You're gonna be downvoted into oblivion, but you are 100% on the $$$. And Gen X here. 1981.
And I’m a millennial born 1991. But I hate my generation. I started working summers on the farm at 10 years old and bought all my own vehicles growing up. I could rebuild an engine at 15. My dad, a Gen Xer, raised me properly and I thank him for it

Hell I was crossing international borders in my car at 18 without any sense of it being unusual
I was talking to my neighbor and his Jr in HS last night. The kid doesn’t fart without his parents knowing. I was telling the kid that I went to Mexico on a class trip when I was 17 with like 50 friends and ZERO adults for 5 days and he didn’t believe me. I told him my mom gave me some travelers checks and told me to call her collect on the middle day I was there to let her know I was alive.

Last generation to experience anything worth a frick. Everything is downhill from here. I'm almost happy that when I'm gone these turds will "have nothing and be happy." Eating bug based protein bars, living in a hovel, wearing a VR headset plugged into "Meta" almost all day long.
Sounds like hell. Glad I'll be gone.

Half of its parents are divorced or separated. Many were “latchkey kids,” fending for themselves after school.

We were the most under- parented generation in modern American history. Which is why we matured early, valued freedom and kind of didn’t give a frick. I raised myself from 12 on . The shite we did, kids today don’t believe. Half of us had the freedom of adulthood right after puberty.I loved out a few months after turning 18 and never looked back. Hell I was crossing international borders in my car at 18 without any sense of it being unusual.
My mom tells me all the time that we raised each other. She’s shocked now when I tell her stories of what we did all day while she was at work but it all seemed perfectly fine to me back then.
The older brothers on the block made sure the girls were safe. If anyone messed with us they would be surrounded by a large group of bicycles and run off. We ran in packs that were usually based on neighborhoods with a decent age range through the group. We watched out for each other and did some really crazy things but no one ended up permanently maimed or emotionally scarred. We really had the best childhood.

Not uncommon for moms to lock kids out for the day. My first wife lived in a rural area, her mom would lock them out.

The amount of dangerous shite we did as kids was completely over the top. Probably 90% or more of it nowadays would get you arrested and/or taken away from your parents by CPS. You know, shite that was fun.
Right? Setting fire to a field in the 80s and 90s may get the cops called on you. Today you're put on an anti-terrorism black list.

Me and my 2 sisters stayed home all summer by ourselves when we were like 12, 10 and 8. No requirement to stay inside either.

They'll find out they didn't abort enough of us. Watched Scooby Doo on a black and white TV as a yute. Now stream pron in 4k. GenX doesn't care about anything. Until they do.

The last generation to experience the analog world.
Boomers were still making lame "lol you don't know what a book is" in political cartoons when we were kids. Now they ask us to fix their phones or computer.

Yep. It taught responsibility at a young age, you had get yourself out of a lot of jams. So many moms stayed home during the day back then that there was a phone network if something went awry.
Those eyes mom had in the back of her head was actually attached to many other heads

How is someone born in 1980 Gen X and not a millennial?

Fyi. Black and white is superior to color when you can't dial out the snow. Even with a uhf fine adjust knob.

Their parents aborted them. Do you think they would have been more likely to end up paying taxes or getting handouts
A lot of abortions were (and are) by middle/upper middle/upper class, educated white women.

We did so much shite that kids aren't allowed to do today -- mostly because we were unsupervised.
I was born in 77 but got to be honest, my kids and even their friends were rarely supervised. They all ran around till after dark and kids in our neighborhood still do the same thing
