidence proving this story?

I was hired by my current company 1 year ago.
I sold a home 2 years ago when the market sucked.

You also likely bought a home during the growth period and in our region were still able to make a hefty gain from it.

To bad Call of Duty didnt help those job skills...Boomers were taught to be selfish with resources so I have mine and yours, sorry. Now get back to work stacking things.
Oh and the music

Bought the house out of forclosure and rebuilt it on my own on weekends and spare time.... Which I would not suggest doing, sweat equity sucks the life outta you

If you need social security to enjoy a nice retirement you did it all wrong. I'm not relying on getting that check and if I do I don't plan to need it.

You know, I have never given this much consideration but you raise excellent points. The baby boomers drain on healthcare is an incredible burden to the entire nation. They enjoyed the perks of pensions, early retirement and government sponsored healthcare at a much earlier age than we will, regardless of work ethic or contribution. So yeah, now that I think about it, frick them.

Yep. They are the greediest generation in the history of the world. They created a false notion of wealth built on debt that they know they won't even have to worry about.
Scruffy believes that if they were honest and wanted to help the future generations, none of them should receive SS benefits. They should donate their SS to pay off the debt they created.

Truth.
I remember in HS seeing these charts almost weekly it seemed about how much more college grads make compared to HS grads and HS drop outs.
Society grilled that in to everybody, from movies and TV always talking about "going off to college" to the everyday hammering students received from their teachers/educators pushing them to go to college.
Turns out, I'd say probably half (maybe 1/3) of current college grads did not need to be a college grad to do their job.

They are the worst

just laugh when boomers call our generation shitty. we're 20-30 years old and haven't really been in the position to do much yet, other than vote and work.
SO FAR YOU'RE 0 FOR 2
