I suspect that many a ‘boomer’ might be pleased with the ‘problem generation’ label. When they were teen- or twenty-somethings, their parents’ generation may well have either despaired of them or worried about the world into which they were emerging as adults; it will ever be thus. The surprise here is that divorce, drink, drugs and STDs are increasingly problems of that older generation, as the younger are less likely to be boozers or smokers, don’t get married unless they’re sure and are rather more careful, selective and less desperate on those dating apps, than might be your average over 50- or 60-year old. What the boomers are more likely to have than the Gen Whatevers is the financial security of their own home and pension; which means they’re the ones who can afford to ‘fool around’. Mid-life crises may come in a different form for many in years to come.
“2024 a mixed year for sustainable investing, report finds”
lthough in theory the environment (pardon the) for sustainable/ethical/responsible funds improved significantly last year, the performance of many did not. Excluding oil/mining/guns/fags all hampered their performance in the aftermath of Ukraine.
