Not to say they didn't work. But the world they grew up in wasn't there for us by the time we were adults. They could walk in off the street and get good paying jobs. Have a house early on. A car. A family. We had to fight tooth and nail...

It wasn't that different for Gen X. Baby Boomers had it good, really good, and they're also really good at pulling up the ladder after them.

💯Boomers and their parents supported a system that's created this horrible time for next generations. I think about my students (past & present) every f'ing day and ask "how can allow this?" And many of we boomers are equally pissed-off!! We need cross-generational action on scale not seen before!

Seriously. I was trying to explain to my dad that the whole “your apartment should be no more than 1/4 of your salary” thing isn’t feasible and hasn’t been for years. “Maybe you need a roommate.” I am in my 40s with a masters and a career. I should not NEED to get a roommate.

It’s a classic tale by now but my dad got a job somewhere in his early 30s after getting an mba and then stayed until he retired. I don’t know a single person living that life, no matter what field they’re in.
