BlackRock (BLK) CEO Larry Fink has some strict criticism for the generation born in the 1950s, often known as baby boomers, or boomers for short. The executive, who is a boomer himself, claimed in a new letter to BlackRock investors that the older generation hasn’t been doing enough to help the “economically anxious” younger generations and should retire at an age later than 65.

“It’s no wonder younger generations, Millennials and Gen Z, are so economically anxious,” said Fink in the letter. “They believe my generation — the baby boomers — have focused on their own financial well-being to the detriment of who comes next. And in the case of retirement, they’re right.”

Fink also said in the letter that younger generations “have lost trust in older generations,” and that it is the responsibility for boomers to gain it back by making investments. “Young people have lost trust in older generations,” he said. “The burden is on us to get it back. And maybe investing for their long-term goals, including retirement, isn’t such a bad place to begin.”

Fink also states in the letter that he believes that older generations should retire at an age over 65 due to changing demographics in the country. He claims that people are living longer than they did in the early 20th century, and that the Social Security program worked during that era because “more than half the people who worked and paid into the system never lived to retire and be paid from the system.

Boomers are like people who line up early for a buffet, eat all the food, leave a big mess, and criticize late comers for complaining that they're hungry and getting ripped off.

America is a Gerontocracy.  Today's young people, when it's your turn be sure to chain your kids to the wheel just like the boomers did you.

Wait,  I thought that Boomers NOT retiring was the problem because they are occupying high-pay roles and preventing advancement of younger generations?

I think you should retire when you think you have the money to retire, if you run out early you are on your own. I'm  53 and retired and I never once planned on getting anything out of social security. If I do it's just a bonus.

I worked construction until I was 53, dad died and set me up to be able to retire.  I feel better at 55 than I did at 35.  trades take a toll for sure.  I got lucky most of my former co workers are near crippled and many on disability.

I believe what CavVet is saying is those of us who are retired, have earned it and we will continue to enjoy it, despite the whining of an egotistical globalist cunt and mucking up his plans of taking over the world.  

Unless he’s literally fucking a dog then I disavow all previous associations with CavVet and completely disapprove of said disgusting activities.

Thanks.  I never heard that term before GD.

I just learned that Caff is British slang for cafe (a place that serves British breakfasts), chippy (fish 'n chip shop).

Yes.


But because boomers rarely have savings.  And they’re going to be a huge draw to society when they can no longer work / are forced to retire. So he is encouraging them to use the advantages they have now, pile into their meager retirement accounts. Which benefits him.  

Where as younger generations, don’t have the ability to save - because they’re spending to afford life right now.  So his business would suffer, if more boomers retired and drew down their retirement.


Pretty easy math.

It's not my job to plan for macro-cultural-socioeconomic trends. I live the law of the jungle: kill or be killed, eat what you kill. Die another day. Only the strong survive. It's a competition out there. Kick ass and take names. Sometimes you swat the tiger on his nose., other times he bites you in the ass.

Generations want some sort of magnanimous acquiescence from me? No.

I am retiring in two weeks.  My efforts all along have been to accumulate assets, secure the assets in a manner where they do not get depleted, grow them and then to pass along whatever is not needed to my children and grandchildren both while I'm alive and after my demise.  I've counseled them to do the same so hopefully the 'wealth' gets passed along multiple generations and helps give the family as good a chance at their own success as is possible.  In this way we are not a burden on the government/fellow citizens and can possibly create opportunities for others.

Fuck him. I retired last month at 60. Both my grandfathers never made it to 60 and my dad died at 69. I say get as many good years as you can by retiring as early as possible.
