I came along near the end of the baby boom. So I got overcrowded schools (why enlarge and hire more teachers when the boom was about to go bust), came of age during the Carter years and got married in 1980 when unemployment was over 10% and mortgage rates over 18%. Fun way to start out!
Married in 80?
Ok Boomer. LMAO!!
I worked on Reagan’s campaign in 80. Worked hard in fact. I had lots of energy.
I got invited to his Inauguration.
But couldn’t vote for him because I was 17.
That really frustrated me so every time I thought about it, I go to the phone banks, deliver supplies, put together signs, or something to make up for my lack of a vote.
