This is speaking generally about a large group of people. Some did this. Some didn't.
My parents are boomers. They raised four kids, were financially in the shits for most of that time. We were not well off, my da worked constantly and ma did paid work when she could (she was a busy housewife). They are merely comfortable now, but by no means are they flush with cash. They don't own a home, they still rent.
We need to stop this absolutely divisive nonsense. It keeps us divided and not a threat.
Ya, wonder why ya'll weren't well off. I don't want to offend you or anything but there is a difference between being poor back then and poor now. You would be homeless on your parents income today, even with inflation. You wouldn't be able to support rent and four kids now on the same salary.
