re: If Baby boomers and Gen X ruined this country

How much debt are you in?

Counting my mortgage and truck, less than $100K. If everything goes as planned, I should be debt free by the time I hit 50.

My issue with the Boomers is their inability to control government spending.

Yet Millennials are voting for politicians who want more?

It's not a generational thing, it's a government thing and it's going to get worse until the economy crashes. In 20 years the millennials will be complaining about the shitbags in their 20's just like every generation has, and they'll be talking about how worthless y'all are.

If the people I vote for would win and then do what they say all these years the govt wouldn't be $20t in debt.

But go to the poli board and from the left side it is nothing but "whoopie the person who is going to spend the most is ahead"

Because Millennials didn't learn how to write a fricking paragraph.

I have a ton of student debt....more than 60k and im not complaining.

Most aren't complaining. Most are keeping their heads down and doing what they have to do to get ahead. But you know, 100% of us are lazy entitled pieces of shite apparently.

Gen X had nothing to do with this stuff going on now.

The baby boomers are the ones running the show and making the laws that have this country in the shape that it's in now.

I'm a millennial and just want to take the opportunity to say I make $500k, my wife makes $70k as a teacher, and we both drive early 90s Camrys. We keep socking money away and live in a garage apartment. Both of us graduated college debt free because we worked through school. I work 110-120 hours a week.

I just can't understand why Millennials and boomers suck so bad guys it's a joke

I would reply but I'm afraid it might offend you. You may just need a timeout in your safe space.

IS this the thread where we talk about Gen-x without knowing what it is?

I'll tell you what it is. Its mostly people who were forced to raise themselves because mom and dad both had to work. We didnt have all the distractions: internet, cell phones etc..for at least most of our lives. Yes you can live without them. We actually played sports as kids: baseball, basketball during the summers. We mostly had about 6 channels to watch for our early teens well unless dad had a huge satellite in the back yard. Sure college was cheaper than today but we didnt have Tops scholarship to help pay for it. Hell Gen-X is the just do-it generation. We the barry Sanders of life. We score a touchdown(go to work) and we give the ball to the ref we dont dance and say look at me!(Millennials). I'm not saying we all like this but thank god we are here because we are the buffer between two prima donna's (boomers and Millennials)!

All I know is that so far it has been incredibly easy to advance faster and farther in life compared to whiny bitches like you.

To be fair to the OP, it entirely depends on what industry you're in.

I'm in construction. The last company I worked for I was the youngest person there by almost 20 years. The majority of people in this industry are still 50+ years, although its getting better. For things to really even out, the boomers are going to have to finally retire to open up positions for people my age. Its still an old mans business.
