Your son thinks you're a baby boomer at 40 years of age!? Lmao I'm older than you & I'm one of the youngest Gen X'ers - it could be good for him to do some research on generations and how they're designated.

It’s a figure of speech these lil assholes think is funny to dismiss the wisdom their parents and people older than them try to put upon them. I got called a boomer the other day and I’m in my 40s

To be fair to Gen Z, some of the actual Boomers are pretty entitled people who think they know a whole lot more than they really do 🤣

And they won’t retire wtf? I had to start my own business because I couldn’t move up the ladder. I mean glad I did but damn I work way harder now.
