Thoughts from a Booomer
I just finished my first reading of this book. Thankfully my kindle copy allows me to highlight sections for further study and cross referencing. I am a Boomer having been born in April of 1945, until lately I considered myself a War Baby and not a boomer, however, I now recognize that I am 100% a product of the Boomer generation. I would be gladdened to be able to say that the Boomer description does not fit me, however, just as now individual snowflake feels responsible for the avalanche, I know that I am part of the problem. I grew up in a family where my parents were not profligate with money and only used a credit card to maintain a credit rating, faithfully paying back without interest. They never purchased a car on credit, other than personal loans from the bank for 30 days same as cash. Never pay a restaurant bill with credit for when the bill comes due the food is already eaten. These lessons were instilled by example and I find that I still do my best to keep to them. If you don't have the cash to buy something you probably don't need it still is my operating sense. I am, I admit slightly atypical for my generation, but I do see all that the author has pointed out as Boomer actions. I would give the author my thanks for giving voice to so many ideas and concepts that I have been bothered with my generation. Now that I have completed my Kindle experience, I am preparing to purchase a hard copy so I can pass this volume around to others to share these insights. David P Curtis
