I agree with you petallus.
Although I don't like the baby-boomer bashing, I think as a generation we have been more fortunate than our parents and our children and our grandchildren are likely to be.
I count my blessings.

'Sod the young'? I don't think so. I have four GSs. I worry about how our young are going to manage and God knows what the retirement age will be for them, in their seventies probably.

Not at all Janeains next you'll be telling her to 'calm down dear' . She's spot on and it's very worrying.

Yes just read the article, got to agree with her.

Well written and every word so true.

Spot on, Janet.Thank you, KatyK

Goes against the grain but I have to agree with much of what she says.

Go Janet! When do we march!

So do I!

Yes, absolutely I agreed with her

Has anyone read this article in today's Daily Mail? Never thought I would agree with JSP but I do on many of the points she raises here.
