I just read another post on FB from a whining millennial who says he can't get ahead in life due to high taxes and student loans/the cost of college. this is what I have to say when I hear younger people whining:

This type of "claim/statement" is insulting to "boomers" everywhere. After leaving a long marriage, I lived at the poverty level for several years as I entered the workforce at an entry level position at Walmart. Even though I had a BA and a teaching credential, a BA in English is fairly useless and I could not find a job as a teacher. I returned to school at age 47 to get an MA; that was 22 years ago and I will be paying student loans until I am 78. I bought a house 12 years ago when Pres. Obama "gave" me $8,000 to do so. My interest rate is the same as anyone else who is buying a house today. In fact, I refinanced twice to get a lower rate than the original loan.

With the MA, I haven't been able to get a full-time position, so I teach for three schools, part-time, online. I didn't go for a PhD because of my age. When my local school cut back the number of classes adjuncts could teach, I applied at a dozen or more online/seated school and got ONE interview; luckily, the school hired me. I work everyday grading and posting in discussions and will continue to work until I can no longer do so. However, I teach six classes concurrently because I have no pension and my SS is $1,090 a month. With so many classes, I make good money, but I save half it so I can have something to fall back on when I can no longer teach. I can afford to buy those expensive coffees (if I drank coffee) and have lunch/dinner out, but I don't because I don't want to wind up an old woman eating cat food. I drove the same second-hand car for 15 years until it died.
There are millions of boomers trying to live on SS who are at/below the poverty level. They worked at menial jobs their entire lives and were unable to pay a lot into SS OR save money. If I had not gotten an MA, I would be one.

I have read younger people say that old people are hogging all the good jobs and refusing to retire, thus preventing them from getting those good jobs. What do they expect some of us to do? Besides, 99% of them can't do my job and, in addition, the playing field is open and many of my colleagues are younger than I am.

So, no, "THIS" is not "IT." This blanketly stereotypes boomers and the claims are fallacies.
By the way, my millennial son makes in excess of $80,000 a year with an AA degree in IT--not an advanced degree. He would make more in a big city or another state, but he and his wife prefer not to move. Together, they make well over $110,000 a year--not bad for Missouri. My other son is homeless in Cali. "IT" can be about life choices.

Another by the way, I lived in a house without running water until I was six years old. Until my mother got a wringer washer, she washed clothes in a pot in the yard. We didn't have electricity until the late 40s/early 50s. "Dirt poor" doesn't even begin to describe how poor my parents and grandparents were. And yet, we had it better than inner city people because we could at least grow food. Five out of the seven kids my grandmother bore lived. I had untreated ear infections so bad that my ears bled--there was no local doctor and we couldn't get to bigger towns in winter.

Imagine that--boomers who had no luxuries, didn't buy a house until they were in their 50s, and face old age with uncertainty because unlike SOME of their counterparts, they didn't make a lot of money but worked for minimum wage their entire lives. In fact, "Over 15 million Americans aged 65+ are economically insecure—living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) ($25,760 per year for a single person in 2021)."
