I'm a fan of tongue in cheek commentary. I'm apt to use that approach myself.
Boomers cannot afford to drop dead at this point. Many of us are busy taking care of our aged parents who, due to the advent of so many wonder drugs, are staying alive, independent, grumpy, and uncooperative in unprecedented numbers. After we finish taking care of Mom and Dad at their fully paid for house, parking their fully paid for car in the garage and making sure all is well, we head home to find our 25 year old slob of a kid lying on the sofa texting their friends. It's okay, though. They can still be included on our health insurance at no small cost to us. So in case they should get stressed out about not being able to find a job paying them what they have been led to believe they're worth, they can go see a Doc about how stressed out they are.
FTR, my kids aren't like that. They're grown, married, and making a good deal of money. Of course, as the offspring of Boomers, they've been brought up in a semi-privileged world and understand the NEED to make money. LOL.
Just kidding. Well, sort of. I am a Boomer and I can only dream about retiring. Maybe I will just drop dead so that someone else can do what I'm doing. Hanging on to my job, paying my bills, desperately trying to save more money since my 401K got KILLED in '08, and staring down the 30 somethings who think they deserve my job.
Hell, from where I'm sitting, Bob Dylan really didn't matter. Ever.
