So just because your mother was on the extreme poor end of the spectrum doesn’t mean anything. My parents are boomers that grew up in the rubble of postwar Korea. Came here unable to speak English my mom worked in sweatshops and my father did manual labor.
They currently own a nice home collect social security and raised 2 kids on mainly my dad’s single income as a construction worker.
If my dirt poor parents who couldn’t speak English, had no education could become upper middle class just working hard there is absolutely no excuse for boomers that grew up here.
The opportunity afforded to their generation is now gone. Good luck buying a home or raising 2 kids on a single construction worker income today.
Already raised 4 kids and my oldest in in his 30s. We needed 2 incomes the entire time. Clinton screwed us with taxes. Ghwb screwd us with taxes, Obama did it on and on. The idea the economy was good is a lie. Just look at the concentration of wealth, some may be boomers but its in the hands of few. And millennial couldn't afford those houses in the best of economies.
So your answer is…
My parents had a shittier childhood, then your parents.
My parents are better than your parents
Yay!
This is how we lose!
