I suggest that all you gen-x slackers stop whining, learn to change your own diapers, get off the couch (or keyboard) and get a second job if you are not educated enough or qualified enough to fund all you need in life with the one that you have.

But as the article points out, Generation X is saving more than the Baby Boomers at the same age.  It's the anticipation of the Baby Boomer whining (and wow can they whine!) 10 to 20 years from now that we're worried about!

We could fund a lot more and devote more time to family (though a lot of geezers only give lip service to "family values") if the geezers weren't using 15% of our paychecks as spending money.

Gen-x whiners?? LOL...This Gen-xer owned her first home at 18. Without the help of my boomer parents. However I have seen quite a few friends enabled to be slackers by the liberal boomer love fest parents. You have to admit the majority of that generation are liberals and it is the Gen-xers that are bringing conservative values back to the country. JMHO.
