bullshite. Boomers were parents during the late 80s and 90s and paid for all of that except for Uber, streaming and apps.
Exactly... and they're almost just as addicted to technology as teenagers. As a whole, boomers are extremely lazy and benefited massively from the sacrifices of the greatest generation.

Average cc debt for boomers and millenials is basically the same. 
Enjoy that myth, though.

so half of your list is just your own laziness and ignorance. And the other half aren’t needs.m, but wants.
i get your Boomer parents are real proud with the moron they’ve raised.

Boomers are one of the worst generations in this country’s history. Definitely the worst generation since slavery was legal ainec.
Those old turds have been a giant net negative to this country.

Oil changes - yes we did
Someone to change our tire - do you mean a flat or new set of tires? Agree if you mean flats but disagree if you mean new tires.
Streaming TV services (worthless) - are you retarded? These weren't invented yet but I would've because how the hell else was I supposed to watch Gunsmoke?
Brand new vehicles - you are retarded
House cleaning - maids ain't free now and weren't then either

- stupid foreign wars
- keep their jobs too long
- ask for help with technology constantly
- Walmart
- made college cost too much
- looked down on blue collar jobs
- told us we were special and gave us participation trophies

PSA for OP
Whatever you do, don’t look at how much $$ us boomers have vs your little nest egglet.
It will make you even sadder than you already are & we need you to work hard so you can pay SS taxes on time. We’re counting on you bro!

As a Gen Xer… piss off with that shite .. boomers have wrecked government spending leading to the continued massive inflation issues

The list is accurate for most of the boomers I know. We did raise our kids in the eighties & nineties, and we were raised by our WWII parents to do things for ourselves.
Some of our houses were smaller, but many of us had 2000+ sq ft houses. Many of us also had less children than our parents because the Population Bomb book that started the small family trend was published in 1968, and my generation were greatly influenced by it. Most of the boomers I know had two children. My family of six was unusual.

House square footage was considerably less with more kids in them.
