A 34-year-old British millennial is angry at his baby boomer parents and complains that the two, who are in their 60s, have been treating each other to luxury trips since they retired. The retired couple's attitude towards life is the motto “Yolo” (You only live once), which young people do not like very much.

The person, who wishes to remain anonymous, fears that his parents will spend the money he hoped to one day inherit. “My inheritance will be depleted by her dream vacation,” he complains in the Daily Mail. My inheritance is currently being drunk through a straw in a coconut in the Caribbean. She will only remain a little.” Parents are selfish because they spend their money on themselves.

“Suddenly, my father became interested in the street markets in Tokyo.”

“The problem was that it wasn't limited to one or two vacations. It didn’t even stop at three or four,” the anonymous person said. His cell phone is full of vacation photos. “For two weeks they toured Thailand on a motorcycle, visiting bars, restaurants and beaches, like a twenty-something backpacker.” Suddenly, the father became interested in the street markets of Tokyo. “Flights to Japan are not cheap, I know. Still, he reserved some.”

After all, the Millennial with an expensive apartment is aware that they depend on their parents for financial support. Obviously there is concern that the living situation may change.

Apparently this is not an isolated case: as Voxday.net reports, citing a study by Moneyfarm, two out of five adult children's blood boils at the thought of their parents spending their inheritance on luxury vacations. Almost half of those surveyed even wanted to receive the money while their parents were still alive.

The Boomers strike back sharply. “It's not your money” is a statement they throw at millennials. But it is by no means the only one.
