Well, I didn&#x27;t say that Gen X got nothing at all. We all got hurt in some way by the GFC. Of course to generalise about an entire generation people is egregiously pointless. At the same time, simply due to the luck of timing, it feels as though Gen X had more of a chance to do something about it. However, they did not and in fact they had much more of an opportunity to take advantage of the selfish and short-sighted policies perpetrated during the previous era. They, at the very least, had the potential to come out of it with at least some decent sum of assets. Meanwhile, here we are with a completely upside down economy left to us in tatters and we&#x27;ve no inheritance to help us. Of course, millennials feel shortchanged in a very real sense, we were the hardest hit, we have had little to no chance to do anything about it and we&#x27;ll likely be known as the impoverished generation -- much like the lost generation, except this time with <i>economic</i> warfare as the driver.
