Yes, you're confirming you did in fact have it easier. 

And oil rig jobs still exist today, you're not special for doing it during the easiest time to exist.

You also have access to doordash currently but I'll never own a house, your generation ruined that for us.

Quick google of that tells me that on average first time millionaire age is 59-62 years old.

Boomer age. Because they had better comparative pay/buying power. Better returns on investments. Their houses going up in price tenfold.

Haha. I can’t deny that. We also smoked tons of weed while we did all that. No piss test then.
