      Yes, we gen-Xers got a lot of things for cheap or free, and we had a lot more opportunities for sure - and our boomer parents even more so - because we rode the tail end of the post-WW2 economic boom.

      I totally get the jealousy. What I don’t get is the hate: I can’t count the number of young people who actually hate me because I happen to have had it better than them. Sorry… It’s not like I planned it or anything, and I didn’t set out to ruin anybody’s life after me neither.

      I’ll have you know tuition was about $1500 to $1800 per year when I was university. I maxed out my loans and I had to pay $105/month for 10 years to pay back that $10k.ny interest rate was something like 9%.
