> Aren’t the Baby Boomers the last generation alive today that will on average have a better standard of living than their parents?
Probably not. Gen X was predicted to be the first to do worse than their parents, but subsequently the Millennials were also predicted to be the first to (so I assume it hasn't turned out that way, on average, for GenX, or maybe GenX just got forgotten again as always seems to happen.) OTOH, the post-Millenial generation (GenZ) is already near near the age at which the GenX and Millennials predictions were first made, and I haven't heard anyone predicting it will happen/continue with them.
And the post-post-Millenial generation is alive today, so in any case it's probably pretty presumptuous to say that the Baby Boomers will be the last generation to be alive today to do anything except, I dunno, grow up without computers.
