My Boomer Tips

In other words, Boomers would usually cover people born between which years? Gen X people were born between what years? Gen Y people were born between what years?

What are each generation's major attitude about life, and which world events shaped these ideas?

My Boomer Tips

Almost everytime a Baby Boomer talks about a Gen X or Y person, s/he will almost always say that Gen X and/or Y has had it easy, or that Gen X and/or Y are lazy and only care about themselves, etc.

Why do Baby Boomers think so lowly of the Gen X and Gen Y people?

My Boomer Tips

I've noticed that a lot of people are really all about how the parent should not try to "control" the child. I once asked if I should consider swatting the rear end of a 10 yr old that was coughing for 2 days and plagued with body aches for refusing to take medicine. For that I was called a "horrible person" and other hostile remarks. I've been told that asking a child to apologize is "pulling a power trip". Each generation seems to be turning out more slackers, more whiners, more instant gratifications types, more dishonesty and less hard workers than the next since the BB generation. Then swearing at your parents got U a spay of whoop-azz and parents were EXPECTED to execute control and direction over their kids. Many parenting styles changed in the 70s and 80s. If this works why is it that in the areas of personal responsibility, work ethics, honesty, ability to delay gratification and work hard for a goal, etc. Gen X and Gen Y are to the Baby Boomers as a Yugo is to a Mercedes?
And no I'm not saying the BB are without problems. They had unreported sexual abuse of kids; they had a myriad of other problems. I am saying that the things that they did correctly perhaps should be kept not discarded. Also, I'm a GenXer btw.

Once the Baby Boomers start to retire, will they withdraw more money from the stock market than is able to be put in by Gen X? And if not, won't that result in a crash of the stock market and massive losses of savings for the Baby Boomers?
