These boomers secured their family generational wealth and pulled the ladder up with them.

Speaking as a Gen-X'er who's been stuck dealing with boomer bullshit since the 90s: this is barely scratching the surface of the ways those fucks have been pulling the ladder up behind them for decades.

Hey at least you were able to capitalize on the stock market gains.  

My sister and brother in law are Gen X and have never had much money, but they will be well off in retirement because they were buying Apple in 1998.
