I suggest that all you gen-x slackers stop whining, learn to change your own diapers, get off the couch (or keyboard) and get a second job if you are not educated enough or qualified enough to fund all you need in life with the one that you have.

We could fund a lot more and devote more time to family (though a lot of geezers only give lip service to "family values") if the geezers weren't using 15% of our paychecks as spending money.

"if the geezers weren't using 15% of our paychecks as spending money."

And what was the percentage of those geezers' paychecks that went into raising you?

By 'geezer' I assume you mean Greatest Generation folks since even the dimmest bulb here can do the math and knoes that no boomers are taking SS payments yet.
