Can gen x get it before the millennials blow it on avocado toast and Netflix please?
No fuck off gen x already blew theirs on cocaine and dotcom stocks
I never had money for cocaine or stocks.
I'm Gen X and I've always been poor.
My parents weren't doing much better, either.
I don't think I can ever retire. I'll be one of those people that gets evicted from a nursing home
Every generation got fucked. Boomers may be stupid in a lot of cases but they are mostly suffering under the same issues we are.
No war but class war.
when i was 20, i took care of my grandmother. she got evicted from a so-called 'Christian' assisted living facility, that evicted her on Christmas.
people... what a bunch of bastards.
Christian is a dirty word and it's Christian's fault
Gen X here. Mother died of cancer when 13. Father left us two weeks after that. Several years later, father penniless and died of an OD in a ditch in East Tennessee.
Literally was trying to be left with the debt by the State of Tennessee, actually had to obtain a lawyer to show my legal declaration of becoming an orphan when I was a kid to get them to stop.
So the only thing they left me with was a lawyer bill and about two years worth of court proceedings. So no, at least for me, we’re not getting anything from them.
Sorry, remember that Nintendo you wanted so badly as a child you would do anything to get? Honestly I pretty happy I'm not millennial or gen z, they got it pretty bad. I at least got to live in a cheap Los Angeles and take a decade of my life figuring out a career. These days you better be laser focused and do everything perfectly if you want to thrive.
Can relate, am screwed
