My second husband and I are in our early 70’s. We both worked for the same companies for over 30 years, and are now comfortably retired. But our kids, all in their 40’s now, are still looking to us for financial help. We have a beautiful custom home, and an income that allows us to decorate, travel, entertain our friends in our home, and to live a little of that good life we worked so hard for. But how can we enjoy our vacation knowing our 50 year old daughter cannot afford to pay for necessary dentistry. She is a public school teacher, has a good job, but she does not know how to budget, and then she makes us feel guilty for enjoying what we worked our whole lives for. When are we free of the guilt?

Wow! Thanks for your comment and especially for your last thought…”the Obama generation doesn’t want to steal away the evolution of our society, just further it.” Nothing could be better for the Greater Good!

I think it is important that the Boomers remember what they went through as well, and they should be open to new ideas as you say. If the older generation could remember the fealings they held in the 60’s and 70’s for big government and the older generation. Some might just find that open mindedness and acceptance of ideas is what they needed then from others and what they can now provide. Your generation was defined by change, and the Obama generation doesn’t want to steal away the evolution of our society, just further it.
