For me the best thing is to return to evergreen traits. Patience, discipline, irony, humor, moderated distrust of the other, loyalty to the family. I, for one, am not planning on setting his life up such that he has a good chance of going to an Ivy League school.

This is essentially what I’m doing as well. Most of my principles are very much in line with my grandfathers and very much out of line with my fathers.

Ya, same, I love my father to death and thereafter but his entire worldview is basically the 60/40 portfolio. My grandfather was an old school Sicilian. I wish he was alive to meet his grandson and hear about bitcoin. He was an oil investor. He’d get it.

Ditto. My grandfather would have been all about bitcoin. My father was basically cucked by the world. I think a lot of their generation was.

Symptom of really easy free money times. I’m grateful for coming of age in the post 911 GFC cope-VID hysteria moment.

People like to call them boomers, but I think the operative word in the name of their generation is "baby."
