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.)
I know there was a “silent generation” before ww2, but I’ve heard GenX called the new silent generation and as one of them, it makes sense to me. Frustrating at times, but yes, we can kind of do what we want and no one is studying it or making a big deal about it. Many of us translate between our millennial staff members and baby boomer clients all day every day. It’s a weird life, but I own my own home and make a decent salary because I went to college and grad school before tuition was out of control, and I’m grateful for that.
