Yes. We are too old. [smug]

They hadn't even invented the hole in the wall money machine when we were setting up, leave alone the credit card.

It's such a contrasting view of Baby Boomers to the one which sees them as having worked hard all their lives and paid into the system and thus being entitled to certain benefits.

I too am exempt having found out recently I am a few years too old to be counted as a Baby Boomer grin

I think it's true. I feel sorry for this generation growing up now.

Though they probably will be as bad.

Oh, not again! Am I immune from these accusations? I was born at the beginning of the War, not after it. hmm

I see there is a prog on this evening (Born Bankrupt Sky News 7.30) which looks at whether today's children 'are going to spend the rest of their lives paying for the mess left by baby boomers who spent irresponsibly and expected those in power to do the same' (quoted from Times tv guide).
