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.

@LordShadowfire a lot of us are retiring, some of us early. My birth year is the last boomer. Social Security is not fraud. The fraud is paying out to dead people, illegal immigrants, ect.

Unfortunately, there are people who have to work well into their golden years and struggle, but this happens with every generation. People are living longer.

There may not be traditional social security as we know it today, but there will be something different for you guys

@missyann Of course it's not fraud, but Elon pretends it is so he can steal it from you.
