    I’m a gen-Xer who is still renting but I was never able to do a capitalism, and would be kept awake at night by all the atrocities I’d have to commit to do one.

      i’m with you. late x’er here. my boomer parents’ promises never panned out, my retirement plan is work until i die or check out early if i can’t manage it.

      getting lumped in with boomers when i have been served the same shit as the younger generations gets old, but the minds of people who never didn’t have internet is still a bit of a mystery to me.

      funny how appropriate the x nomer and all it implies about our generation turned out to be.
