Baby boomers have certainly earned their reputation as the kings and queens of extravagant spending, especially when it comes to lavish items, and not millennials. The ongoing debate between generations often sees boomers criticizing millennials for their so-called wastefulness—like their obsession with overpriced avocado toast and trendy gadgets. However, a viral tweet from user @funnyparenttweets has sparked a hilarious response, turning the tables on boomers.
The tweet humorously calls for a moment of silence for the “good” plates, questioning the logic behind owning expensive BONE CHINA when most of us are just trying to reheat last night’s dinner in the microwave. Many millennials chimed in, sharing their own relatable experiences that are sure to make you chuckle.
“Forks stolen from a taco truck” had everyone in stitches. Seriously, do those fancy plates and silverware only make an appearance for formal occasions? Most millennials don’t even have dining rooms. If I ever get enough space for a formal dining area, you can bet I’d fill it with IKEA storage solutions instead of a chandelier.
It’s clear that the concept of luxury is subjective. While boomers may have enjoyed financial security and elegant living rooms adorned with ornate furniture, millennials are more inclined to purchase affordable towels from Target and IKEA pieces that are functional—definitely not lavish, but practical.
Let’s be real; owning a home has become a luxury in today’s world. Boomers could buy homes on single incomes, while many millennials can only dream of homeownership without the financial assistance of their parents.
Yes, millennials may indulge in avocado toast and the latest tech, but boomers had their fair share of extravagant comforts. It’s all about perspective—what was once considered a necessity for boomers may seem excessive to millennials, and vice versa.

The humor in these tweets highlights the generational divide, revealing a deeper conversation about values and priorities when it comes to money.
