Here’s my take on how I feel about the various generations:
Boomers: whatever
GenX: ehhh
Millennials: who cares
Zoomers: who gives a f

Im a millennial and I can confirm that this is how most Gen Xs feel about the issue.

PP here. ITA. But the whole pointing fingers and "eat the rich" can GFY, bc for the most part, not only did no one help, but they upped your property value so you can retire well.

Lol never worked for anything? 9/11 happened when we were in high school. We have been through a housing crash and 2 recessions, and now, when we should be starting to really advance in our careers in our 30s there is a global pandemic, and our kids can’t even go to school. So...: yeah. That’s how it’s going for our generation.

Im a millennial and doing very well financially, but this chart makes me so sad. Attitudes or not millennials got totally screwed.

“Millennials own just 3.2 percent of the nation’s wealth. To catch up to Gen Xers, they’d need to triple their wealth in just four years. To reach boomers, their net worth would need a sevenfold jump.”

And this one, about how Gen Z is going to do better (though still not great) than Millennials because they are coming of age when there is greater access to credit and a better economy, makes me happy for them.

Honey, more than one generation can be screwed by seismic global events.

What generation gave them medals for everything and allowed them to retake tests?

Hmm, this millennial doesn’t remember any of that.

It’s alright — Gen Z is already hating on us: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/5dp4w5/genz-millennials-skinny-jeans-generation-wars

This is the kind of roasting I can handle. I’ll own it. Gen Z can roast us all they want. It’s the criticism we get from people who destroyed our economic prospects that irritates me. (this is coming from somebody who is economically very secure, I just know how to read graphs)

PP here. Sure. Of course 20 year olds think we’re old. We are. The problem is boomers think we’re all clueless 23 year olds. They basically watch Girls and say “yup, that’s every single millennial.”

Cities up property values to reap more property taxes to pay for social services, schools, parks, streets.

I am an Xer. I like the millennials. I think they are moving us towards progress. I do feel bad for them. The Boomers really screwed them over and they weren’t ole enough to experience what I think was the last awesome, carefree decade of the 90s.

Lol yes girls did not do us any favors. And if I’m going to be part of the generation that takes no pleasure in criticizing another generation, I’m happy to do that.
