    This is because the parents of Boomers invested in their children but Boomers did not invest in their children. We were shat out and expected to get a job and “just do it” without support.

      Xers tend to have the silent generation as parents unless they are younger ones. 20 years seperates generations which is getting to the time when folks have kids and boomers were the first to start putting it off till more like 30 than 20.

        Boomers produced a great number of Millenials even though the majority surely came from Gen X.

          basically X started in the 60’s so if they were impregnated before 80 it was likely illegal. Im sure though that plenty of older Xers had kids in their 20’s though.
