So interesting to watch as a baby boomer. Every generation has its struggles, but it is definitely becoming more nuanced.A like for like ambitious and intelligent person has always been able to achieve more with the help of their parents/private education. The gap is widening and I do worry that the state system of pay as you go state support will become less affordable. The current government are being disingenuous in saying that the state pension is a benefit. My generation paid its way and has a right to see that agreement fulfilled, the same as yours. Fundamentally politicians are letting us down.
