Gen X didn’t have it as good as boomers but they weren’t far off. - Lemmy.World

Looking at house prices in my area and who would have been buying at the time. Gen X were still at the tail-end of the golden age and it really is only millenials and the generations that follow that have had to deal with the actual hardships following the economic changes. I see Generation X try to inject themselves into the discussion and they really shouldn’t.

As a Gen-x I worked 2-3 jobs through my 20’s to get by.

So yea, maybe you need to not get your info from Facebook.

Your personal experience doesn’t reflect actual financial data. I mean this in good faith so please don’t don’t take it the wrong way, but I can literally prove that buying a house was incredibly more affordable for a huge number of Gen X compared to Millennials (and certainly Gen Z). The drop-off for the following generations is immense.
