Darth, you pop up in these threads a lot and tend to stick on the offensive. I may have missed it but I've never seen you claim a generation, just shitting on millennialis and boomers. Can you please tell us what generation you belong to and why it is or isn't shitty?

His generation voted for Obama in both elections too.

I was born in 1970. I'm gen x, sandwiched between the boomers and Millenials. And from the outside looking in at those two generations, they're very much alike. As for my generation, we're not perfect either.

Millenials are just trading school debt for house debt. 30-yr mortgages are a cancer.
Most of the millennials I know are very anti-debt. Like Dave Ramsey serious about it.
I understand that the few that get crap degrees give the rest a bad name, but how many parents do you know that tell their kids NOT to go to college?
In the work environment with so many boomers refusing to retire, millenials have to be over-qualified to compete with the vast experience of people 30 years older than them.
You'll see. Anti-debt. Fiscal conservative. Socially moderate to liberal. They might be ok.

In these thread, like irl you always hear/read-
Boomers are the worst generation that screwed everything up, and the millennials are either entitled spoiled young adults in debt or are those who have limited opportunities and drowning in student debt.
How did generation X skate by?

It's pretty common these days for the media to make fun of millennials. But back in the 1990s, the previous generation, Generation X, got much the same treatment. They were slackers, they were entitled, blah blah blah.
In truth, members of Generation X -- Americans born between 1965 and 1980 -- earn substantially more money than their parents did at the same point in their lives. That is one conclusion of a report by the Pew Charitable Trusts from September, which tracked Generation X households and compared them with their parents at similar ages.
Pew found that the typical Gen-X household makes about $12,000 more than its parents' household did at the same age, after adjusting for inflation and changes in household size. That also dispels the slacker myth, since much of that gain has come from increased amounts of paid work. Total labor force participation has risen strongly during most of their working lifetimes.
