Every generation has evil people and good people. No generation is all good or all bad.

I've been working at the same thing for 49 years, no desire to retire yet, have lived below my means all my life and saved the difference -- and I ruined the world?

Come at me, you stupid millennials and X-ers. You don't know **** yet because you're too young, and are still living with Mommy. So how do you like being thrown into one camp?

Hey hey! I agree with you. Don't blame gen X. I am gen X. 47. It's gen Y and the millennials.

The ones after the Millennials have been labeled iGen.

They have never lived in a time when they couldn't access the entire world right now on something they can put in their pocket.

I don't know how to calculate "milage" (mileage). Is that in how far you have traveled, in miles, feet, yards, or how many wives you have had? or kids? or significant (or less) others (one night stands)? Please inform me how to calculate this "mileage" you speak of....

I never understood "one night stands". It seems "lays" would be more appropriate.

The way I look at it is no matter what age you are... if you have a Corvette or even if you used to have one... you've won at life and experienced the dream.

30. Got my c5z for my 30th birthday as a present to myself from myself. My grandpas both died before 40 so I figure if I don’t make it to midlife crisis time at least I crossed this off.
