Neither did the vast majority of Gen-X. The cocaine 80's is peak Boomer shit.

EDIT: I was born in 73. Started uni in 90. Let's say you wanted to ride that mid 80's wave, you should have been in the workforce by 84, that puts you born ~63. By the majority of lists, Gen-X starts on 65.

    Yeah. I went to school with rich kids who were suddenly worried about whether daddy could pay for college after that 1987 crash.

    Yeah, 1988-1996 was pretty bad. It was my computer hobby that saved my life. No idea where I'd be today had I not turned my side hustle into a career.
