They’re too old to rock and roll, too young to … ruin Social Security. Despite the scaremongers’ attempts to incite generational war, people born between 1946 and 1964 are not going to destroy the Social Security system. The Baby Boom cohort isn’t going to be a crippling financial burden for Generation X, Generation Y, Generation XYY, or any other generation. It may be true that their descendants will be forced to listen to their greatest hits until the sun goes supernova (more cowbell, please!), but economically there’s nothing to worry about.
Since I’m one of the dreaded boomers myself I guess I can’t be considered objective, so don’t take my word for it. Ask an actuary.
