Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.
It gives me hope for unity.

A million dollar in the 60’s and a million dollar today are vastly different amounts of money. A million in 1964 dollars is around $10 million in todays money.
Of course a boomer back than would think of yachts and mansions when dreaming of becoming a millionaire. A few million dollars made a person a member of the upperclass back then. While a few million dollar today is upper middle class kind of money. If I had a million to spend I could buy a nice family home in my town (not a mansion) a new family car, pay off some debt and by then the million dollars is mostly gone.
Even with $10M I'd be too worried about running out to go spending it frivolously on things like yachts. Sure, you could live comfortably and never work again, but you'd still have to be smart with it. Look at all the lottery winners, professional athletes, and entertainers who end up spending themselves broke with more to start with than that.
You have to be smart with money no matter how much you have or what time you live in.
