Not from
this boomer (and DW)
... Penniless? I think not...
Personally, I don't like the general association of boomers with negative expressions on what is wrong with the world.
Heck, if it wasen't for "the greatest generation", we boomers would not be here (blame our existance on them
).
As for me? I didn't spend my time demonstrating (I served in Nam), nor was part of the "educational elite" (college was not in my future, due to the "expectations" of my parents to support them in their lifestyle).
Please don't paint all boomers with a broad brush. Heck, in August '69 when Woodstock was held, I was dodging incoming 122MM rockets.
Sorry - I get upset when I see the term "boomers" in a negative manner....
