Some of these are spot on...and others are hilarious.

Hey Boomers...this is for us.

Boomer Skills Millennials Just Won’t Use | Investing Magazine

It’s no secret that Boomers grew up in a time when things were totally different. For those in their fifties, technology wasn’t around when they were growing up and the only streaming service they knew was the fancy soda maker their parents brought out at Christmas. Boomers grew up learning...

What about the conical glass bottles which had a stick and brush built into the cap?
 
I find that it works the other way round. When young people see a one penny on the ground they don't pick it up because to them it is worth effectively nothing since there was never at time in their short lives when it was worth anything. If you are old enough, you can recall a day, long long time ago, but I can still remember when one pence actualy had some value so I pick it up all the while knowing I am about to regret doing so as the aches and pains begin.
 
I'll pick up every penny on the ground/street/sidewalk I can get my hands on. I them put it/them in the gallon glass jug sitting on my fireplace hearth. When it gets full, I'll take it to the bank, let them count the booty; and, then deposit $ 60 or so into my bank account :=D:
 
^ Our pennies are imaginary now. When paying by debit or credit cart, the total cost is to the penny. We round up or round down ONLY when we pay by cash. Since our lowest coin is now the nickel (5 cents), the rounding is as follows for the final digit total amounts:

1 or 2, 6 or 7, round down
3 or 4, 8 or 9, round up

So, if your groceries total $67.42, you pay $67.42 debit or credit, and $67.40 with cash. If the total is $42.38, you pay $42.38 debit or credit, and $42.40 with cash.

It's really simple and you're not burdened with worthless coins in your pockets.
 
I have a change jar. I snagged it from the trash when I worked at CircleK about a hundred years ago. Remember seeing the big jar of dill pickles selling for a quarter or 30¢? That's the jar. Maybe three gallons.
All pocket change goes into a bowl. Bowl gets full and is dumped into the pickle jar.
Take stuff, beer cans, scrap metal, whatever to the recycle place and that cash goes into the jar.

Keep at it and it adds up. Change your pocket change to things like two nickles for a dime and it doesn't look like there is much in the jar.

I emptied the jar for a trip to Puerto Vallarta. Had about $500 in there. Just pocket change.

About 12 years ago we decided we wanted one of them there new fangled flat screen TVs. For the price, lets go big. The jar was just barely more than half full. Heavy. Put it on a carpet scrap then on a dog food sack (for ease of sliding) and drag it to the living room. I sorted and rolled coin for a couple of days. I have coin sorting trays and I have a "Downey-Johnson Coin Counter". Duck and Go that for pictures. I saved coin boxes from work and boxed everything up like it came from the bank. I had $1900 once all done. Just pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters. The 50¢ and $1 coins are still in the jar.... couple of hundred worth. Add a couple hundred in cash and we are going to Sam's Club.

I found the TV I wanted. Though that Sony sure had a nice picture, it was just 42" and didn't sound great.

We got the TV on a cart, added a Sony Blu-ray player because, hey, we are here, and went to check out. "Your total is $2150 with tax" and I pulled a wad of hundreds out of my pocket and counted it out. I was working in Cash Control so counting money was easy. Dude's eyes got real big. Because I'm fast. He re-counted it very slow. Called someone over to make sure he counted correctly. It was cool. That's a lot of cash.

Yeah. I know you can buy 65" TVs at Walmart NOW for about $500. I saw an 80" a month or so ago and they wanted $1200. Nice picture. Sound quality, no clue. Life span? Er. Buy Chicken of the Sea tuna from Walmart and buy what looks exactly the same at HEB. The HEB can has actual chunks of tuna. I'm going to assume TVs from Wally World are going to be similar.

Anyway. I pick up change when I find it. It adds up.
 
My almost 14 year (yikes) old 55" Vizio is still a great TV. Over the air? The picture is awesome.
 
Another sign you are getting old... You read commentary about pennies going away, and immediately wonder how people who used them in fuse boxes--as stupid an idea as that admittedly is--would have coped!
