I don't think I was born at a very good time, raised poor as dirt. life didn't get good till the mid 70's. I think the "boomers" were my parents, not us. They sit on nice fat pensons, and had all the good things in life.
Now, it seems I'll never get to retire, things cost 50 times more and are regulated to death, cars are crappy, not like the good ones from the 70's, police state, etc.....
