It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days.

      Exceptions to every rule exist.

        The vast majority of boomers are not wealthy. The vast majority of every age demographic are not wealthy.

        Considering something a “rule” that is overwhelmingly contradicted by “exceptions” makes the rule extremely silly to hang on to.

        Generational divisiveness is merely ageism used to distract us from class conscious analysis of issues.

          There is a higher percentage of working age people living in poverty than elderly people, yet every year more money is shifted from the working class to the retirement class.

          My father is 65, made over a million from selling the house he bought for 250,000, still collects my mother’s survivor benefits totaling half of her government pension (she died 20 years ago), gets a pension from magna, and next year the government is going to give him an extra 2 grand a month.

          I don’t think any more of my taxes should go to him, don’t you agree?

          You believe wealth exists only in a binary states of either gold flaked champagne or homeless destitution? Or perhaps you are being facetious? Regardless, the simple truth remains that your average boomer is much better off than your average millenial, or zoomer.

            Citation needed. Because I see older folks going through my recycling for empties every Wednesday. And I see tired exhausted old folks on the bus every day. Not saying rich boomers aren’t a thing, of course. But their elder millenial kids tend to be well off too by now. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a class thing, not an age thing. Always has been.
