Another Gen X-er here... this was before my time, too.

Gen X here. Couldn’t buy a house until I was 35.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm 41 and we are two families crammed into one house.

[–] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

My next door neighbors are in the same situation

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.

[–] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 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.

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.

[–] leaf@feddit.nl -1 points 2 years ago

People still talking about Zoomers like they're children while the oldest of gen Alpha are 13.

[–] slugdriver@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes, but it happens very rarely. The last time was from an unrequited love

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sucks that she didn't love you back, but it was nice of her to still get you a good deal on the condo 🤷

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

I cry in the day time, too.
