Boomers worked all their lives starting out from Post-WW2 austerity and ruin, to build a peaceful and prosperous world. In the process they paid for their parents' pensions and their children's education. Now all we hear is "you've got it all, and we want it from you without working for it".

"Relative to average earnings in society at the time, the baby buster generation could be around 25% less wealthy at age 65 than the baby boomers in terms of total accumulated housing, pension and other financial wealth."
