I don’t think Boomers who foolishly attempt to defend their fellow Boomers understand that doing so only makes those of us in the younger generations all the more invested in seeing The Day of the Pillow come for all of them.
We spend our children’s inheritance traveling around the world, people call us ‘selfish’ but we don’t care. A rich boomer couple has been labeled “selfish and privileged” after revealing they intended to burn through their children’s inheritance with luxury holidays. Victorian parents Leanne and Leon Ryland appeared on SBS program ‘Insight’ to discuss why their two adult sons wouldn’t be seeing a cent of their inheritance.
The couple has spent $114,631 on seeing the “wonders of the world” since their retirement, and their travels have included Machu Picchu in Peru, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. In fact, they plan to continue traveling and joked their sons would only inherit the “shelf of s–t” from their travels.
The couple started their jetsetting ways four years ago after they saw a financial planner about their retirement. “We’ve done all the right things by investing in property, boosting up our super, making sure that was healthy, going without a lot of things,” Ms Ryland said on the program. “And he said, ‘You’re crazy if you don’t retire when you can, because you’ll spend most of your wealth on travel or whatever in the first 10 years, and then after that it slows down’.
“It’s changing our mindset. You get into a phase now where you actually spend instead of save.”
The couple have not only taken the mindset themselves, but have taken steps to help other rich, older parents spend their children’s inheritance.
I don’t call them selfish. I call them a wicked generation that will deservedly burn in Hell as their descendants curse their memory. Remember, the Boomers collectively received the largest inheritance in human history from their parents, and the majority of them are going to leave their children and grandchildren with literally less than nothing, with nothing but their debts.
This is straight-up wickedness, both according to the Bible and the natural order.
