1. Well, no disrespect to boomers, BUT ...
We Gen X'ers feel generally crapped upon. I believe history will prove that we were the first American generation to do worse than our parents. So we have issues. :hi:

2. I can see where you're coming from, dawg.
"we were the first American generation to do worse than our parents. "

That's true of X'ers as a whole.

On an individual level, my father's family had money, but by the time I came along it was gone.

Sometimes it seems to me that those born in the '30s or early '40s were the lucky ones, as far as jobs are concerned.

There are advantages and disadvantages to being born in any generation. We're all stuck with the one we were born in.

:hi:

6. No one sent you off to the meat-grinder
like our parents did. We boomers tried to change the world, but our elders decided to kill us rather than change.

7. Its all very complicated.
Perhaps the math of (consumption x population) could have looked at a bit more closely.
