The funny thing about Boomers is that their parents gave them everything, then they turn around and give their own kids nothing while calling them spoiled.

My grandparents helped my parents buy a farm, gifted them a serious chunk of change to buy equipment, and personally helped them build the outbuildings. (Edit: Thinking about this, there was a ten year period where I didn't see these grandparents because of some stupid fight; imagine getting all that and then cutting your parents off from their grandkids?)

When I was their age, and just starting to have kids, they asked me to help them build a rental property that they could make money on. Refused to babysit as well, while I was working. I didn't see a penny of the money they made. Oh, they also refused to help in anyway with me making a downpayment on my own house because "renting is a good deal".

Their parents not only paid for them to go to university, they paid for all the grandchildren to go to university. My parents took the money intended for me, invested it in fixed term bonds, and took out a government student loan intended to help poor families so they could pay the load back immediately when I finished school (at 0% interest) and pocket the bond yield; I never saw a penny of that either.

My first job was working for my dad, at 12, so he could take advantage of some tax loophole.

I never expected to be handed everything but hearing Boomers leave their kids high and dry to "teach them responsibility", when their parents did everything to set them up for life, makes me physically sick.
