I might be of that generation
but I didn't do any ruining. I had a modest income and none of my home-making cost a fortune. But specifically, I didn't play the capitalist property climbing game and didn't line the pockets of those who live off those who do. What's it all worth today? Not a clue. Am I interested? No.
