    Lol! the littlest addicts .....


    People tend to associate the baby boom with the folks born in the late '40 and early '50s. In fact the largest birth cohorts were the late '50s and the first two years of the '60s.


    Anyway, this is all quite silly. Read Steven Ambrose - there were shirkers and war profiteers in the "greatest generation" There were conservatives among the boomers. Etc, etc.

          I've never heard of the first and final options. Heck, you could probably mux all of them up and call it the Echo Boomer generation...

              I've actually read a lot on the Boomerang generation while studying developmental psychology. They are basically Sava - people who move back in with their parents to keep a middle class life.

                          I'm aware of that, but I don't think Sava lives at home with his parents to maintain his middle class lifestyle. To maintain his life period, perhaps.
