Much respect for actually thinking for yourself rather than being a sheep. I think the norm for your generation is why there's such a back and forth between baby boomers and millennials.

My grandfather was born in 1917, I've heard way too many stories that make today look like a picnic. He was a toddler during the last pandemic, went through the depression, his unit of the 101st dropped into Bastogne, and worked until he was 70. My dad had a low draft number so never had to go but was hit really hard by the Carter economy and I remember being young during the '87 market crash... here was laid off 2 weeks later. I entered the job market the summer of '02 which those of you will remember wasn't the greatest after the 1-2 punch of the tech bubble bursting in 2000 and the 9/11 dip. My kids are still a decade from graduating college so hopefully we'll be out of this hole by then but I won't be shocked if we aren't.
