"Baby Boomer resentment" is a term used to describe the growing feeling of resentment among "Millennials" that they are working to pay for the Social Security and Medicare of Baby Boomers, but they are paying into a
system that will be bankrupt and gone by the time they are old enough to retire and have the same benefits. They feel they will be robbed. . . . . . . {The Millennial Generation (or Millennials), also known as Generation Y, describes the demographic group following Generation X. Since there are no exact dates (as of
2011) for when the Millennial Generation starts and ends, commentators have used birth dates ranging somewhere from the
mid-1970s to the early
2000s. Members of this generation are also called Echo Boomers, due to the significant increase in birth rates through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and because many of them are
children of Baby Boomers}. . . . . . . {A Baby Boomer is a
person who was born during the demographic Post-World
War II baby boom, from 1946 to 1964}.
Minnennial speaking: "I have '
Baby Boomer resentment' because I'm going to be working all of my
life to pay for millions of retired Baby
Boomers and when I am old enough to retire there won't be any Social Security or Medicare for me."
