They had a lot of the same benefits as Boomers tho. Silent gen is asset-rich.

Can I also say the old folks of today are very bad mannered, are dangerous drivers and have an obsession of getting in your way in supermarkets or when your in a rush. Why we have to show them so much respect when they dont respect us I dont know!

Also when I was a kid I remember people looking really old and it turned out they were only about 50! In more recent times 50+ year olds look younger due to hair fashion etc. Also to think im only 20 years off being that age myself is scary
