A letter to the Boomer generation in light of the current economic crisis

Dear Boomers,

I heard your retirement funds have taken a bit of a hit. I would like to offer some advice :

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps; hard work pays off.

Stop buying so much avocado toast and fancy lattes.

Get an entry level job to get your foot in the door.

Walk into some stores and hand them your resume.

Live within your means, cut out the fancy stuff.

Save every penny, put it in a savings account and watch it grow.

Quit wasting money on all those subscription services.

Just walk into your bosses office and ask for a raise.

Pack a lunch, you don't need to eat out.

Put $20 a week in a jar, you'll be surprised how fast it adds up.

Hope this helps.

Yours sincerely,

Each following generation that you've fuсked over.

Hey, that’s how we lived to get where we are and we know that somehow we are going to survive. We have survived, recession, and then turned around and spoiled our children and grandchildren That was our mistake.

@missyann @oldguy73 Actually, you people survived by pulling the ladder up behind you, so that those strategies no longer work. But thanks for playing.
