Accurate, just trying to survive

Trust me, things weren't going that well for Gen X in the 90's, and most weren't getting married until much later, usually closer to 30. Of note, in 1990, the absolute oldest Gen X'ers were only 25 years old and half the generation was still in school.

Rewind in time back to the 80's, take off the college degree, and you have what the Baby Boomers had.

Yeah, there’s a falsehood when people keep using the 90s as some perfect era. People were struggling back then, and people had really bad situations. Same in the 80s as well.

No era is perfect. It just depends on your individual circumstances.

I think you’re confusing X with the Boomers and even then this was a rich boomer.

Yes, it seems like people are starting to think of Gen X like boomers to blame everything on. I sure af didn't know anyone who bought a house at 25.

Yeah and of the boomers who had a house by 25, most didn’t have a degree and 4 kids, and that house was so tiny most of us couldn’t fathom 6 people plus a dog in that space
