'[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'

Gen X may be the ‘forgotten generation' but perhaps that's because they led chill, undramatic lives as society's middle child. Back when Gen X kids were young, they enjoyed an Internet-free existence, could still get a job with a firm handshake, and could afford to go to college while working as a server and living in an affordable apartment.
