No thank you... I'm afraid my hubby of 31 years wouldn't appreciate it... besides.. you being born in 70 precludes you from being the "right" generation....

Where are those manufacturing jobs now? No where, that's where.
No generation has it good.
You suck it up and move on.
What do you expect... even though he's not that much younger than me... growing up as a teenager in the late 80's probably had that affect. LOL. Imagining having to grow up with Madonna on the radio and Family Ties on the TV.... Wow... that must have been rough! Yea... we boomers had it so easy!
Then everyone had best be advised to keep an eye on the currrent clique of thieves within the Beltway. If Obama is re-elected, loook for inflation to go through the roof as his gang runs the printing press to "monetize" his huge deficits. Thosse retirees who've been suckrered into buying annuities are likely to be the hardest hit.
And there you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid....
Do you Obama slammers ever actually think about what you say before you say it? Do you ever consider whether the context of what you are saying applies to the situation?

Nobody is whining... Every generation (and your about as close to us boomers as it can get!) has hardships... no one more than the other. Give yourself another few years and when you get to 50 (and the closer it gets..the more you'll look!) you'll see that your perspective changes a lot. Each decade you'll become a little more conservative and set in your ways. Those things you used to do will hurt just a little more each day. I recently went to an amusement park with some friends... as usual, I was the first on the thrill rides. Ugh... What used to be EASY... now hurts!! I used to love to drive @ night... now... not so much. I used to be a lot more liberal... now... not so much. I used to ***** about the "old folks" in my way... now, I'm looking forward to AARP discounts, bouncing grandchildren on my knee, and knowing that I haven't hurt anyone, didn't steal from anyone, and would like to know that I can at least survive financially in my golden years...
I hope for you that you get there... you'll see... we all get older...and no matter how hard you try... you can't stop it.... in another 15 years or so the next generation will be bitching about YOU....

Baby boomers earnEd their way. Many died in vietnAm many were born with nothing. We marched for civil rights . We used the opportunity this country gives, some made it some did not . Each generation will have some make it and some not. We can argue ideology but America still has opportunities .
every person I know over 50 does nothing but whine...maybe it's jus the circle I'm in...but sometimes I run into other circles and it's the same...hmmmm
