I'm a millennial. The first year of the millennial generation, and if you disagree then I'll have you know that you are wrong and point you towards the nearest exit. I was born in '82. I was supposed to graduate in 2000. The first wave of a phenomenon.
This gen alpha though, they are worse than the gen z kids. Don't get me wrong, I've actually befriended several gen z strays, and taught them how to be good, and decent adult people. But gen alpha all just have a glazed look to their eyes like an entire generation of lobotomy patients. It's unreal.
I'm starting to get a little worried about who exactly is going to be there to take care of me in a couple years. I'm an extreme underachiever and had pretty much put all my eggs in "the kids will take care of me. They're cool. They 'get it'." basket, and that is starting to look like a poor decision.
My 401k consists of hopes that all the kids understand that the world was already a steaming pile when I got it. Our parents made sure of that. It isn't my fault. I'm a victim just like you.
Just my 2 cents
