Yes, but I also see the flip side. I often went without luxuries, or even good food in the early 90s (like cutting mold off my bread to make a sandwich for work) so that we could save to buy our first house. While I see young family members complain that life is expensive and its a boomer problem, but they forget their 20k debt is because they are using Skip to order a milkshake, burger, sub etc. every day.
There has been a conveniece culture created, besides capitalism running wild on house prices.
…yeah. The people commenting here have unrealistic expectations. I feel as though they’re using old sitcoms and movies to make assumptions about the boomer generation.
The people alive today in the United States have an unsustainably high standard of living; we need to continue supporting international wars of conquest if we want to keep what we have. The international politics of the Boomer generation is the source of our wealth.
Personally, I think I have more than I deserve. I have no illusions regarding my worth.
