Oh, you mean the kids that were sitting in the back seat when dad went to the gas station and said, "Gimmie a bucks worth of regular" while he had his windshield cleaned and oil checked?
The kids from the 60s now pay more a year in freaking gasoline to drive to work, than their parents bought their "new" homes for.
The kids that in later years bought homes where their monthly mortgage payments EQUALS THE TOTAL COST OF WHAT THEIR PARENTS PAID FOR HOMES?
You mean the kids of the 60s that now have no medical benefits, no retirement pensions, losing their jobs, investments and homes they paid a fortune for?
My parents purchased a brand new home, on ONE INCOME, Mom never had to work...
TRY THAT TODAY!
Good God!
Many goods have been repriced for the two income family.
LOL!
Ya mean everything became so damn expensive, mom and dad both have to work just to afford a cheap apartment today? We pay more for car insurance every 3 years than my folks paid for their first, *brand new home". Car insurance!
hahahahha
You make some great points. There has been a lot of cultural events and developments that have served to distract the Baby Boomers from constructing a proper adult life.
I have never felt as if I were a part of my generation. I was an adult at 18 and I cannot name but a few of my cohorts of whom I could claim the same. Everyone was busy playing children’s games while I was working six and seven days a week trying to construct a career. It has been weird for most of my life.
The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow's not as bad as it seems.
