The sad reality of boomers is that they were the most mediocre generation produced by the most extraordinary amount of financial stimulus known to history… they literally could not fail…. If you were a complete moron, you could still work 40-60 hours a week, finance a home purchase, and build a portfolio over 30-40 years to be now a multi-millionaire… No Vietnamese, no depression… nothing stood in their way except for a few market downturns which lasted no longer than a few years and even then the purchasing power was still good…
