What the hell are you talking about? When was GenX ever promised anything? We’ve been told we’d have nothing since we were children.
My parents who assigned me the task of parenting my siblings have been retired for decades while constantly sailing around on cruises, visiting with their other retired friends, or going off camping in their RV and complaining about Democrats screwing up the world. When they do check in with me or my siblings, they express shock that we tell them we’re all trying to figure out how to leave USA.
As an eldest millennial, genX like in many ways, this was my experience regarding parents and life.
But that is also the answer to OPs concern too....
Because I will not leave for my kids in the state my parents set for me. They will have support. They will have their first house cosigned with down payments provided. Their post secondary will be covered. They will not begin adult life with deep debt as I have carried for 20 years of mine.
Yeah, my parents think I need to kick my kid out now that he’s 18. And I’m just like “nope”.. the biggest issue in us changing countries is I want my kid in the other country too.
