How on earth is someone in the baby boomer generation broke today?
Pretty much anyone with a pulse could go to college and graduate debt free unlike today and earning a degree in ANYTHING back then pretty much meant an upper middle class life.

Plenty of good paying manufacturing jobs were available to people with a high school education or less unlike the chitty service industry jobs around today.

The stock market had an almost uninterrupted run up from a dow of 800 in 1980 to 11000 in 2000.

Homes were unbelievably cheap compared to today's prices.

It was easier to become an entrepreneur before all the inventions/hit startups like Starbucks, Amazon, Apple, Social Media, IT Companies, popular restaurants and stores created recently, etc were already thought of.

The old heads seriously done fell off. The 80s and 90s babies are achieving #blackexcellence in droves despite the chitty economy and expensive ass education we have to go through.

The baby boomers are mad delusional about how the world really operates today.

And this is where I felt compelled to stop reading. I kept reading anyway. Looks like the St. Ronnie revisionists are at it again.
