    If you're under 30, bad luck. You're screwed



    Bad luck. The baby boomer generation have stolen your future.

    If you?re under 30, old people have stolen your future. And what?s worse, you let them do it.

    This sounds like a sweeping generalisation. And, of course, we could argue over the details. But, bold and unshaded though this statement is, it?s pretty much true. On one hand there has been a huge intergenerational transfer of wealth upwards.

    And, on the other, the people who are have been the beneficiaries of this transfer have left unpaid bills all over the shop. So yes, Philip Larkin was right: your parents did f?k you up. As for how you let them, we?ll come to that.

    In a nutshell, they?ve shafted you financially. It?s a depressingly familiar list: property, pensions, the NHS, further education, student debt, the national debt and so on.

    They built a giant, towering pyramid scheme to ensure they had lovely lives and they?re now spending their gold-plated pensions on exotic holidays; the boom in the cruise industry over the last decade is no accident.

      It's all the Tories fault of course. Them and their posh-boy banking and investment sector cronies.

      They've comprehensively screwed the younger generation in every available orifice.
      He who laughs last probably didn't get the joke.

                    In a nutshell, they’ve shafted you financially. It’s a depressingly familiar list: property, pensions, the NHS, further education, student debt, the national debt and so on.

                    They built a giant, towering pyramid scheme to ensure they had lovely lives and they’re now spending their gold-plated pensions on exotic holidays; the boom in the cruise industry over the last decade is no accident.
                    They quoted it incorrectly. The MP's, bankers and investors screwed everyone, not just the next generation.
