I've always found Boomers very self-absorbed, short-sighted, and WAY behind on their financial knowledge as it relates to a secure future. They are socialist at heart--because they still believe in the goodness of gov't.
The boomers I know don't necessarily believe in the goodness of government; they're just too self centered and absorbed to think of anything except their own "good" life and high times. Consequently, they spend all they get (and more too - i.e., debt) to save for the future.
