Meanwhile, some of those kids have given up ever owning a home and are the ones buying expensive cars, iphones and ipads, and go on backpacking trips to Europe and Asia.

The reason those kids can't afford a home is because of the excessive debt accumulation by the boomers driving up house prices. A serious day of reckoning is coming for the children of the boomers being forced to pay for their parents.
