text: Kinda like how the "baby boomers" funded the "Lost Generation" (my grandparents, who were only asked to pay a  few years into CPP before retirement at age 80, the "Silent Generation", "Greatest Generation" - My Dads generation although he himself paid his own way many times over after surviving 5 years wartime duty in the air force and finally retiring at age 83; and the "silent generation" which would include my Mom. Although she too loved to work, retired at 65 for 2 months and was asked back to work by her boss & finally retired at age 76.  I myself a boomer started working at age 12 (family business) and have willingly afforded my own way. Not sure about the saving habits of my peers or the millennials.
