Then you don't really "know" boomers. First, there are tax expenses on the pension/401k/Soc Sec. Rent or homeowner maintenance/taxes/insurance are huge, even without a mortgage. Transportation--how do they get to the eat-out place? Medicare does not cover dental or vision, and you can usually expect several crowns/root canals and eye cataracts during this period. Electric/natural gas/internet utilities, even water and trash collection, are all rising faster than inflation. Add in possible veterinary bills, and financial aid to adult children who need it, and you have plenty of expenses.

>Anyone of retirement age right now that is not doing well in America REALLY fucked up in life.

No need to explain how completely wrong and ignorant this assessment is.
