GenXer's were born in a recession. We had to raise ourselves because our families were broken. And now these two demos are shifting all the costs onto us and making us take care of them, and I just can't believe that GenXer's aren't losing our minds over this. We constantly get the shaft. But we are the original disaffected generation. So I guess we just suck it up and carry on. But some day I might freak out. I'm just letting you all know. Eff them and they whiney ass attitudes. And then, according to history we really don't exist. We are like unicorns.she said:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15003430767746896739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-14290143858722923342018-06-22T17:22:49.807-07:002018-06-22T17:22:49.807-07:00"... this GenXer is judging the shit out of m...<i>"... this GenXer is judging the shit out of millennials ..."</i><br /><br />I am essentially a late Boomer but I've always identified with Gen X.<br /><br />That might not make sense until you've read some of my other comments about my family -- my early Boomer and late "Greatest Generation" siblings were some of the biggest reasons I worked to get away from my family.<br /><br />I've obviously judged the shit out of them, and I'm definitely judging the shit out of the Millennials.<br /><br />What I am seeing is that anyone born between 1965 and 1980 is going to get massively screwed by the incompetence sandwich that is the early Boomers and the Millennials when we start getting closer to "retirement age".<br /><br />But the only thing I saw that was greatest about the "Greatest Generation" was that they figured out how to play the game so they could shift the costs of their lifestyle onto future generations, i.e., mostly us.<br /><br />So although I am essentially semi-retired, I'm already seeing that I can't fully retire here because of several things, the worst of which is that my personal liability is essentially uncapped, meaning that no matter how hard I try to work to have everything I need for the rest of my life, someone or something can clean me out completely even if I'm very careful about structuring things.<br /><br />But the Millennials will want El Socialismo 3.0, and they will give it to themselves good and hard ... along with anyone else who's stuck with them for the ride.<br /><br />ALSO I HATE HIPSTERS SO LET'S JUST GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY :-)Capital of Texas Refugeenoreply@blogger.com
