Okay, You Millennials, Okay You Boomers-- Part 1 Are Boomers Wrecking Social Security?

From the November 30, 2019, ListVerse  "10 studies proving everything you believe about Millennials and Boomers Is Wrong" by Anthony Sfarra.

First to clarify: Boomers are those born between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s.  Millennials were born between the early 1980s and either the mid-1990s or early 2000s depending upon who you believe.

These are based on recent studies.  You can get more information by going to the site.

10.  Baby Boomers aren't killing Social Security.

9.  Millennials read just as much as older generations.  (Books)

8.  Baby Boomers have embraced technology too.

Seven Ways the Beatles Changed Boomer Childhood

Terri Hemmert, our Beatle enthusiast here in Chicago on WXRT, 93.1 FM, who has a show on Sundays from 8-10 am called Breakfast With the Beatles found this bit of information and passed it on to us.

1.  The Beatles made music a necessity.  (It sure did for me.  It had a huge impact on my life.)

2.  It displaced traditional childhood past times.  Like toys.  (Well, not really in my case.)

3.  The youngest Beatle fans started continually hanging out with older ones.  (Not me.)

4.  Children became aware of appearance and wanted to look cool.  (I didn't dare cross my parents in this situation.)

5.  They displaced traditional male role models.  (Like I said, I would not dare cross my dad.)

6.  Children became consumers when they became fans.  (To an extent.  I didn't have much money and my dad thought records were a waste of money. I didn't buy my first 45s until 1965, and even then, on the sly.)

7.  They created global and generational consciousness in younger boomers.  (There was no doubt but the Beatles were OUR music, not our parents.)

The "Baby Boomers" Have Arrived

Well, it had to happen. We are getting so much older these days. And that includes my group, the so-called "Baby Boomers."

Our first member, Kathleen Casey-Kirschling, applied for Social Security benefits on October 15th. She is regarded as being the "first" Baby Boomer, being born one second after midnight on January 1, 1946. It is estimated that 10,000 people a day will become eligible for benefits in the next two decades.

Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. This includes myself and Liz. We were both born in 1951.

Bad news, though. It is expected that the Social Security System will be broke by if left alone by 2041.

Good news for everyone else, however. Since we were both teachers in Illinois and covered by a separate retirement system, we will probably never get any money from Social Security.
