Boomers were the most spoiled generation in history. It's hilarious how much they bitch and moan about younger generations yet never had to do half the work we have to do for the same money.

My grandparents all basically failed upwards all their lives, except for my maternal grandfather, who got a pharmacy degree. My paternal grandfather got a job at Exxon where he stayed for 20 years, then moved to shell, where he did the exact same thing for another 10 years. He never had a change in job description or an increase to his work duties, but he never failed to get a raise each year and when he retired, he had three homes to his name. My maternal grandmother got a nursing degree after the Vietnam War and was an ER nurse for 10 years then was moved to infectious disease study. She's worth millions on investments alone. 

If I acted as they did when they were my age, I would be homeless right now. They never had to grab life by the horns or force themselves to work 70 hours a week just to pay rent and car bills. When they were kids they worked shit jobs, sure, and they made minimum wage (or just above it) but that was back when minimum wage could actually support a person. Sure, putting the pockets on Levi's isn't glamorous, but at least it paid the bills back then
