Today, host Mel O, CFP, takes on one of the most heated debates in financial and generational discourse: "Are Boomers Really to Blame?" Drawing from decades of economic policy, Mel digs into the legislation and shifts that have shaped our financial landscape—from Prop 13 in California to Reagan's tax cuts, the weakening of unions, and the boom-era laws that cemented advantages for asset-owners. But is the finger-pointing justified?
Mel explores how much blame truly lies at the feet of the boomer generation versus the silent and great generations that came before, and how the cumulative impact of these decisions now weighs on Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z. With her trademark honest (and sometimes irreverent) analysis, Mel breaks down misunderstandings, exposes the nuances behind "lazy millennial" stereotypes, and offers historical context for today's housing crisis, tax policies, and deepening wealth inequality.
Whether you're tired of generational scapegoating or ready to hear some fresh perspective on social and economic trends, this episode will challenge—and maybe even change—the way you see the debate. Tune in for financial myth-busting, a few metal tracks, and a real talk about what generations have really done to our wallets!
