Boomers get blamed for killing the American Dream — but is it really their fault? In this video, I break down the full story of how America went from post-WWII prosperity, cheap houses, and single-income families to today’s cost of living crisis, crushing debt, and inequality.

We’ll cover the Baby Boomer generation’s rise, the 1970s stagflation, the Reagan Revolution, the 1990s economic boom, globalization, outsourcing, deregulation, the 2008 financial crisis, and the housing market collapse — and how all of these events shaped the world we live in today.

This is the story of how the American Dream unraveled, why life feels so expensive, and whether Boomers really are to blame — or if they’re scapegoats for a broken system.
