I consider myself neither an X-er or a Baby boomer (I was born in a year that has been ascribed to both generations, depending on who is defining it.) SO, I am not taking any side here.
I am just rebutting your revisionist view of history that Baby Boomers were frugal folks who lived within their means and wore one pair of Levi’s jeans for 10 years and drove their crappy chevy with roll-up windows for 20 years.
They were a selfish, entitled generation relative to their predecessors, just like virtually every generation has been in this country since it was founded.
