I think most Swedes agree that the 1960's were a blessed decade, we will never see times like that again.
"Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end..."

For the science-fiction nerds, there's a story about Martian instruction manuals entitled "Lost Art" by George O. Smith, which can be found in the anthology "The Book of Mars" (UK) aka "Mars, We Love You" (USA).

I agree. There was a lightness and brightness to the Sixties (well, of course until about 1968 in the USA).

And on a side note, even though I was born in 1959 I'd rather not be called a Boomer. I think Kid of the Space Age is more accurate for me and maybe some others in my cohort.

I was born in the mid 40's and belong to the blessed generation. I believe my daughters born '66 and '69 were also among 'he lucky ones', we neve seemed to miss anything. We hardly ever discussed money, I didn't have much as a young parent but nobody expected anything else. And we didn't borrow money or things, we saved until we had enough to buy what we wanted, the only way to do it.
