What a useless article. It doesn't even account for inflation. Is it designed to make boomers feel good about having to be a wal-mart greeter to survive?
Perhaps they are "bored" in retirement because even after a lifetime of labor there isn't enough money left to do anything but sit and watch tv?
I've lost count of how many boomers I've heard say "I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't have to work". Fuck that generation. They had a chance for everything and said "whatever!" And just did nothing instead.
Literally heard a group of boomers talking over coffee the other day. One goes " weird we haven't had snow, I guess it could be because of global warming" then another goes "yeah but not like we need to care!" Then they all had a big laugh about it....
Hey, when You're part of the hip / cool club😎 👍 You can totally do that
/s
Thx for the downvotes. Always welcome 🤗 / appreciated
More like the "oww my hip!" Club 🤣
😂 true tho
They're the same flavor fucked as us. I don't hate them for not knowing what to do with themselves without working. I hate the meat grinder we're in
First, their 'i love work' attitude is both taught from society (look at this article for example) and straight up cope. Not just that; their lives like our lives have been consumed by work and the business of living. I too have had precious little time and energy to spare on developing ourselves outside it.
In a country like US there should never be a shortage of jobs. And all jobs should pay a living. Also provide many opportunities to climb the ladder. There should not be a shortage on American Dream basically.
