      So much alcoholism. And 2008 happening in their prime earning years caused several gen X’ers I know to never recover financially.

        We bought a house in 2007, I’ve been stuck there ever since. It’s a freaking money pit, and not nearly big enough. Can’t afford to move though. Paying it off is my only hope for any kind of retirement.
