Generation Wrecked

Ryosen writes "Fortune magazine has an interesting article discussing how members of Generation X (those born between 1966 and 1975) have been damaged by the fall of the economy and the life-long ramifications of the dot.com boom-bust, stating 'No generation since the Depression has been set up for failure like this.' Particularly disturbing is the statement 'Worse yet, for some Gen Xers, their peak earning years are behind them. Buried in college and credit card debt, a lot of them won't be able to catch up as they approach their prime spending years.' Are the best years of our lives truly behind us?"

Plus, there's the eternal damnation thing awaiting all the pagans and heretics, too.

You know what? It's your parent's money to do with as they please. My parent's put me through college and they are doing just fine. They aren't living high on the hog, but they're comfortable.

Oh wait though, by your definition, everyone over 40 is a greedy miser that does nothing but steal from you...

Please. Get off your a$$ and make your own living.
