This thread is an interesting read into the mindset of generations. Of course you can wrongly paint a broad brush and claim everyone in a given generation is homogenous, which isn't correct.
I'm Gen X here. For all of those hating on the boomers, we were raised by them. If anyone has a legitimate beef, it's us. Haha.
In all seriousness, I tend to notice our generation complains the least about other generations. We also seem to get the least press, probably by our choice. I think that's due to us being considered the forgotten generation. We were the first generation where two working parents was more common than not. Divorce rates and single parents were much higher. We were the latchkey kids. That molded us to be more independent and resourceful and from what I've noticed, a mindset of accepting life on life's terms and dealing with that reality as it approaches us without worrying too much how it got there.
I'm not saying that's good, bad or indifferent, but curious if any other X-ers feel the same?

In that age group? It seems like almost every one I know does at least partially. Maybe my sample group is not representative

When I was thirty, I didn't have as much as my parents. They had spent a lifetime getting there. And it didn't bother me.
I lived through Carter and early Reagan inflation years. You do what you can do.
Yes, economy is crappy now and is difficult and deck is stacked worse. And it is Biden fault, or whoever tells him what to do.
But you can overcome. You can move ( some folks think that good job ought to plop out of the sky so you don't have to leave grandma)
