Somehow, working people manage to get along without them. And somehow, people manage to go without, and then save something on top of it.
But, "ok, boomer".
Sorry I just make regular money, and manage to save.

Your right it's not " ok Boomer" BUT gen xers were able to take advantage of the Boomer governments and parents being in a postion to help out . Gen exers fuelled by indifference and apathy were able to help multiple historic economy crashes , fuel government spending cuts, all time low voter turnouts, stagnate wages etc.
Then have the brass balls to shun millennials basically pull a bill Cosby "pull your pants up" routine of un self awareness . Your generation and the one before you basically are responsible for creating not a few but a whole generation of latchkey kids because there was no forethought just 2 generations that needed gratification now. When oomers and gen exers accuse millenials of needing self gratification right away it's easy to see that's
Juat classic projection. Boomers and gen exers historically never need to wait for perks they could afford to get it because you could at the time. No self awareness that wages were more inline with inflation not by much but the buying power you had was more proportional than today. Over spending in the last 2 generations fuelled the rising cost cooperation put us today.
