    None of my genx friends would agree with you. They are all professional wage slaves and still can’t get a promotion because their 75 year old bosses refuse to retire.

      Yes, I forgot to add that to the list. The boomers’ death grip on the high paying jobs. That is a factor.

      Being GenX myself I’m pretty familiar with what we’ve been through, so I don’t need to argue about it. I was careful to use conditional language to indicate that not everyone got to follow the path I mentioned, just like today not all millennials or GenZ get hosed and some can follow the traditional path.
