    I'm a Baby Boomer born in 62, graduated high school into an economy that offered very few well paying jobs in 1981. I overcame Foreclosures, drug addiction and homelessness. I lived in a pick up truck w/shell for about 5 years (we were not called "Nomads" back then) I eventually went to trade school, got a skill and was making 6 figures by the mid 90s. Point is I RESENT THE BLAME that is put on my generation by others!! Life Sucks Sometimes but you keep plowing ahead. Blaming others is not going to solve anything. And If you want change, maybe get a skill and a job going forward instead of living in the desert doing very little to change your situation.

    I have 2 kids in their mid to late 20's and agree that the average wage earner today cannot afford housing, transportation, good food, etc. As a cusp boomer myself(born in 1961), we were just trying to do the best we could in that era. Just like generations that came before us. We weren't trying to destroy the future for the next generations. Try growing up in the great depression like my grandparents did, they could have easily blamed the people of the roaring 20's for their plight, but they didn't they pushed on and had backbones. These things run in cycles. The pendulum will swing back and there will be a correction.

      You wouldn't want me to start on what I've witnessed from my elders. But I do agree hard work is the best to get better! I just simply want to see some recognition and understanding. Some accountability from what I've seen is a very smug generation that thinks they should have pride in something that wasn't created by them.
      My grandfathers generation built a great economy, the great 50's and actually stayed in their marriages. Boomer generation squandered E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G they could get their hands on and continue to destroy everything they touch. While at the same time poking at younger generations with tales of how hard they worked (laughing, they got 10x more for even less work, one income could pay for a family and they more than likely had both parents in the household when they were growing up. What did they give their kids? Single parent homes and divorce. The list goes on).
      I want to see the delusional smug, and the "i worked so hard" comments suggesting generation X didn't have to work twice as hard. And can't keep a family together after boomers ruined the family unit as well. I just want the smug pride to take a turn. Then I'll start in on my generation and even younger.But most of ya'll just absolutely REFUSE to admit ANY fault. Just want to boast about your success. :-)

    I am not a baby boomer and I didn’t depend on parents or siblings to carve my future. I did it on my own at 17 years of age, absolutely no one gave me anything. I didn’t blame any prior generations or the next, my successes and failures are all my responsibility. I chose to get an education and go to work, even had two jobs for a couple of years to accomplish my goals. Today, I am responsible for myself and proud of what I have accomplished, far too many people spend a lot of time whining and complaining and do not invest on themselves simply because finding a direction to point the finger at is easier. The company I work for hires 150-175 people a week so whomever doesn’t have a job is because they do not want to work unless they have a LEGITIMATE medical condition that prevents them to do so.

      Dude, When I was 25 ( in 1970 ) I was working on the railroad catching runs when the older guys took a day off. The minimum wage at that time was 2.25 / hour maybe ). I thought I was doing good working 12 hours away from home and making 50 bucks. I lived in a boarding houses and cheap hotels most of the time. I usually only had 10 bucks for food on most overnight trips. Born in the early fifties I think I’m a boomer and feel lucky to still be above the ground. And you know I was 70 when I clocked out the last time. And in no way a rich man.

      I'm not sure I said in any video Robert, that some boomers didn't have it rough. I just stated that the wages were great, houses were cheap and the food was real. And now, all these decades later with the boomers having been in charge. The food is poison, houses are out of reach for youngins, and the cost of living is ridiculous. They managed to turn the US into 3rd world in one generation. And STILL in power making it worse while sucking out any last bits of freedom and quality before they go. Leaving rot and decay in their path.

    Building a future starts with the individual. You can build yourself by experience and education. My generation didn't believe in borrowing money. The interest rates were high and if your smart you would save for your needs and only purchase your wants if they were affordable. Most females went into the work force because inflation required more money than the average man could earn to be middle class. The wants were borrowed money purchases, once they were in debt far enough, they were trapped. If you monitor inflation you will find that wages don't keep up taxes or inflation. The day is coming that social programs run by the government will be the law and provider for the people of this fine nation. In the last 3 years the retired boomers have lost 30% + in buying power, in other words they can kiss 30% of their nest egg good by forever.

    Being one of the 1st Baby Boomers to be born after WWII I grew up in a time when America was being told to go forth and multiply. My parents bought their first home out of town by 2 1/2 miles so my sister and I were raised as country kids but my parents wanted us to get a decent education so my parents went to court each year for the first 8 grades to allow us to go to city schools which meant we rode a school bus every day of school for 12 years. My parents bought a home on 5 acres in 1947 for $5000.00 and my father on a salary of less than $350.00 a month managed to have the property paid for in 5 years. The school system was less than great from the late 40's until now. We were taught things that never come into play in real life and the things we were taught only sometimes are beneficial in the real world. I feel like today at age 78 what needs to be taught in school is how to read, write, basic math, some science, and lots of history about what has worked and what has failed over and over again. Teach junior high through high school how money works and the value of it. When I graduated high school my parents had a checking account and the only thing I understood about it was that my mother could write money when ever she wanted to buy something. How to balance a checkbook was learned by the school of hard knocks a few years later in life when I decided to get a checking account of my own. The fact that the bank was going to just take out bank fees from my money was an unknown until it happened. I thought I had money in the account and I could just do like my mother and write money when I needed it. I learned that overdraft fees were something to have to deal with.
    The second time around I married a woman much smarter than myself and she was raised very poor and had figured out the value of money and how to save it. By poor I mean she lived in a house with out running water so it was water from a well out back and an outhouse for a bathroom. A bath was taken in a washtub with water either heated by the sun in the summer or heated on a gas stove in the colder parts of the year. Her father was only around until she turned 7 and from then on she was lucky to see him once or twice a year. He did not pay any child support for her or her sister. He died when she was 13 and her mother was able to draw veteran and Social Security benefits from him after he died and they moved into a small town when she was 15 and she had running water and an indoor bathroom for the first time that she could remember. Her mother got pissed off about something when she was 16 and hit her with an iron pipe and she left and went to live with her grandmother for the last two years of high school. She got her first job right out of high school and was also trying to go to college and pay her own way.
    After two years she was not able to keep up with school and work and her doctor told her that you have to either stop working or stop going to college and she told him if she wanted to eat and live she would have to quit school.
    At 20 years old she moved to a large city and went to work and also enrolled in Banking and Business school. While in Banking school she met her first husband that was also going to the same school for an accounting course. After she graduated she went to work as an long distance phone operator and was still dating her first husband until at age 21 she got married and the first six month were beyond anything she could imagine. He was earning $50K a year in 1968 and they lived in an apartment with a maid that came in 3 times a week to help keep the place clean and changed sheets on the bed do the laundry and so forth. You get the picture. Seven months in her new husband started to show his rear self and using her for a punching bag. Over the next two months he beat her three times, once knocking her into a wall so hard she could not move for over two hours, another beating he broke her front tooth and broke three ribs. At the end of the eighth month she packed up and left him while he was at work and filed for a divorce. It took over six months for the papers to be served on him because his buddies would lie and tell the officer trying to serve him that he was not there that day. He managed to get a divorce and was living in a town 75 miles away from him and he had a restraining order to not be in the same town she was in or if she saw him he could be put in jail. Did I mention that he was an ex boxer in the navy and oh yes 17 years older than her. She stayed single for the next seven years and my sister introduced us the year before and we dated for six months and I ask her to marry me. I am one year older than her. We were married 8 months later and that was 46 years ago. Since she wanted nothing from her first husband but OUT, she got $100.00 a month for one year as alimony. We started from pretty much nothing. She was renting an apartment and I was renting a duplex but we lived 175 miles apart and only were able to see each other on the weekends. I drove that 175 miles every weekend except two that I had to work overtime at my job and could not get out of it for 13 months before we were married in my parents home in front of the fireplace in a very simple no frills wedding. She had no children and I never wanted any so we decided before we got married I would have a vasectomy so she would not have to take birth control pills and take a chance they might not work. I decided after serving 3 years in the United States Marine Corps that what was happening to the world was not likely to get any better. From what I could tell this country was going to get into some kind of a war every generation or less. After WWI came WWII and then in the 50's Korea then in the 60's Vietnam. By 1978 when we got married I knew if history told me anything we would be getting into another war somewhere soon. Well much to my surprise Desert Storm in 1991 took a little longer than I thought but it happened none the less and it seems we will be in some kind of a mess for at least the rest of my life. Oh hell this is going on forever and nobody really cares anyway so I will just shut the hell up. Long story short because of my wife's handling of our money I was able to retire at 59 1/2 years old and until taxes and insurance take our ability to pay the bills I plan to stay that way. VOTE TRUMP and maybe life will be able to continue for a while longer.

    I started berry picking when I was 14, I spent my summers picking strawberries, then raspberries, then beans. and during the school year I babysat on weekends. Us boomers worked hard to get what we got, nothing was handed to us. I don't know many teens today who have to work to pay for school clothes and their own entertainment, it's handed to them by their parents. By the time they are in their 20's they are totally UN prepared to start working to actually earn what it is they want, then they complain that they can't afford anything. When I think of it in this way I can understand why the boomers don't have the pity for the younger generations, to us, they seem lazy.

    • @LivingFree
      @LivingFree  2 дня назад +1

      You're giving me the typical boomer response I mentioned in the video. While I agree with some of what you said, that they're lazy and entitled. I covered a reason why young adults aren't trying to do much. The fact is, they have to work 10x harder to get the same your generation did when you were starting out.
      And ownership, which I went over in the video. A lot, feel like they're trying to cut down an oak tree with a butter knife. Look at the buying power of the dollar now compared. Add the cost of living, and the price of everything. Then add the ownership factor.
      What you did, is ignorantly tried to correct without knowing the market whatsoever. Your response is very typical. Don't care to study, just say "work harder". While you came from a time where one blue collared job could pay for a family. And now, barely two normal incomes can pay for one. These kids can't afford families haha are you kidding? Especially on picking berries.
      You literally have no idea what you're talking about. But just had to add in a cold, tough response. The newer generations have a lot of issues. But why don't you try on some accountability. Who raised em? Anyways, have a good day. Take care.

    I really think the problem has to do with the amount of information that is available and how easy it is to access it. In the past, scams were not very common, and technology was not available to help these people scam and take advantage of others. Now, a person can get so much information in a few minutes, and they can see the success of others taking advantage of others so they can easily replicate it themselves.
    Also, this is a big ALSO. The large corporations have infiltrated the government and media, and they are way more powerful than the government! They make the rules to help themselves so they can grow and be more powerful!
    I want to go off grid just like you did, and I want to live a life much more free, but I have a family to support and children to prepare for this new and ugly country and world.
    My current plan is to set them up for their future but at the same time prepare for the inevitable and give them a safe haven when everything turns ugly!

One of the best books I've read in a long time because I too am fascinated by generational differences and the book really digs deep on what the potential causes are of these differences and how that actually creates this cycle over time. It's quite a fascinating theory and a good read.

But if the views continue to be as low as they have been, I'll move to something more appealing that will pull people in. I'm simply not doing this for my health, it's a waste of energy to keep doing something people don't want to watch. I keep asking for shares, likes, and support. But it generally goes in one ear and right out the other. So it'll push me to make different content!

My wife and I live in a small city, downtown near a southern university campus area and observe, sorry to say, the self-centered behavior of college students, graduates to be, of the current generations. My only answer is, who parented them and created them to be self-indulgent babies in adult bodies and brain-dead craniums? Guess who? The foundations of these young folks are built in progressive thought which discounts being responsible, contributing members of our society in a nation, even with its hypocrisy, some solid foundational principles.
