As a "baby boomer" I am sure you worked hard, lived real frugal, maybe in a low rent area and did not have a car for a few years after you married as you were saving for a car and home when you could afford it !! I am sure you did not buy a car on credit and you financed only a portion of the home with the commitment that you would pay the mortgage before you tried to "trade up"?
That when you retired you paid cash for your home as you saved for retirement. When called on to support your community through personal commitments and need to work on its social programs, (e.g. United Way, Jaycees, YMCA, etc.) that you stepped up to the plate and dedicated a good portion of your time to better the community. And for 40-50 years you paid into SS and only accepted Medicare as a goverhment program to let some air out of the high costs for new equipment that was being brought to the medical field, (e.g. Cat Scans, MRI's, etc.) which was funded before the liberals decided to use the money for something else and then claim poverty.Life is good but before you challenge the "older generation" remember that we tried to live responsibility as I am sure some "baby boomers" have done and deserve credit for those that did.
