'[I had] no debt at 30': Gen Xer empathizes with the millennial plight, going viral for admiring their resilience, while reminiscing on the 'good ol' days'
It's no secret that millennials got dealt a pretty terrible hand in the game of cards called life.

For those of you who don't sympathize with a generation of grown up emo's battling a lifetime of student debt and jobless futures to fit their master's degree, that's okay. There's one man on the internet, a Gen Xer, who recently went viral on Reddit after empathizing with an entire generation, lamenting over their struggles and reminiscing on the golden days of his own past.
