[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to every GenXer. Reality Bites and selling out?  The only reason most are okay are because they bought homes before 2000; late GenX are kind of screwed. [/quote]

This is me. [/quote]

Sorry OP, GenX, especially those who were too young to buy homes but crimped by age discrimination in their 30s to join the tech revolution (2007, a 22-year-old Mark Zuckerberg famously stated in an interview at Y Combinator's Startup School, "Young people are just smarter.") beat you to the pity party.

Our theme song is probably "I'm a loser, Baby"

[i]Loser (Gen X Anniversary Remix)
In the time of dial-up, I was a teenage king
With a chain on my wallet and a mood-stone ring
Now my back alignment is a total crime
And I’m paying off a mortgage for the second time
Got a closet full of flannel that I can't throw away
And a DVD of Clerks that I still play
Suntan lotion on my receding hair
While the algorithms track me from my office chair
Termite damage in the corporate ladder
Does it even matter? No, it doesn't matter
Got a LinkedIn profile full of fake degrees
And a mild intolerance to artisanal cheese.

I’m a loser, baby, so why don’t you kill me?
I’m a loser, baby, so why don’t you kill me?[/i]
