A lot of people don’t get it. They just remember that they got the American Dream with a bit of good old fashioned hard work. Today, it’s very, very different. I feel bad for young people.

Yeah, I'm Gen-X so I get it.

I'm between the Boomer and Millennial generations.

The generations of affluence, where the hospital bill for a child's broken arm after he fell off the swing set was $50 without insurance but a new color TV cost four months wages.

Where a meat-cutter at the grocery store could buy a house in the suburbs and send his kids to college.

And the generation today, where the nicest 85" 4K TV costs about a day's wages but a broken arm will bankrupt you.

Where a college degree in transgender basketweaving costs five figures but you need that degree too work at Starbucks making coffee.

Weird times...

Remember, Boomers were drafted and shipped to Vietnam. Whatever later generations dealt with, at least we didn’t have to worry about the draft. The generation who had the easiest life was mine - those of us born at the end of the Boom and the beginning of X. The 1980’s were a great time to be young. I feel sorry for young people today who grew up post 9/11.
