My wife and I grew up in Joshua Tree in the 70s and 80s. We both moved back separately, reconnected, got married, and now we're building an off-grid cabin in our happy place.
This is worthy of a smirk or two. I found it wildly inaccurate pretty much across the board. Gen X was raised to expect nothing in the way of inheritance. Most of us do not have pensions despite the article's insistence that they are "common" for our generation. I don't believe that Gen X totally ignored savings and investments for retirement--that distinction goes to the Boomers according to every study I've seen. And how is Gen X not part of the "student loan generation?" My degrees were 100% self-financed and I finally paid them off in my late 40s. Maybe this article is more accurate for the UK than the US.
