Bleh. I have no idea what happened to some Gen Xers (and honestly I have the same question about some boomers, and have had these questions since the 80s, really), but I guess it proves the point that generations are not really a “thing” as much as marketers would like them to be.

I read that Gen Y are now better off than other generations were at the current stage in their lives, so I bet they might swing more conservative (the “I got mine” thing), possibly: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/the-dramatic-turnaround-in-millennials-finances/ar-AA1oKIcC

If the same happens to Gen Z, it is possible that these two generations might be even worse than boomers or Xers…but only time will tell.
