A traditional generational conflict usually looks like this, the older generation says “we had it hard too” the younger generation says “you don’t understand our world”. That’s normal, it happens every generation.

That’s not what’s going on with boomers and millennials.

The friction between boomers and millennials is different than the average inter-generational conflict.

Because boomers betrayed millennials.

I believe the solution is the following:

You solve it with your parents/grandparents. If every milennial solves it with their attached boomer counterpart, as millennials know how to deal with hard problems, it will solve most issues.

I dealt with my parents and grandparents myself. Talked everything through with them around 15 years ago. Got all my share from their wealth when the time came, cascading properly, through parents who cascaded further the shares I would get from them. With realtively even between grandkids and kids.

They knew the drill, we knew the drill. My greatest generation and boomer frictions are solved financially and respect-wise, many years ago.

What else could I ask for? I hope you guys will have that sorted for yourselves too!

Exactly. We (me and my wife) solved it with my parents and parents of my wife. It's not generational problem, it's family problem. Always was, always will be.

A lot of Boomers have no kids and just live off of other people's kids. Nearly ¼.

That was the actual betrayal. Set up a system based upon transfers from children to their parents and then skip having children.

If you have no kids, you are paying for services when you get older. Services that get VERY expensive, than otherwise are offered to you by your kids. All younger generations need is to offer those services, have high prices and take their money. At the end, it can cost them way more than having kids and service can be way worse than one offered by a kids in decent family.

Not having kids is not winning it's loosing.
