If you lump Gen X with Boomers, you don’t know us at all.

There were those of us in Gen X that weren't self sufficient. They died.

I was born in 1971 and raised by a single mom. I don't know how many times I didn't get my way as a child and would complain that it wasn't fair. My mom would say "Life isn't fair. Get used to it" 😂

The best way I can sum up Gen X philosophy is with a quote from my grandfather, who was part of the greatest generation. “sometimes the only way to win is to not play the game.” basically what it means is that you have to learn to pick your battles if the fight’s not worth having don’t engage and our generation finds that nine times out of 10 it’s not worth engaging.

I am Gen X and I began carrying a house key at about 7 years old. Younger kids started at 5--the year of Kindergarten.

Gex X here. This is 100% true. We just put our head down and do the work because whining and griping about it does not get you anywhere, just puts off the inevitable.

Gen X does N0T want to be categorized with boomers!!! We are so different.

I am Gen X. Most of my friends and I were very sufficient and for the most part our motto was leave us alone.

@matthewhunt7665 5 months ago

No I think Gen. x is the bridge between all of the generations. Gen. x can go analog with the boomers. They can also go digital with millennials and Gen. z.

I’m 60 now, but I was coming home to an empty house at 8 years old. I made my own dinner, did my own laundry and set my own bedtime. And, we didn’t have all these answers, but we sought them out on our own, without influence from the outside.

I’m Gen X, I had a key around my neck on a shoestring at 6. I wasn’t supposed to show anybody the key. But 1st grade, my mom went back to work and I started coming home alone because my school was within walking distance. I didn’t actually get a regular ride to school until I was 14.

The housing crash of 2008 happened just as we were at the beginning of our careers, so no, getting housing wasn't easier. And for many of us, we struggled to get our careers off the ground. I still rent an apartment to this day, but it turns out that works for me in the end.

Being trained to be so self-sufficient has made it very difficult to ask for help. We have to figure it out and handle it all. I was walking to and from school in 1st grade. My mom started working when i was in 4th grade.

Gen X are now the first to be laid off, because we are expensive.

I was walking home from school by the time i was 8 years old. And i came home to an empty house. Parents didnt come home until 5 or 6 pm

I'm 55. Not only did my generation grow up hearing how great our boomer parents were, our grandparents generation was labeled The Greatest Generation because of WW2

@philipshannon3521 5 months ago

we understood everything between the generation gaps and just rolled with it.

Wages and housing costs are usually proportional, especialy in the late 79s and early 80s. By the early 90s prices and wages were diverging. It’s way worse now.
