    You understand that gen x starts around 1965, right? Your stat says they’re mostly getting fucked too.

      I’m on the cusp of X and millennial, so I’ve been around plenty of both.

      Some X’s have done well for themselves, but those without a bit of luck and assistance have mostly had to give up on big dreams of housing security and family.

      Millennials have had it tougher, but many of them still got there, with a bit more luck and assistance.

      It’s been a long decline, with the concentration of capital making it harder for most of us every year. The generational divide is just another distraction from class warfare.

      And you understand that 68 is after 65? They’re not getting. Fucked, they’re the last ones to be able to afford housing ownership. If the average is 68 that means one side of the bell curve extends well into the generation.
