Nobody here cares about what a boomer thinks. Our thoughts, if they were ever relevant, are outdated. One of the many lessons I’ve learned here.I’m a boomer and there’s a lot of truth in that piece. Look no farther than the aging surf community and you will see that a lot of those poor fellas (and ladies) are on hard times.There’s a whole crew in California that lived with parents, that had it all planned out. Then burned through their inheritance to pay-expenses as their parents got old. Quite a lot of my current business dealings are with silent generation/boomers so if you guys want some insight just ask.
Even if ss is kept afloat, if you’re looking for more than a van down by the river ss better make up a maximum of 25% of your income when you retire.
