Gen X turned out to be a bit of a bust didn't it? I mean, we were supposed to be the 1st generation worse off than our parents. But really, can you think of anyone worse off than our parents? None of my friends knocked up their girlfriends at the age nineteen, for a start. Sure, some of them did later but not at nineteen. I also don't know anyone that's been forced to feed their children a vile mixture of mashed potatoes, cheap ground beef and Veg-All (if you don't know what that is consider yourself blessed) and try to pretend it’s health food. All we've got is 10% unemployment and that's affecting the boomers more than us anyway. Maybe in a way, the Gen-X moniker was a blessing in disguise. Maybe, devoid of expectations we've been able to do more or less what we’ve wanted to. After all, why not? We were screwed anyways. Weren't we?
