Remember when we drank from the hose, stayed out until the streetlights came on, and somehow survived fashion choices that should probably never make a comeback?

In this episode, Paula and Karen take a hilarious trip through GenX nostalgia before turning their attention to something a little more serious: what it actually means to hit midlife when nobody really prepared us for it.

We put our generational knowledge to the test with a round of *Generationally Speaking*, talk about the trends we lived through (and the ones younger generations have inexplicably brought back), and get into money, aging, changing priorities, and those midlife moments that make you go "Hmmmmm..."

It's funny, nostalgic, a little ridiculous, and very real because we may have figured out how to survive childhood without helmets, but apparently there was a whole lot nobody taught us about surviving midlife.

In this episode:

Gen X nostalgia and the things we can't believe we survived
Generationally Speaking: How well do we actually know other generations?
Fashion trends that disappeared — and somehow came back
The money lessons many of us never learned
How our ideas about aging have changed
The unexpected realities of midlife
Why every generation seems convinced the others are doing it wrong

From Hose Water, Hot Flashes, and Bad Decisions, the podcast where Karen
Cerezo and Paula talk about getting older, getting weirder, and the bad
decisions that got us here.
