The Lucky Few
Wondering how many of us belong to the "Lucky Few"... the generation before the Boomers... and born between 1929 and 1945.

Would you agree with the "Lucky" part, and if so, why?

I guess I am one. My parents lived through the Depression, and as a result were extremely frugal, which was passed to me.


I was too young to serve in WW2 and Korea, and too old for Vietnam.
