Boomers wanted to help their kids. Instead, they’re getting resentment

It’s time to challenge the traditional wisdom about it Children’s childrenand Millennium generation and General Z. At the risk of a little conspiracy (I already had four cups of coffee), you will persuade many major headlines that these groups of generations are closed in an epic battle of Good for evilWhether this is the liberal weakest against the wealthy conservatives, or Confrontation Between the traditional and traditional generation and the spoiled and unrealistic Niplios.

But like all kinds of tribal disagreement, things are not black and white in most Americans daily experiences. As I wrote earlier, new visions from Savings.com show that the births are largely sympathetic to the financial ordeal of the younger Americans, and they rarely look at the offspring of the millennium or General Z as lazy or eligible, and are often ready to help their adult children – completely generously – covering financial difficulties and ends.

In this piece, though, I did not reach the real resentment between generations – especially the anger felt by the millennial generation and Gen Zers towards the births. After all, how can there be tension when they are locked in a more intimate financial relationship than any modern generation? The millennial generation and Gen Zers are currently directly associated with the previous Boomers’ gains; At the same time, they depend more on their parents than any other generation. The social, economic and psychological cocktail, as experts, may be calculated as a kind of baked resentment against older generations-but when you think about things from their point of view, it may be understandable.

There is no doubt that the generation of the millennium and General Zires is in the right track to spend what is supposed to be a major work for a person and gets years in an economic environment and a very volatile working force, with flat profits and strategy housing prices. Average family income barely It increased since 2000, according to the US Treasury, as it increased by 15 % compared to that period compared to 65 % of the housing. If you are able to withstand the costs of a house in the early first decade of the twentieth century, you have become “relative rich”, ” Albert CesThe faculty director told the Urban Economy Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the salon. “But people who come to the economy do not have this wealth, and they have to save more hard and work more seriously to get there.”

Meanwhile, when the floors were in the twenties, thirties and forties Totally It was more likely to possess their homes, and a long -term wealth gathered more than most of the youngest Americans. This alone will be enough for younger Americans to feel that they are entitled to obtain their parents’ profits. But the basic basics make things more attached. Like Sean Eleng Put it for Vox In 2019, he described the basic argument behind Bruce Gibeni’s book 2017 “A generation of Sociopaths: How to betray the child’s children America“Boomers” committed “looting of generations”, playing the nation’s economy, reducing their taxes over and over again, financing two wars with a deficit, ignoring climate change, presiding over the death of the essence of manufacturing in America, and leaving future generations to clean the chaos they created.

It is a strong economic fog for mobility, and younger Americans can refer to the polluted in a formation. Add to the framing of the younger newborns to the younger Americans as more fragile than their most traditional ancestors and hard work devices – not to say anything about dozens of newborns who do it, honestly, they believe that the millennial generation and General Zires are already carrying Brasts – and it is difficult to deny that such a recipe would create anything else, and bitterness.

The youngest Americans “often feel that” their parents “ignore” their very real financial challenges, and feel that their parents cannot “communicate with the fact that their lives are not a bed of roses,” Dr. Michael KaneTell a psychiatrist specializing in family medicine, the salon in the response of the e -mail to survey in Savings.com.

He added: “This shift in the thought is revolutionary, and it turns the dynamics of the current parents and children.” It provides “increasing emotional and financial pressure that has not been seen in previous generations.”

Lindsey Brian BodinA financial therapist, PodCaster and author of the book “The Financial Coattyty Solution”, said that younger Americans do not necessarily do not necessarily from their parents, or newborns on a larger scale, because of financial security. She said: “It is more than thwarting the unwillingness to say their parents,” Yes, things are different. ”

Melissa CoxA certified financial plan in his future wealth in Dallas said that younger Americans “often look at the relative financial comfort of their parents and thinking,” Why is it more difficult for me when I followed the rules? ”

She said, “It creates this quiet storm of guilt, pressure and unannounced expectations.” “The Gulf can cause frustration and struggle, complicating family relations and increasing the difficulty of free and healthy communication” about money, as Ken said.

To this end, Brian Budin stressed the importance of financial talks despite the perhaps more therapeutic perspective than making the main current.

She said: “We are thinking about the way the brain works – if we get something mysterious, unconfirmed or unclear, our brain fills the gaps when it was missing, and fills our minds in a negative way.” “Therefore, even if it is worried about a financial conversation with another person, being a truly clear person prevents someone else from filling the gaps with something incorrect, or worse than expected.”

She said: “Take these open and sincere talks is really related to honoring the dignity and respect of this relationship.” “The presence of this clarity is very strong, and I think this also helps to contact comprehensive tension and resentment.”
