Missing out on superannuation due to taking on domestic duties with kids, succumbing to financial coercion by male partners who prioritise their careers over child rearing, being aged out of the workforce. Blokes who grew up with single mothers know all about this.
I can totally understand the frustration at the boomer generation. But there is an underlying issue at play here which is unfair. There’s an assumption that older people should have forseen the future and made the right choices about housing. I was born in 1990, and I didn’t even see this housing crisis coming when I was in my mid 20s. Lots of people are being blamed for not making the right choices before the gate closed. The fact is that gate shouldn’t be closing. We shouldn’t have to live our lives focused on accumulating wealth just to be OK.
