They are a bunch of babies...with credit cards....
Okayyyy. This is based on what? GEN-X is one of the most educated generations turned out by this country and one of the most productive. In the 80s, Americans were called lazy by the japanese.

It used to be board executives were in their 50s and 60s. Now we're seeing more and more in their 40s and even late 30s.
Hard working? Absolutely. Cynical? Perhaps. But "babies with credit cards"? Hey, at least we weren't a bunch of lazy hippies who never grew up.

15 years in myself. I'm 38. Pure Gen-X
