At the ripe age of 62. Some highlights:
-Owns an awesome 70 inch TV, but is too cheap to buy the HD package on DirecTV.
-Is absolutely shocked about the election results, and the impending "fiscal cliff" debate.
-He thinks I earn too much money for a person under the age of 30.
-Believes television shows such as Hardcore Pawn and Storage Wars are 100% real and unscripted.
-Is undoubtedly a millionaire in terms of assets owned, but is still worried about his retirement and having enough to survive.This is coming from a guy who has in the past acted much younger than his age. I'm interested, are all Baby Boomers you know beginning to become senile as well now? I'm thinking that its probably time to start stripping their power before they completely allow everything to go to shit.

Got drafted and went to war. Worked 37 years paid property taxes so other peoples kids could go to school. Get 1100 dollars social security and never reached the point of not paying fica. I have small pension funded mostly by me. So tell me, great karnac, where I can sign up for those entitlements? You're a moron.
One more thing. One day you will reach the point I'm at and sooner than you think. That is a measure of satisfaction for me.

You grew up in the longest period of economic expansion in history. You were the happy inhabitants of a consumer wonderland. You could demand - and receive - a stable, middle-class wage, often without the benefits of a college education. Your pensions, even if only partially funded by your employer, were guaranteed. You borrowed and you borrowed and you borrowed, driving up the cost of housing such that the dream of home ownership is simply out of reach for many educated people of my generation. You will live into your 90s, bleed social security dry, resist any attempts to reform the system, and happily let the rest of us continue to pay into the program only to leave us with a steaming bag of shit when you finally do shuffle off. You are the first generation to cut taxes in a time of war. Your demands have left us with an exploded national debt, and your politics are petty and mean. You voted for Reagan and told us that greed was good. You down Viagra by the fistful and yet scream that gay people are the ones with the perversion.
You are kudzu. You are world-historical locusts. You swarmed the wheat, lovingly admired the sound of your wings as they beat against the stalk, and then moved on to the next field once the crops were dead. The road rose up to meet you, and you tore up the asphalt doing donuts, all the while bitching, moaning, and complaining.
This all doesn't describe you personally? Great. I'm glad to hear it. But it does describe many folks of your age. And the net result is that most people under 40 know with a dead certainty that the future will be worse than the past. And as far as I can tell, THAT kind of pessimism is unique in all of American history.
