"No you don’t. You don’t have to pay your parents debts. Not sure what “debt” you are referring to?"

I can think of lots of debts that boomers incurred that will need to be paid (or absorbed) by subsequent generations.

- A vietnam war whose costs changed our economy and lead to the end of the dollars convertibility.

- A transition to urban life without investment in public transportation leading to a half century of malinvestment and disjointed transport infrastructure.

- Failure to invest the time and thought into learning how to eat and walk when you don't live on the farm anymore. Three square meals a day combined with driving everywhere has lead to an obesity and diabetic crisis.

None of that is debt. You didn’t pay anything for the Vietnam war, and I’m not sure what you’re trying to say about urbanization and driving, but it has nothing to do with debt.
