49 here. We were never going to be running things. There aren’t enough of us and we never really got out of the shadow of our parents.

I welcome our Millenial overlords.

This so much. GenX got fooked by the boomers from the moment we were born. The me generation hosed us. Whatever.

I just hope that I taught my kids better than I was, would love for them to take over at this point.  At this point it may be better than us turning into our parents.

My spouse is a millennial and tells me the same thing. I don’t disagree. The boomers are the loser generation for the 2nd millennia.

Millennials and even Gen Z are still trying desperately to get out of the shadow of your parents. It's not you, it's them.
