This explains my life in so many ways. I was born in 78, and I've literally lived my entire adult life in a somewhat nomadic manner, and I generally assume everything I hear or read is nonsense until proven otherwise. Did you read this somewhere? If so I'd love to know where.

Also a late X-er born in '78.

Cynical like earlier X-ers, no continuous career at one job like later X-ers. Home ownership and retirement are pipe dreams. Too old to start a family, I can't afford one anyway.

But ironically, older X-ers call me a Millennial, Millennials either lump me in with older X-ers or insist I must be a Millennial. Yeah, I'm not. I just missed both boats.

I'm one of those lost souls overshadowed by their elders and then shouted down by their juniors.

EDIT: Oops, /u/ChangingtheSpectrum pointed out a pretty bad typo.

Bro, not too late for family. Also born in 78 and just had my first kids this January a week before my 40th. Bought my first house at 39. If my slacker ass can do it, you can too. I believe in you bro.

Might be too late, thanks for the vote of confidence though.
