I’m a gen-Xer who is still renting but I was never able to do a capitalism, and would be kept awake at night by all the atrocities I’d have to commit to do one.
i’m with you. late x’er here. my boomer parents’ promises never panned out, my retirement plan is work until i die or check out early if i can’t manage it.
getting lumped in with boomers when i have been served the same shit as the younger generations gets old, but the minds of people who never didn’t have internet is still a bit of a mystery to me.
funny how appropriate the x nomer and all it implies about our generation turned out to be.
Same. I don’t even know why people shit on us. We’ve never really been in power, probably never will be --Obama is the closest thing we’ll ever have to an Xer president and even then he’s technically a boomer-- it’s just a fact that in comparison to the boomers and millennials, demographically we’ve never mattered.
Our little window for demographic leadership, based on our coming into the age in which we’d ostensibly be capable of governance, was stomped on by the boomer gerontocracy and the rage of the far more numerous millennials.
The upshot is that us Xers never really had a real go at demographic power, and to the contrary, were left to pick up what scraps we could from the absolute mayhem that the boomers left us with.
As a gen X it’s just nice to be remembered that I exist.
Still, I own my own home without my parents having to die, so I’ll rub that in your faces if you try to make me feel old.

Judging by the state of my town, I think the secret ingredient is living in a shithole.

Just fucking die already old dude /s
Fucking thank you.
Gen X are old dudes. NOT boomers. I really appreciate that you made the distinction.
Have a rad day.
