Young people don't like us boomers? Oh, wonder why!

First off, we flipped the bird to our post -victorian elders, and not only that, we shook our skank right in their face (during Thankgiving dinner and other such times, when it really wasn't the time or place to discuss our weedism/marxism/gayism or whatever other weirdoism...ugh).  At the very least, can ya spell TMI (not the nuke plant in Pennsylvania)?   And not only that, we chided, if not totally made fun of, our parents for having  been born and raised post-victorian - like their birth year was something they could choose? 

Anyway, per a google news article, young people are upset with boomers' financial advice, because, frankly, it's not only outdated, but smug as all get out!  One young person's comment was so right-on - the individual had, in so many words, stated that cutting out the iced coffee, and whatever other little (AM) luxuries will save you what? like $500? -  yeah, that will go a long way.  Another young person made the comment that when boomers were young, gas was like .15 a gallon.  Okay, that might be an exaggeration,  but i remember the premium for .65.  Btw, what i drove probably took regular, but back then, didn't know any better, thought gas was like hamburg - only bought the good kind ... ya know, that ole post-victorian influence.

Anyway, why should some thirty-something, slogging it off each morning to a ... ugh, job - one that might not be there next month, or the month after, or the one after that - wait, on bated breath for the next unsolicited installment of boomer "wisdom!"  And ssso patly imparted by some old broad (with a butch-cut - of cccouurrse) who, Number One hasn't paid a mortgage for...some years, has plenty of moolah stashed in the bank, and Number Two doesn't have to (hmmph) work for a living - oh bells no!!!

The unasked for advice is, at worst, highly insulting - of course, it is; name of the game, baby!  Hear boomer tell, it's like mr. (or ms.) millennial hasn't bothered to tighten his belt.  Bull dinky!  And furthermore, the individual, driving in the early morning ice and slop, still needs to breathe.  That $3.95 refreshment in the pretty cup - with a non-slip lid - packaged with a straw, cream and a napkin...in a cutsie bag, a little oasis of certainty in uncertain times.
