Another Gen X-er here... this was before my time, too.
Gen X here. Couldn’t buy a house until I was 35.
Millennial here. Over half of my friends will never own a house. And we are in the cheapest part of Canada to buy houses in.
Well. At least we both will never get to retire!
Spent all of my retirement savings to buy 1/4 of a house that will take 30 years to pay off. If I'm lucky I can start saving again when I'm 65.
I work union. I will be able to retire. But only because I work for a union.
I'm 41 and we are two families crammed into one house.
My next door neighbors are in the same situation
I'm a millennial but I was gonna say this meme would be more appropriate if you replaced millennial with Gen X, you guys got the shit end of the stuck just like the rest of us unfortunately.
They got more affordable housing than we did though. Young millennials have to deal with $500K+ houses, but genX had $100-200K houses throughout the 90s and early 00s during a booming economy.
Nothing like boomers though, with their cheap ass sub $100K houses.
There is no genx community on Lemmy and the sub was interesting. Does anyone want to make a community for it?
That would take effort. Does anyone from GenX really wanna do that?
Dammit, would it be wrong for this millennial to make it the?
As someone in that weird space of end GenX/too early to be Millennial, I support you.
Do it. We all watched Field of Dreams.
I was wrong. It exists, my instance jus hadn't federated with it yet. I should have checked
Will do. Unfortunately my instance temporarily blocked immunity creation and I don't want more centralization on Lemmy.world I kind of like the idea of genx being on sh.itjust.works so I'll just wait.
Pain
We zoomers are no little kids to you.
I know! You're voting and shit and actively taking part in kicking societal norms in the junk. As a millenial I'm ~~sooting~~ rooting for you to keep it up.
People still talking about Zoomers like they're children while the oldest of gen Alpha are 13.
Sometimes, but it happens very rarely. The last time was from an unrequited love
Sucks that she didn't love you back, but it was nice of her to still get you a good deal on the condo 🤷
not so much crying. just profuse sweating, dreams of falling, freezing cold or getting burned or just waiting in an afterlife room like beetlejuice, or punching the air and the pillows
I cry in the day time, too.
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
