I'd have to say my parents.
- They missed WW2
They bought their houses while prices were reasonable or even cheap
They laugh at the amount of credit adverts instead of noting the number
They lived through the 60's and 70's
Summers were summers
They dont have to worry about the greenhouse effect
I could go on...
Thats just my opinion of the generation of people in their late 40's and early 50's. It's not a quotable fact.
