It's probably not fair for me to say all boomers were born with a money printer in their mouths.

But a LOT of them were.

State college with no tuition, cash paid for a home in early 20s, ride the wave up and tap that sweet home equity if things ever got tight.

Even the war they had, gruesome as it was, was fought against ANOTHER country rather than right here at home for the past 24 years since the USA PATRIOT Act.

My uncle was a mechanic, and both owned his own large house with no mortgage in Connecticut AND a country club membership. Nuff said.
