Experiences as part of generation X.

As a person born in 1972, I’m considered to be part of generation X. We are children of the boomers, who didn’t take no for an answer, EVER! And they expected us to do what they didn’t necessarily get to do. Get a full education, get married, have kids, have the house and mortgage, and the cars and the pets, and the blah, blah, blah, blah. These things are all quite wonderful, but the last eight years have been completely non-supportive of these “right and correct choices” made by a generation of very educated and motivated people.

So what are we to do now? Yeah, for all of us that voted …… and got someone with a functioning brain to lead our government and listen to the citizens …. go, OBAMA, go!!!

The drastic measures that my husband and family and myself have had to take in order to survive through this horrific administration have been unlike anything I could imagine happening to US citizens. Having no job support, and yet the government wants to give people more credit???? Isn’t this how we got here in the first place? Isn’t doing the same thing over and over again when it doesn’t work considered to be “insanity”?

I know I’m venting. But our motivation to work and earn a respectable living in the wealthiest country in the world needs to be honored!
