Gen X is in their 50s right now. They are still trying to build wealth.
They never got a chance to lead since the Boomers never retired. We have to try and get positions that appear only when they die at an unnaturally old age. But too often the Boomers already wrecked everything.
You guys think what the boomers had was the baseline. It is not. It was unnatural and unsustainable. They got handed everything by the previous generations and squandered it. Maybe the generation being born in the 2070's will see something like that after the generations born in the 30's and 50's save every penny. Unlikely though.
Compare yourself with "normal" generations and learn how to live with gratitude because envy will poison your soul.
