Most Boomers started with nothing from poor parents after the 2nd World War. We had a simple life as kids where technology was a black & white TV and we had a wireless. Most Household appliances were rented because they were unaffordable to buy. A licence was required to watch TV. But we always felt safe and had freedoms that todays generations can't even imagine. We left money by the letter box over night for the milkman and not only were our doors and windows unlocked they were usually left wide open even when the house was unoccupied. We sat quietly in the car with a bag of crisps and a ginger beer while Mum and Dad had a few beers at the local. Boomers wanted to give their kids more than they had so worked hard to prosper. A 40 hour week was usually 60 with no overtime paid. Unfortunately due to boomer generosity some (not all) of the next generations became soft and wanted the simple life handed to them on a plate. There will always be exceptions to the rule in any generation and unfortunately there will always be a-holes. You sound like a perfect example of a lazy self serving a-hole who has no respect and feels liberated because he can hide behind a keyboard and say things he would never say to a persons face.
Future generations after Boomers have certainly had it easier however because of that ease I am not sure they have had it better.
You are fortunate because you can go back and finish your schooling. Many Boomers left at 14 or 15 to get work because the family needed to eat.
