You know, Gen X had a shit run at life. It was the first time in modern Western history that things got worse: cost of living vs. wages, rolling economic recessions, high unemployment, overall quality of life reduced, lowered life expectancy, etc. But each generation, or partial generation, has had it worse than I did. I feel sorry for you guys. But that's not to say that you can't enjoy life. We were told that if we didn't know what we were doing in life by 27-28 yrs old, we were fucked. You guys get an extension on that allowance. At 25, I was teaching ESL in Japan. My cousin, who is the same age as me, went to Australia on a once-in-a-lifetime 1-year work/travel Visa. That Visa still exists between Canada and Australia except the age limit has been raised from 25 to 30. Back then, the main stipulations were that you didn't have an extensive criminal record and that you had $5K in the bank.
