Please don't include X with the boomers. Since we stepped into the real world and realized it functions completely differently than what we were raised to believe, life's just been a neverending string of "wait, that was wrong too?" We just want to survive another day under the radar.
Sorry fellow X'rs for publicly acknowledging our existence. Hopefully this post doesn't get any upvotes. *Pulls blanket back over my head.
The average home buyer in the US 17 years ago was born in 1968. Today? 1968. Yeah excuse me but as an elder millennial, Gen X can mostly fuck right off.
You understand that gen x starts around 1965, right? Your stat says they're mostly getting fucked too.
I'm on the cusp of X and millennial, so I've been around plenty of both.
Some X's have done well for themselves, but those without a bit of luck and assistance have mostly had to give up on big dreams of housing security and family.
Millennials have had it tougher, but many of them still got there, with a bit more luck and assistance.
It's been a long decline, with the concentration of capital making it harder for most of us every year. The generational divide is just another distraction from class warfare.
