“Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they’re not as well off as the Boomers.”
Born in 71 from older parents who had raised my boomer siblings, once I became an adult I found out the world was not what I was prepared for. Long story short, I was able to start putting away for retirement 3 years ago. So yeah, I’ll hopefully have some money for an emergency, but not counting on actually getting to retire till my 70’s, health permitting.
Well there are plenty of exceptions that might mean certain Gen Xers aren’t in the workforce (pervasive mental illness in my case), but the cut-off was 1980 - 45 long years ago - so we’re all middle-aged now.
Sure, the oldest end is still boomers, but I don’t think my statement was completely inaccurate.
Are those the ones who made skbidi or whatever that thing was popular? then they can fuck right off. There’s no hope left for them.
I had to look that up which is probably the entire reason you posted. Far worse than a Rick roll. I’ll never get that image out of my head.
Per the wiki, it’s Gen Alpha that loves it.
No, GenX is the reason scifi is such a thing now. Raised on the original Star Wars and Star Trek, starved for more, now producing more.
Skibidi Toilet was created by someone born in 1997, which is Gen Z.
Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they’re not as well off as the Boomers.

Edit: for some reason, fedia.io isn’t turning that into a link, so it might not show up properly elsewhere. Copy+paste works.

TIL I’m the “older end of the workforce.” Who knew?
You would if you’d have paid attention somewhere in the last 30 years
