@joey_zozo I live in Upstate New York, and I'm starting to get impression that the boomers here are mostly the ones that remained after the money-hungry self-absorbed ones left for the West Coast and red states.

@joey_zozo Also, my parents are boomers by age, but they are compassionate people who chose lower paying generalist positions in medicine to help more people more effectively. They made money by investing, saving, and not spending lavishly or needlessly as other people in their income bracket would. They saved up for their kids' college from the moment they were born, advocated for their children when necessary but did not helicopter parent, and overall while not perfect did a still-excellent job of parenting.

Needless to say, "Not all boomers" in the normally encountered sarcastic sense isn't a sentiment I agree with.
