As a gen X it's just nice to be remembered that I exist.
Still, I own my own home without my parents having to die, so I'll rub that in your faces if you try to make me feel old.
Selloutt lol
So much better than renting. It's imba.
I realised the other day I hadn't heard that word in years, so I'm bringing it back.
No one says Imba anymore grandpa.
The cool kids say OP now.
That sounds well based, fam.
You basically have to buy if you can afford it, only thing worse than paying a mortgage is paying someone else's. I'm closing in on my mortgage in my 30s which I never expected. Going to a trade college allowed me to save down payment and never be jobless, and buying a shitty townhome during the crash in what became a highly desirable area, allowed me to move to a huge country property before the market caught up here. Odd but very fortunate set of circumstances.
omg imba. Now that is a word that ages you very very well considering you're gen x
Just fucking die already old dude /s
Fucking thank you.
Gen X are old dudes. NOT boomers. I really appreciate that you made the distinction.
Have a rad day.
Saw a video of Tony Hawk the other day. He is 52 and probably just did his last 720° turn.
The Birdman is gonna 900 over all our graves.
Woogidie woogidie woogidie
What's that! I can't hear you through these thick brick walls I own and have paid for!
** Turns on mosquito alarm I've got too much tinnitus to hear **
Like, you know, whatever.
psshhhaa
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.
Judging by the state of my town, I think the secret ingredient is living in a shithole.
Same. I don't even know why people shit on us. We've never really been in power, probably never will be --Obama is the closest thing we'll ever have to an Xer president and even then he's technically a boomer-- it's just a fact that in comparison to the boomers and millennials, demographically we've never mattered.
Our little window for demographic leadership, based on our coming into the age in which we'd ostensibly be capable of governance, was stomped on by the boomer gerontocracy and the rage of the far more numerous millennials.
The upshot is that us Xers never really had a real go at demographic power, and to the contrary, were left to pick up what scraps we could from the absolute mayhem that the boomers left us with.
Old ass
Millennial or w.e, I think Gen X is pretty alright. They got shit served to them like all do now. We just need to happiness be
