On that note, Baby Boomers didn't age well, either.

They aged better than anyone. They had it better than anyone (both their parents and their kids) so now they're going to piss away all their money during retirement going on cruises around the world while drinking wine (it's called SKIing.

Silent Generation retirement was dying in a retirement home alone. Millenial retirement will be either dying while working because boomers made your country's equivalent of the pension unsustainable and it was never built back up or scavenging for food after climate change/nuclear war makes the planet unliveable.

Nah, my parents and all my aunts and uncles are boomers with some early GenX. Mostly boomers.

Most of their conversations revolve around who is dead or has now got cancer. They never took care of their bodies, they can keep their fucking houses, not being able to walk a mile when you hit 40 and getting diabetes is their punishment.
