Because they're generalizing. Is every boomer a millionaire? No, there were plenty of cooks, waitresses, mechanics, retail jobs, ect that aren't. What they're talking about are people that made middle-class my money in a lifetime career at the same job. They became millionaires by doing absolute shit other than living life, on a single income with however many kids.

Now a days, if you're in a middle office job you're living paycheck to me paycheck in a 1 bedroom apartment and may or may not be forced to take the bus. People with the jobs earlier ate living of revolving credit, snap, and maybe other forms of convenient assistance.

So no, EVERY BOOMER didn't make out, but the bar for "a good life" was multiple times lower than it is now. Now people who would be considered "rich" by boomers are middle-class today.

I grew up as the only child of a single boomer mother who was poor as fuck. All that to say, your parents are probably good people, because wealth has nothing to do with how shitty boomers are to people.

My mother was homeless for a solid 5 years in my adulthood, and the bitch still had the gall to complain about section 8 housing being heavily populated by black people cuz she didn't want to be the "only white person".

While I agree that those hoarding wealth and power are the primary target, a lot of boomers keep voting for fucking fascists and refuse to acknowledge the leopards eating their faces.
