    Boomers are not the class above anyone, virtually all of them are working class. Theyre just also brainwashed to hate socialized benefits.

      Every boomer I know owns a home and has significantly more liquidity than I do. Maybe your story is different, but to say they are unequivocally not in a class above anyone is false.

      Perhaps you aren’t considering enough classes. There are more than 2.

        Correct.

        I’ve spent my life watching boomers live in a manner FAR less frugal than what myself and my peers consider normal. I am in my 40s.

        My grandparents had 3 children and a house and did a Hawaii trip every other year. My grandpa was a used car salesman that never stayed at one job more than a few years at a time and my grandma had part time jobs off and on.

        We are not living in the same economic reality they did/are.
