Lucky for me my parents were both "I didn't save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I'm older", so I don't have to suffer through this.

You'd be completely wrong. In my case.

How dare they raise you and then spend their own money?!

I would argue that the stereotype is that most Boomer parents did not actually do much "raising." They had kids out of some sense of obligation and then kept on focusing on themselves.

Boomers, as a cohort, are incredibly narcissistic and obstinate.

That said, I don't particularly care about an inheritance; I want my Dad to live as long as he can and be happy and healthy.

Gen X and especially millennials are the first ones to be mostly raised by two working parents. We've been fucked since we left the womb.

Boomers: Stay at home moms were the norm.

Before that, huge families and "it takes a village"

Nowadays, it takes three jobs to be able to afford daycare.

Mine didn't. Gave it all to my golden child sister.

I want my parents to enjoy what they've earned and to have enough money to handle expenses of aging. I'm an anti natalist but I don't fault then for doing something that was expected by everyone at the time which was having kids, and they really did their best. I have dedicated my life to gerontology and helping the aging population. If humanity is going extinct, let's go out with compassion.
