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.
