Gen Xer here and I’ve been doing so much better in the last four years than I ever have, also my wife and I have been married for 24 years now and going strong.
The past 3 years I went from $17/hr. In a skilled trade too $27/hr. all because my value went up. These skilled trade businesses can't find anyone even to train.
Same here. I've been a carpenter for 25 years and always hovered between 20-25/hr. This year I'm at 35/hr. And most of the carpenters that work with me are in there early to late 40s. We have 2 laborers that are in there late 20s. No skilled workers under 40. It's scary for the future but great for us !!
Lmao I also went from 17-27, problem is now you got helpers making 20-22 and you can’t hire Foreman for less than $35 an hour. Can’t just keep raising minimum wage and not expect everything to re-rate.
I’m sure this guy has made front of or made some kind of judgment about some people appearances growing up then and now why his energy and vibration and universe and his spirit if you know about it, however how you can take him seriously by his looks and appearance and a slight arrogance/ego…..he might be a troll 🧌 for the establishment to seed’s people weaknesses……the truth is stranger than fiction it’s obvious and just plain common sense and real street smart and true spirit with discernment
I've been married twice. My first wife died (married in 88) 14 years into our marriage. I was a single dad six years. I sucker it up and also was career military. No crying, I'm the backup! I remarried in the last 5 years. My wife is now 40 and we have 4 year old fraternal twins. Oh, my two other kids baby sit lol (34 and 32, married and I have 4 grands) We're one big happy non whiny family
I am at the very young and range of Gen X. I had a few tough years, but I’m absolutely smashing it financially right now. Should do about 400 K this year.
Gen x married 30 years, stayed home with kids when they were young left work in 2010 and couldn’t get hired for at least 8 years because of my age. I had given up but I think I may be able to get hired now because of the labor need
You're right. You can get hired quick now. Remember though, the leverage is shifting your way now. Don't put up with crap. Demand for labor is up, but the supply of quality labor is not there. If you have real skills, get paid right. Godspeed.
Dude my whole life I slaved away for 8/ hour, and so I moved finally. Now geography is a big deal, but man I went from 14/hr to between 25 to 30 all because of dudes retiring.

You're right. No one wants to work hard. People want to work smart. Because working hard is easily automated, and working smart is just getting automated now.

"Not us for us our time is at least as important as our money" right on. "Even if every Gen Xer wanted to work , and we do not" right on. I think being forced to adapt and seeing things different from Boomers has helped us Gen X generally have a more free outlook. Thats also contributing to why our outlook appears to be improving in major ways.

I graduated college at 22. Had to have a roommate and live in HUD housing for two years, even working in the industry of my degree. I’m GenX. Young ppl need to understand that most ppl have to sacrifice when they are young to have when they are old. Doesn’t work the other way around.

Nah, it's because the women of the generation aren't worth investing in. Most are Egotistical, selfish, manipulative, borderline abusive and don't know how/refuse to remain faithful to a potential partner. It's just not worth it anymore.
It's becas women's ability to choose to have a relationship is better than ever before. Men have as a group set the bar on the floor and many men trip over it.
@@calummacgregor589 what is this India ? Go somewhere else with that. Look up how many single dudes are addicted to porn, and look up how many how mothers are raising their child without the child’s biological father. If many men are choosing porn over women, and many women are single mothers during a recession , tell me where you think women are getting all these options from ? DEBUNKED!
I've been treated so badly by employers that I'm done and out of the game despite the fact I love to work and contribute so I'm happy the tables are turning and people are now leaving bad employers instead of putting up with them 👍 They deserve to feel the heat 🔥
COVID was pretty brutal for my industry with a lot of small businesses going bankrupt or getting acquired. Now I work at a Big Business making about the same as when I started working after college...
i literally went from 14$/hr to 25$/hr in a year. im a millennial, the company i work for, hell the industry cant find anyone to even train so suck on that one
We rebelled against what marriage was in the 40's and 50's, it was a change that needed to happen because women were oppressed in horrific ways. Then we became families where both parents worked and that turned out to have severe issues that hurt families. I hope the next generation finds the sweet spot, but be grateful to those before you who were aiming for better on an unknown path. Good things came of it, but now it's time to adjust now that we know the pitfalls.
Being taken care of and protected while not having to trade hours for dollars so you can have an easy life is not oppression when all you have to do to get it is a bit of cooking and providing moist orifices for fun times. Go ahead though, life a man's life, live it alone, unwanted, invisible, with your 50 cats and boxed wine. Work until you expire, and lament the fact nobody comes to see you when your time is up, because you squandered a family for money. The majority of men through all of history never had a wife or family, they went through life and died alone, nameless, and invisible on battlefields, job sites, and to disease. You want that life to feel empowered, hey I am not gonna stop you. Don't come crying to us when you find out it sucks.
@@buddyrevell511 So when my father died, women couldn't get credit cards, so even though it was my mom who managed the finances of the household for 17 years, and manage money well, their credit card was cancelled and so was her car insurance. Also back then, a man could beat his wife with no legal consequences and there were no women's shelters. Women were paid half of what men were for the same job because women supposedly didn't need to support a family, so this made it very difficult for women to leave abusive husbands, they literally had no means to leave, not to mention many careers weren't open to women and women couldn't get any loans to buy a car without a man to cosign. You didn't live that recent history so clearly you don't know about it and haven't studied it.
As a GEN X couple married 34 years my husband and I see that a major component in careers and marriage is absolutely no critical thinking skills in younger generations. As a couple we grew up together, went to college together worked hard and struggled but we were happy together. We had common sense which doesn’t to be so common anymore.
My one pet peeve. When using the "low man on the totem pole" line. The lowest is the most important person! The highest is the least important. Look it up!
Cool video I was working two jobs my main job let me go in nov 2022 afraid I was going to fall break a hip. So I have 5 days off a week money is a little tight but enjoy my five days off lol
It’s great if you have a high paying job. The more they raise minimum wage, the more taxes they take out of your paycheck. -For the rest of us who barely make enough to live on. I am 46, and I am a grocery cashier. We, don’t make very much.
Gen X is just more intelligent, more responsible, more respectful. Little of the ridiculous cynicism of the generations after and the narcissism of the boomers.
the reason for the high divorce rate is women's empowerment and the current generation having less divorces is bc they learned. they're getting married less and being less committal to a woman. the risk isn't worth the pay off anymore
Bullshit! Nothing more effeminate than a whiney incel. Keep telling yourself it's the woman's fault and not take any responsibility for your own life. Nobody owes you anything!
Gen xers here. Married 34 years. Very true. Our labour worth has tripled in the last few years. You can pick and choose what you want to do for a job...
Sadly the Xers in other parts of the world are not this lucky. Where I live we Xers have not seen raises in a long time, and some fields have not seen a net raise since 1998...
“And we don’t....” (want to work). How do you EAT and pay RENT if you don’t work? Moms basement? What killed the boomers was the 2006-2016 depression. AND IT WAS A DEPRESSION. Trust me. This is coming from a father of 5 teens whose job was outsourced to India in 2008 and lost our house in 2011. Never ever recovered and this led to divorce (millions of divorces) . I was 48 when I was laid off of you couldn’t sell apples in 2008....
The individual was raised up to be more important than society, rather than a dialogue. Until the last 20 tears every previous generation worked for future generations. It's very different today.
Other factors in Boomers had higher divorce rate relate more to "no fault" divorce law changes and getting married when they didn't really want to. While GenX and millennials just no getting married to begin with.
Well I'm a millennial and my salary is also almost quadrupled compared to 10 years ago but its hardly surprising. I started as a holiday worker with 0 experience in the field and now I'm a senior specialist with a degree in material science who also sits on the work council and I'm the ARBO(OSHA) advisor for my employer.
I'm the youngest at the end of the millennial generation, I have been working in corporate America for 6 years because I had to support myself from the time I was 19 and by age 20 started a real career and it's been good, but not as good as this guy is saying. I have been able to take care of myself and not go under, that's where I am at with 6 years of experience and developing my skills. I think it's the knowing when and how to ask for more when I add more value.
It's going to get better every year. Not under the build.back.better regime. The majority of money has been printed in just the last couple of years since the fed reserve started. Inflation out of control. Sending billions abroad.
Yep. But there are a few additional calcs that go into this that are not included in this emotional stand. Bottom line: it’s what the individual is willing to learn and put into their own growth. Victim hood is not an asset. It is an excuse
Singleness was nearly impossible for most women until relatively recently, in the 70's and 80's due to pay disparities, women not being allowed to have credit cards, or to sign for loans and many other types of contracts.
I’m recently retired and it was the best decision I have made for myself in my lifetime. My goal was to retire in 2024, but something happened… I woke the fck up! As I’ve gotten older, I realized I was between a rock and a hard place, meaning the boomers who were getting too old to do parts of their job efficiently and wouldn’t let go and millennials/genZ who don’t care about doing their jobs efficiently and then walk away only to be replaced by another one. The pandemic, and working from home for three years did a number on me. I almost lost my sanity.
Gen X - followed the Boomer plan. Went to college. Two terminal degrees. Worked for 20 years in a field that did not provide sustainable income and I was basically looking for work every 5 months. My degrees were IN that field. During COVID, was hired into an industry that needed my skillset and now I make twice as much as I ever did. Full benefits. Regular raises. Well respected. Also, happily married for 12 years, together for 20. So maybe he has a point!
Millennial here, 32 year old and I’m loving the lazy cohorts of all ages allowing me to become a hot, and increasingly hotter commodity. Skilled tradesman in the electrical field, went from $30 to $50 in about a 2 year 😂❤
Feeling the oxygen being depraved out my body at the gym like a creatine crash until i feel exhausted, I now realize why everyone had black eye s whom of moving forward in life 20 year s ago
We have the best salary raises, but we have the greatest inflation and rise of prices too Salary goes x1.5 but groceries at least doubled, houses pretty much doubled on top of inflation, cars are x1.5 plus average of 6% interest (when there even one available) Yeaaah, we have it so much better 🙄
You’re right. Job/economic insecurity and modern feminism are the leading reasons for that divorce rate. These are the most of the reasons for the MGTOW movement (aka “Men Going Their Own Way”). A LOT of U.S. men in Gen X ranks have simply checked out of those untrustworthy pursuits after decades of betrayal.
It's the repeat offenders that really tell the story. 1st marriages have the lowest divorce rate in America (less than 25%). It's the folks who get married more than once who make up a greater and greater percentage of divorces. 2nd marriages have a higher rate of divorce than 1st marriages, 3rd higher than 2nds, 4th higher than 3rds, etc
Hmmm I am a "baby boomer" being born in 1951. My brother was born in 1949. He never got divorced, though he died at 42. I have been married for 50 years to my one and only. No divorce here. My baby sister was born 6 years after me. 1956 actually, but she was not a boomer. She is the only divorcee in our family. She has been divorced 5 times! It is not the boomers in our family but the next generation. Baby boom was right after WWII in 1948 through the early 1950s, when the soldiers came home, that was the baby boom... I barely was a boomer being born in 1951

Nah, it's because the women of the generation aren't worth investing in. Most are Egotistical, selfish, manipulative, borderline abusive and don't know how/refuse to remain faithful to a potential partner. It's just not worth it anymore.
It's becas women's ability to choose to have a relationship is better than ever before. Men have as a group set the bar on the floor and many men trip over it.
@@calummacgregor589 what is this India ? Go somewhere else with that. Look up how many single dudes are addicted to porn, and look up how many how mothers are raising their child without the child’s biological father. If many men are choosing porn over women, and many women are single mothers during a recession , tell me where you think women are getting all these options from ? DEBUNKED!
👍🏾🤣😂
They know better than Gen X does.
I'm 46, never married and retired at 44. My time is far more important. U got it right
Makes sense, i was able to negotiate a $2 raise ever 9 months because no one wants to do this job anymore
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” - Mark Twain
What is the lie?
@@valar_euphoriants5898 Statistics are rarely accurate and can be easily manipulated. You should take them with a grain of salt.
You didn’t make a coherent
Point.
Statistics doesn't lie, some people lie and use statistics to back it up.
Oh no!! Peter has gone Pulp-Fiction on us!
I thought for a moment there he might start singing “You Never Can Tell”.
income is part of the reason to avoid having children. you have to have enough money to do the right thing by your kids.
I've been treated so badly by employers that I'm done and out of the game despite the fact I love to work and contribute so I'm happy the tables are turning and people are now leaving bad employers instead of putting up with them 👍
They deserve to feel the heat 🔥
COVID was pretty brutal for my industry with a lot of small businesses going bankrupt or getting acquired. Now I work at a Big Business making about the same as when I started working after college...
i literally went from 14$/hr to 25$/hr in a year. im a millennial, the company i work for, hell the industry cant find anyone to even train so suck on that one
We rebelled against what marriage was in the 40's and 50's, it was a change that needed to happen because women were oppressed in horrific ways. Then we became families where both parents worked and that turned out to have severe issues that hurt families. I hope the next generation finds the sweet spot, but be grateful to those before you who were aiming for better on an unknown path. Good things came of it, but now it's time to adjust now that we know the pitfalls.
Being taken care of and protected while not having to trade hours for dollars so you can have an easy life is not oppression when all you have to do to get it is a bit of cooking and providing moist orifices for fun times.
Go ahead though, life a man's life, live it alone, unwanted, invisible, with your 50 cats and boxed wine. Work until you expire, and lament the fact nobody comes to see you when your time is up, because you squandered a family for money.
The majority of men through all of history never had a wife or family, they went through life and died alone, nameless, and invisible on battlefields, job sites, and to disease. You want that life to feel empowered, hey I am not gonna stop you. Don't come crying to us when you find out it sucks.
Horrific ways? Oh give me an effing break.
@@buddyrevell511 So when my father died, women couldn't get credit cards, so even though it was my mom who managed the finances of the household for 17 years, and manage money well, their credit card was cancelled and so was her car insurance. Also back then, a man could beat his wife with no legal consequences and there were no women's shelters. Women were paid half of what men were for the same job because women supposedly didn't need to support a family, so this made it very difficult for women to leave abusive husbands, they literally had no means to leave, not to mention many careers weren't open to women and women couldn't get any loans to buy a car without a man to cosign. You didn't live that recent history so clearly you don't know about it and haven't studied it.
As a GEN X couple married 34 years my husband and I see that a major component in careers and marriage is absolutely no critical thinking skills in younger generations. As a couple we grew up together, went to college together worked hard and struggled but we were happy together. We had common sense which doesn’t to be so common anymore.
My one pet peeve. When using the "low man on the totem pole" line. The lowest is the most important person! The highest is the least important. Look it up!
Old Millennial here...
We are fucked!
Were like the orchestra on the Titanic...
We will keep playing as gen Z drills holes in the bottom of the ship.
Hmm, this guy is onto something, my earnings definitely have climbed over the past 3 years.
I love how this guy connects the dots.
Cool video I was working two jobs my main job let me go in nov 2022 afraid I was going to fall break a hip. So I have 5 days off a week money is a little tight but enjoy my five days off lol
💥 Fk 💥 yea 💥 I'm 💥 49 💥💥💥💥💥
It’s great if you have a high paying job. The more they raise minimum wage, the more taxes they take out of your paycheck. -For the rest of us who barely make enough to live on. I am 46, and I am a grocery cashier. We, don’t make very much.
Gen X is just more intelligent, more responsible, more respectful. Little of the ridiculous cynicism of the generations after and the narcissism of the boomers.
the reason for the high divorce rate is women's empowerment and the current generation having less divorces is bc they learned. they're getting married less and being less committal to a woman. the risk isn't worth the pay off anymore
Why marry and have kids just to end up fighting in court where 2 lawyers get to compare dick size
While it dropped the divorce rate It didn't help. Women are self reporting being less happy with their lives than their mothers and grandmothers.
Bullshit! Nothing more effeminate than a whiney incel. Keep telling yourself it's the woman's fault and not take any responsibility for your own life. Nobody owes you anything!
Gen xers here. Married 34 years. Very true. Our labour worth has tripled in the last few years. You can pick and choose what you want to do for a job...
Sadly the Xers in other parts of the world are not this lucky. Where I live we Xers have not seen raises in a long time, and some fields have not seen a net raise since 1998...
“And we don’t....” (want to work). How do you EAT and pay RENT if you don’t work? Moms basement? What killed the boomers was the 2006-2016 depression. AND IT WAS A DEPRESSION. Trust me. This is coming from a father of 5 teens whose job was outsourced to India in 2008 and lost our house in 2011. Never ever recovered and this led to divorce (millions of divorces) . I was 48 when I was laid off of you couldn’t sell apples in 2008....
I like this GUY!! Especially after i heard him on ROGAN. Excellent insight on the human condition, very very intelligent💪👍💥
Marriage certificate is a business contract and the system controls everything.
The individual was raised up to be more important than society, rather than a dialogue. Until the last 20 tears every previous generation worked for future generations. It's very different today.
Love that tie, yep works for me
Imagine generalizing a group of people based on the year they were born. I'd be the same person if I was born in the 50s or the 80s
Some of us Gen-X did want to work, but the corporations crapped all over us. It's finally time for Gen-X
Other factors in Boomers had higher divorce rate relate more to "no fault" divorce law changes and getting married when they didn't really want to. While GenX and millennials just no getting married to begin with.
All retiring and keeping the assets with the added bonuses of them taking out equity release mortgages. Thanks guys.
I started at 17 in my trade and keep learning now I’m at a good wage after 20 years
Well I'm a millennial and my salary is also almost quadrupled compared to 10 years ago but its hardly surprising. I started as a holiday worker with 0 experience in the field and now I'm a senior specialist with a degree in material science who also sits on the work council and I'm the ARBO(OSHA) advisor for my employer.
I'm the youngest at the end of the millennial generation, I have been working in corporate America for 6 years because I had to support myself from the time I was 19 and by age 20 started a real career and it's been good, but not as good as this guy is saying. I have been able to take care of myself and not go under, that's where I am at with 6 years of experience and developing my skills.
I think it's the knowing when and how to ask for more when I add more value.
It's going to get better every year. Not under the build.back.better regime. The majority of money has been printed in just the last couple of years since the fed reserve started. Inflation out of control. Sending billions abroad.
Yep. But there are a few additional calcs that go into this that are not included in this emotional stand.
Bottom line: it’s what the individual is willing to learn and put into their own growth.
Victim hood is not an asset. It is an excuse
I'm looking at a 0.7% payrise this year. Love being a millennial
Singleness was nearly impossible for most women until relatively recently, in the 70's and 80's due to pay disparities, women not being allowed to have credit cards, or to sign for loans and many other types of contracts.
I’m recently retired and it was the best decision I have made for myself in my lifetime. My goal was to retire in 2024, but something happened… I woke the fck up! As I’ve gotten older, I realized I was between a rock and a hard place, meaning the boomers who were getting too old to do parts of their job efficiently and wouldn’t let go and millennials/genZ who don’t care about doing their jobs efficiently and then walk away only to be replaced by another one. The pandemic, and working from home for three years did a number on me. I almost lost my sanity.
Gen X - followed the Boomer plan. Went to college. Two terminal degrees. Worked for 20 years in a field that did not provide sustainable income and I was basically looking for work every 5 months. My degrees were IN that field. During COVID, was hired into an industry that needed my skillset and now I make twice as much as I ever did. Full benefits. Regular raises. Well respected. Also, happily married for 12 years, together for 20. So maybe he has a point!
Comedian David Fulton?
I’m sick of people judging Boomers. Very different time.
IKR GenX y and z wouldn't even exist if not for us Boomers.
huh. My income has more than tripled in the last few years after more than a decade of what felt like never ending internship. That fits.
Pay might be going up but no where near the rate of inflation.
For most Gen Xers, we've surpassed inflation by a large margin. We're in our top earnings years, and in high demand.
Proud to be a stay at home wife for 36 years!!
True, 4 years ago I was at 48k a year to 2023 at 115k a year 🎉 plus my wife at 40k a year.
Lol, I have no idea what I would be called. Born in 93, never really understood the names given to generations these days.
Boomer here...everyone I know has been married close to 50 years. My GenX kids are the divorce kings....too much freedom...shoulda kicked more butt!
Millennial here, 32 year old and I’m loving the lazy cohorts of all ages allowing me to become a hot, and increasingly hotter commodity. Skilled tradesman in the electrical field, went from $30 to $50 in about a 2 year 😂❤
About Time
Oh I am a fan of this Man! ❤️
It is true. My salary has increased so fast in the past three years. And I always was competing with someone 10 years older than me.
I'm a gen X coming up 50 this year and I'm retired I have been for a couple of years.
Feeling the oxygen being depraved out my body at the gym like a creatine crash until i feel exhausted, I now realize why everyone had black eye s whom of moving forward in life 20 year s ago
We have the best salary raises, but we have the greatest inflation and rise of prices too
Salary goes x1.5 but groceries at least doubled, houses pretty much doubled on top of inflation, cars are x1.5 plus average of 6% interest (when there even one available)
Yeaaah, we have it so much better 🙄
What Boomers are retiring? Lol! They are the generation that refuses to retire.
Lower divorce rate? I’m a Gen X’er and a MAJORITY of my contemporaries have been divorced.
Which, if he's right, would mean that boomers have it even worse
You’re right. Job/economic insecurity and modern feminism are the leading reasons for that divorce rate. These are the most of the reasons for the MGTOW movement (aka “Men Going Their Own Way”). A LOT of U.S. men in Gen X ranks have simply checked out of those untrustworthy pursuits after decades of betrayal.
fewer got married, that's why lower divorce rate when considering the entire gen x population
One percent less is lower. Still not low.
It's the repeat offenders that really tell the story.
1st marriages have the lowest divorce rate in America (less than 25%).
It's the folks who get married more than once who make up a greater and greater percentage of divorces.
2nd marriages have a higher rate of divorce than 1st marriages, 3rd higher than 2nds, 4th higher than 3rds, etc
Xer here and Im retired before 45
Plus Xers aren't afraid to work so they put in the effort when they needed to. The later ones are apprehensive about putting the time in.
Sux for you!!😂😂 so glad I stayed single & MF FREEEEEEE!
I certainly hope it lasts for at least another decade, I want to top off my retirement funds before retirement.
Marriage is the only contract that pays someone to break it. NEVER!
I'm going to take over in the next 10 years. Gen X rules!
Fug yeah less go baby!
Hmmm I am a "baby boomer" being born in 1951. My brother was born in 1949. He never got divorced, though he died at 42. I have been married for 50 years to my one and only. No divorce here. My baby sister was born 6 years after me. 1956 actually, but she was not a boomer. She is the only divorcee in our family. She has been divorced 5 times! It is not the boomers in our family but the next generation. Baby boom was right after WWII in 1948 through the early 1950s, when the soldiers came home, that was the baby boom... I barely was a boomer being born in 1951
Boomers are 1946-1964
