We've all been there. Boomer family members going on huge alcohol-fueled tirades at birthday parties on how easy young people have it, how you need to stop being entitled and "just get a job lol," mocking millennials for having too much debt, not wanting to get married and to buy a home, etc. etc,

What are your personal experiences with boomers and how do you deal with them in your daily life?

when they talk about information accessibility
>mocking millennials for having too much debt
non in my family has dept, not even uncles and aunts, some are quite radicals when talking about taking loans and whole interest rate formula.
>not wanting to get married and to buy a home
when they themselves read news and watch tv they see at what conditions are young man treated and how gold digger culture showed in media is transforming in real life situations, they are more and more concerned about my life partner background and what she is in the first place.
There is forming this new class of middle age woman 35-40 yo, where after consuming media, just goes rampage leaving husbands, divorcing, getting roof and most of valuables. This trend if very noticeable in that age group.
You ladies just suck out money from you while you have them and you are quite stupid.
Guess whats the first move they will do after you introduce her to family? Once you will leave the room they will jump into her social media to look at how stupid she is.
I usually never show quick fucks to them.
anyway, you boomers are shit.

>unemployment is down under Trump. It should be easy to get a job!

>what do you mean you can only get a job paying $13 an hour. I didn't spend over $100k on education for you to have such a crappy job. Why aren't you applying for a well paying job?

>why would you rather work in a call center than doing process improvement for a fortune 500 company? You must be lazy, there must be something wrong with you

My dad works for a global company and sees firsthand how fucked their hiring practices and compensation packages are. He's 100% on my side.

I remember boomer teachers in elementary school would tell us all that you would make $1 million dollars more with a degree than without it. Fuck boomers man.
