        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.

      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.

      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.
