[quote:Anonymous Coward 72572916:MV8zODIyMzYxXzY4NzA1ODI5XzM3NjA0QTc2] the greatest generation would be saddened at what the boomers did, but would also tell the millenials to quit bitching and to pull yourself up by the boot straps and make ends meet. bitching and complaining and finger pointing wont solve anything. be an example of the solution yourself. the silent generation would have said the same thing. my grandmother raised me, who was of the silent generation and her mom helped, my great grandmother of the greatest generation. they didnt complain, they just lived life and made due with what they had. i remember my great grandma saving anything and everything. alluminum foil. wax wrappers from cereal boxes. rubber bands. ink pens. empty cottage cheese bowls, and had extra everything. she said you never know when youll need it. dont trust the government and never put money in the bank. she never took out loans or had credit cards. this is how millenials will have to live to get by. simple fact. quit bitching and move on. tgere is more to life than material possesions.

Beset by big college loans, inheriting two wars, and facing an uncertain future of work, a majority of millennials say baby boomers have made things worse for them — and a lot of boomers agree, according to a new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll.
Why it matters: If it persists, the generational divide could turn into political rivalry as the generations compete for limited tax dollars — millennials seeking government help as automation takes hold, and boomers insisting on promised levels of Social Security and Medicare.

The poll found that 51% of millennials (18- to 34-year-olds) blame boomers (54- to 69-year-olds) for making things worse for their generation. Just 13% said boomers had improved things. Generation X wasn't pleased with the boomers, either.
Boomers were split on the issue: 30% said policies created by their generation had made things worse, 32% said they had made things better, and 34% that they had done neither.
