I think a lot of the problem is that Boomer parents tend to not see their adult children as adults. They assume they're the same person at 30 that they were at 16, so they assume they're still blowing their money in stupid shit and flipping burgers part time somewhere. They refuse to accept that their adult children work more hours than they ever did, make more money they ever did, spend less, and are still struggling.
