They're the generation that went through life pampered on easy mode (socially & domestically speaking), pulled up the ladder behind them, and then gets annoyed when younger generations point out they literally can't just do it similar how to boomers did because it's just not feasible in modern times.
The average boomer literally cannot naturally understand or comprehend how difficult it is for younger generations to survive because they think back to how they paid their way through college with a part-time summer job and got a house on a single income and it just doesn't click. Don't get me wrong, they can read, research, and come to conclusions that give them an educated understanding, but speaking as a generalized whether or not their generation can understand what it's like naturally, they can't.
In contrast, Mills, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha can better relate because things only get worse as time goes on and those generations have felt it to some degree so they can actually understand having to live with multiple roommates while you work multiple jobs just to rent an apartment in a major city or the necessitation of having a dual income for a family to survive.
Nail on the fucking head right here.
