Please just stop with the thinking you are the only generation that has been or is being screwed. I can assure you, most boomers are not retiring “very well off”.

$400,000, the average price of a home these days, is not a lot of money to live on when one or both might end up needing assisted living. My mother-in-law burned through half that in the last nine months of her life despite having incredible insurance and government pension. Now that is a screwing.
