Gen X says not to take anything seriously.

We had a fridge that I remember from childhood that lasted for like 20+ years...completely rusted out...but still icy. The only issue was it wasn't a non-frost so it'd always be filled with ice.

I'm a Gen X raised by the Golden Gen, my sibs are mostly Boomers with just me and my brother being born Gen X. What do I miss? Not much. Lol, all my toys were essentially hand-me-downs - - tin rollerskates, the Schwinn bicycle, the Silverstone hi-fi stereo that had been rewired twice by my sibs by the time I inherited it when I was 14 and it was already 30 years old, wearing my friends hand-me-down clothes until I was taller than them. Christmas was the one time a year any of us received new clothes or toys, so I think my most coveted toy was my Easy Bake oven. I never had a Barbie doll or even the cheap knockoffs but my friends did. The first time I went to a McDonald's was when I was 11, with a friend's family and I was just amazed by it. My parents were just managing to feed us by putting food on the table from our garden, which all of us kids helped. I was canning vege for winter since I was 8 years old. Born Gen X but I lived like it was 1929.

It was great! No social media, no emails, no sms, YouTube, tiktac- - you could roam free and as far as your bike could take you without the police calling social services on your parents for neglect, and only had to be home for dinner when you were a kid. As an adult, you went to work you came home, you counted your children (if one was missing, you called around on the telephone, if you had too many you fed them and hoped they'd go home). A night in in the 90s was pizza or Chinese takeout and a few films from Blockbuster vidéo. Life was really, really good. No Netflix and chill-it was family oriented. Sometimes, my kids and I would pull out the n64 and play Mario Party.

It’s not too late.

No, you're not totally f##ked up, but l wish I could put my foot up your a##es like it was 1979. 😁
