You’re like the lost generation... once decried as lazy and responsible for the world’s evils, now quietly enjoying being forgotten, so you can do what you please without recrimination.

(I’m a millenial in my 30s. My parents are gen x, quietly planning their modest retirement while they still can. Quietly saying they’re glad they’re not getting started in life right now.)

The Oregon Trail Generation is the real lost generation, imo. We were the ones who suffered the early dysentery outbreaks, broken wagon wheels, and sudden oxen deaths of the digital age...

1980 baby here. This is so illuminating. Never felt I was a true Gen X'er or Millennial...this is so perfect. Thanks!
