In the late stages I think the old folks savings left that are willed to the children and grandchildren makes the elder people their kid’s financial advisors. Sadly, none of my offspring shows any interest in understanding saving and investing. They are “cash backin’” on their credit cards thinking it’s smart getting 3% back but not paying the card off each month, thus getting hit with 29% interest fee.

so who has $6.2 million to pay for duct taped to a wall banana? Prolly those who sold the overpriced “edgycayshun” degrees to those gullible enough to actually believe the lie…
The radio opened the door and Big Band Music was great, but boomers took it to new heights with Rock N’ Roll, and we had the best cars. Those cars are being updated by affluent boomers, ‘retro-rods’, that make them even better.
An American anthropologist has been studying a tribe in Africa by living with them for a year.
One day, the chief called him into the chief’s hut.
The chief sighed. “Well, my friend, it seems that we must ask you to leave.”
The anthropologist was surprised by this; he thought he had gained the tribe’s trust.
“Why, what’s the matter?” he stammered.
“It seems that a woman in our tribe has given birth to a baby… a white baby,” said the chief.
The anthropologist began to laugh. “Oh, is that all? No, that’s just a classic case of albinism. It’s caused by inheriting recessive pigment genes and…”
The chief didn’t look convinced, so he pointed at a nearby flock of sheep. “See those sheep? All of them are white except for that one. It’s like that!”
The chief was silent for a moment and then in a low voice said, “Listen, you don’t talk about the sheep, and I won’t talk about the baby, okay?”

Dad peeling a banana…
When I was six or so my dad started this routine every time he ate a banana…
Dad, peeling the first strip of the banana peel…
“One skin”
Peels the second strip…
“Two skin”
“Three skin”
“Five skin”
I asked him, “What happened to the Four skin?”
Dad answered, “It’s a Jewish banana.”

Being raised with a good work ethic helped make the boomers rich.

Beg to differ. The Silent or Greatest Generation have the best music: Benny Goodman, The Andrew Sisters, Hank Snow etc. and it’s music, not noise.

Millinneals are over paid. The only work they do is constantly fix things that Aren’t Broke, to justify their job.

Not all Boomers are created equal. Those of us at the tail end of the Boomers got clobbered with the recessions and with job loss.

Read a book and write a paper is not best educated. They need to find how to get thrown into the economic mainstream.
