8 Things Your Boomer Parents Could Afford That You Can’t

Many of us have probably been subjected to the judgement of our Baby Boomer parents, who wonder why younger generations are facing more debt and financial troubles. I won’t defend the spendthrift ways of Millennials and Gen-Xers, but the truth of the matter is that many things are simply more expensive now than they used to be. Baby Boomers — those born between 1946 and 1964 — paid less for many of the things considered essential now. Here are eight things that our Baby Boomer paren
