By many accounts, I am doing well, browsing BoConcept and Dolce &Gabbana during a pandemic, but the loss of income, and more than income, stability, from the Recession, I should have way more money and security. Granted, some of this is my chosen path, but having an economic crisis at age 22, when me and our generation are barely starting our financial lives.
My family is doing well now, but my Dad was struggling for years post Recession, when he should have been coasting out at maximum income to retirement. He has his parents assets to fall back on, they have since passed.

what job is that. My job doesn't technically need a degree either but you gotta be a book smart nikka to do it, and 2 uncles were grinders but not book smart.
Ironically, I just got laid off, but have fruitful interview(s) coming up. I'm a purchasing agent in manufacturing. I started working as a data entry clerk.
Grinding could prolly top out at 80-90k, depending how long, where and to what extent you're special. Like most mfg jobs.
Gen X is in the same boat. We just don’t get any attention because we are sandwiched between the two loudest and most self absorbed generations ever.
We took our lumps stoically and with grace, like the the Greatest generation.

A couple of those meritocracy preachers are right here in this thread. They'll bytch about shyt stacked against them when they want to play victim, but turn it around and point out they're doing better than everyone else and keep screwing the little guy over, and they'll say the little guy deserves it for not being them.
These two experiences could traumatize our generation enough to bring radical change.
That’s if climate change doesn’t reach a point of no return. Which at that point we can all hit the streets and liquidate every wealthy person that had anything to do with our doom.

Even so, most of Gen X graduated from college in the 90s when good paying jobs were abundant. They had a good 10 to 15 years of a solid job market before everything went south.
Yeah, don’t even know why he said shyt. Gen X had a solid run. Meanwhile, that demonic cac Bolsanaro keeps cutting down the Amazon. Lol I literally see no point in kids cuz these a$$holes are creating a terrible world for the future.
Tail end of Gen X caught hell. Soon as we graduated college, we were hit with 9/11. Then layoffs from 2001 recession, then we had to go fight in Iraq war and to op it all off, more layoffs due to 2008 recession as we were entering our settling down stage of life.
We’ve been through some shyt at key points in our lives, but we are constantly ignored. It’s all about Boomers vs Millennials.
We are like the neglected middle child in this bytch.
This I think we can all agree. They might be the most wretched generation and they’ll hold on to power till we take it from their cold dead hands.
