For 20 bucks they can see first hand what is happening to their generation. Greed drives the bus and leads the tour. I recommend that the GenXers take a ride on the Foreclosure Bus.

It postulates that American society fluctuates on a four-generation cycle that takes about 80-90 years to cycle through. And we're about at the point where the problems festering under an Idealist generation (the Boomers) reach critical mass and have to be cleaned up by the next two generations in a nation-shaking crisis comparable with the Civil War, Great Depression, or WW2. Other books on the subject by Strauss & Howe are <i>13th Gen</i>, an application of their cycle specifically to Gen X, and <i>Fourth Turning</i>, an attempt to predict what's next based on past iterations of the cycle. Their books should be available on Amazon; their website should come up if you google the phrase "Fourth Turning". Check out a book called Generations by Strauss & Howe.

“Never known hard times” indeed. I remember unwrapping a really sweet birthday present once, only to have my parents immediately exclaim: “It’s broken!” and return it to the store. Funny, I never did get a replacement.

Those experiences taught me to be frugal and practical … Now my irresponsible Boomer in-laws are teaching me to be hard-hearted, because if I bail them out financially one more time I’ll have no savings left.

The Boomers may worship Greenspan, but Volcker is my hero.
