- “ Does this brand/product/service meet my specific needs?” Entitled: Boomers have worked hard and think of high quality travel not as a perk but as an entitlement. They expect to be pampered and know how many threads in the sheet count… A change from earlier life stages, in which pleasing others, ignoring their own needs and being loyal took precedence.

Another writes “I started seeking brands that were interested in celebrating women in my age group and not going after the younger generations.”
