[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also dealt with rapidly rising house prices (as did Millenials but they had much much richer parents who could help them out).

Layoffs were the norm for our generation, as our parents were the first to experience them and being unemployable at middle age and the fall out from that. [/quote]

My husband and I are millennials and received zero help from our parents to buy a house. [/quote]

Millennial, this actually isn't about you. But thanks for chiming in with your anecdote. [/quote]

Yeah except a pp directly called millennials out. Gen x is if anything more deranged and selfish than the boomers, because they are so called "latchkey kids" who "take care of themselves" - why would they take care of anyone else when they "made it" taking care of themselves [/quote]

Exactly. I took care of myself and my siblings because my mom worked full time and my dad lived I another state.  We would stay home all day by ourselves sometimes during summer vacation and my mom would periodically call to make sure we were still alive.

They took care of themselves because they had poorer parents who left them to fend for themselves. Outcomes for more hardship doesn’t translate to more wealth. [/quote][/quote]
