Gen X / Xennial cusp here. I'm as dismal as everyone else. We're fucked. I'm fucked. I've worked my ass off to get nothing. I have no hope and can't figure out why I keep trying.

My future is uncertain, I have no end of life care, no insurance, no retirement, and no prospects.

Gaslighting? No. I do wish someone would leave the gas on in my apartment though.
