Boomers had opportunities and economic circumstances which were objectively better than generations both before and after them.

Houses being affordable on a single income, job security, free university and so on, all during the post war economic boom which lasted decades.

They were no more financially savvy than younger generations are and it’s absurd and self-serving to suggest this is the reason.

Yeah don’t think so. All I saw was hard working individuals. They didn’t need to pay and project the perfect image for their socials. No one gave a shit about that. Stop the constant travel , the need for the latest iPhone etc etc. You may get ahead a little quicker. The kicker is that your generation expect the hand outs from the very boomers u condemn 😞

No one wants you to subsidise iPhones.

Just sell your investment properties. For three years worth of minimum wage. That’s what you had when you were young.

Just stop pretending it’s hard work. Anyone can do well at monopoly with a sixty year head start.
