Y’know the interesting thing is, I’ve never had a poor old person talk condescendingly to me about economic prospects. The elderly widow taking public transit, counting their coupons, and desperately trying to stretch their dead husband’s pension check has never lectured me about pulling myself up by my boot-straps. Similarly, I’ve never called any of these people a Boomer pejoratively. To me, the stereotype of a Boomer has very little to do with age, and everything to do with socioeconomic status, and I absolutely will keep insulting the Boomer fucks that pulled the ladder up behind them.
