A Gen Zer asked Boomers to explain why they come off as 'angry.' They replied with vintage honesty.

Boomers tell all.

By Emily Shiffer

The Baby Boomer generation (those born between 1946 and 1964) has a number of unique habits and a less-than-positive reputation among younger generations. Millennials have stated that Boomer grandparents are all but absent and glued to their phones. And younger generations have coined the phrase "boomer panic" to describe what they see as Boomers becoming rather unhinged when facing minor life problems.

But what do Boomers have to say? One Gen Zer on Reddit gave Boomers the floor to try to understand their experience and perspective better. They posed the question: "Why do boomers act angry all of the time when they had the happiest lives out of every generation alive today?"

They went on to explain that from a Gen Z point of view, Boomers have had it pretty good.

6 affordable 1940s gift trends people are bringing back this holiday season

They might have been on to something back then.

By Jacalyn Wetzel

Winter holidays generally mean buying gifts for loved ones, but this holiday season, people are looking to yesteryear for affordable gift-giving ideas. People often feel that they have to spend a lot of money on a gift for it to be appreciated, but that's not always the case. As more shoppers move away from traditional commercial shopping, people are getting creative with their shopping plans.
