Lucky for me my parents were both "I didn't save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I'm older", so I don't have to suffer through this.

I would argue that the stereotype is that most Boomer parents did not actually do much "raising." They had kids out of some sense of obligation and then kept on focusing on themselves.

Boomers, as a cohort, are incredibly narcissistic and obstinate.

That said, I don't particularly care about an inheritance; I want my Dad to live as long as he can and be happy and healthy.

Gen X and especially millennials are the first ones to be mostly raised by two working parents. We've been fucked since we left the womb.

Boomers: Stay at home moms were the norm.

Before that, huge families and "it takes a village"

Nowadays, it takes three jobs to be able to afford daycare.

Good points. And that shift in paradigm may have been endurable, but Boomers simultaneously felt the need to castigate young people for not failing upwards, as they did, gaslighting multiple generations for being born into predatory systems that Baby Boomers ushered in.

They voted against the betterment of others at every turn, while reaping the prosperity of their oversized influence for 50 years and then told their children and grandchildren (who, by and large, are MUCH better educated) that we are lazy and underachieving.

They're the worst generation in American history.
