I never claimed my experiences were normal. I just questioned how widespread belief in the Boomers' retirement myth could be in the rest of the populace, if I'd never so much as met a believer. (I didn't mean to suggest Boomers who were 5 years out didn't believe or weren't still banking on the myth. I was talking about the younger generations.[1]) My circles do contain a disproportionate number of creatives and the self-employed/start-up types - but you're off by a generation. And maybe half have degrees; if that. The biggest de-normative aspect is surely that my family/friends/colleagues are all in and around Detroit: where high unemployment and essentially no economic growth has been normal for a decade. [1] You know the boomers sure complain a lot about the 'attitude of entitlement' among the younger generations. But who was it that actually mortgaged our future for their present?
