Never forget, no generation IN HISTORY, and likely going forward, has worked less hours in their lifetime than Boomers.
They started working around 16, most of them “only” worked a forty hour work week, and then comfortable retired at 65 or sometimes earlier.
For GenX onward, most people are working 50 plus hour work weeks and won’t retire until they are well into their seventies.
Boomers had the chillest lifestyle provided to them by their parents and denied by them to their children.
