I had a hard but enjoyable life, as did my wife looking after the kids while I worked all around the world. I earned every penny of my pensions before Gordon Brown raided and took most of it.

I dare you to suggest an average British couple at this moment, to have a wife looking after the Kids as a decent option. Just about any bank would laugh at them.
 
I didn’t cause a financial crash. I owe money to no one and have money in the bank. It was those who couldn’t repay debt that caused the crash. You can’t have it all ways. Either we are all loaded in which case we didn’t cause the crash or we are not......

That last comment makes no sense.
So you’re happy for that generation/your generation to take credit for apparently making this country what it is but won’t take any of the blame for issues caused - you can’t have both.

I have created no debt. I have no debt. I do not owe a single penny to anyone. Even the tax man owes me money. I paid off all of my children’s university fees and loans, and ensured that my children have no debt. I owe an apology to no one.

Those in debt because they want new TV’s computers, cars, holidays or whatever should look in a mirror and stop blaming everybody else......

Life is tough, especially from 25-45 for those with a family. But don’t seek to put the blame on a previous generation, because you couldn’t be further from the truth......

You ‘earned every penny’ with a massive helping hand from the state and a financial situation that was unsustainable.
If you’ve had a mortgage, you’ve had debt, and that whole situation is completely different now and you will have befitted massively.
The generation above needs to accept they lived in a golden time that has caused massive issues for the generation below. A selfish generation that lived on debt.
 
What an offensive post this is. To make such a sweeping statement about a whole generation is, apart from being largely untrue, incredibly disrespectful.
,
I don't know your own circumstances, but I do know that the vast majority of the "baby boomer" generation will now be grand parents and even great grand parents. Many of them will have worked hard all their lives and been totally dedicated to their children and grandchildren. Many sacrifices, financial and personal, will have been made to improve the lives of the current younger generations.

I can only hope that the majority appreciate this and don't have the same selfish attitude as you obviously do.

At what point did I say baby boomers were crap parents that didn't work hard?

If you have kids, they have to be looked after. Either one partner does it or someone has to be paid to do it. Paying someone else is how the treadmill begins.


'he's as Irish as I am'

@peteblue have you been hanging around Westminster today?


No, but I’m spot on though.......

And you need to understand that you haven’t a clue....

We didn’t cause debt issues, you did......l
 
You keep rolling out this truism, but providing absolutely nothing to substantiate it.

Explain to me, how life is better now than it was 20 years ago?

All of the cars on the road tend to be only a few years old, twenty years ago they were 10+ years old. Holidays are now cheap. Food is cheap. Clothes are cheap. Outside of London, even the houses are cheap (cue howls of rage). Jobs are plentiful, unemployment is at its lowest. Technology provides you with every known convenience.

So let me ask you, what was so good twenty years ago that isn’t available now, a nice list will do...

Housing prices? Better social housing (maybe add in a few more years)?
