What is most disturbing about this is how this generation began to come out. Feeling alienated and disenfranchised Generation X rebelled against their parents' lifestyles. Seeing their parents work themselves literally to death for material goods only to be downsized by their employers after years of creating a feeling among this generation that they will not be taken for the same journey. 

They rebelled against their parents by processing the slacker persona think jeans flannel shirt coffee cup that is always there. This generation wants a balance in their lives. Growing up as a latch-key children their children will not suffer the same fate. Their children will be driven back and forth to school and many after-school activities. Generation X wants to work to live rather than live to work - even if it means decreased income potential. Like the hippies before them they derided their cohorts who drive luxury cars and wearing a business suit.

In order to buy houses and cars that cost is driven by Baby Boomers Generation X learned to live with debt. Worse they learn to accept it. Your feelings will not have enough money or we will not have our house in a way that our parents did. give them permission to take on increasing levels of debt to finance their lives.


Enter the designer-ification democratization of luxury consumer goods and the popularity of home decoration and renovation. Every aspect of the lives of Generation X embellished by design. They were introduced to designer jeans at the formative age and they're drinking coffee designer designer enjoys traveling and pushing designer strollers. Then somewhere in's and early of luxury goods go crazy. Luxury goods company is bought by large investors whose sole aim is to make a profit. Target profit is the middle class. Simple recipes.

Making luxury goods within the reach of these people and watch sales climb. wear jeans and flannel now long-gone and in place of their Coach and Prada. Generation Xers as they provide less value on savings and increase their debt tolerance as thirsty luxury goods grows. Eventually the popularity of HGTV and a booming real estate due to Generation X to place too high a value on the house as a status symbol. As the first generation to know the Vikings as a tool more than an iconic historical figure they spend money they do not need to get a bigger house and better turning a house into a house of cards will topple when interest rates rise.

So when will Generation X to save for a rainy day As the oldest of Generation X entered the age of early retirement looms nearer and nearer. Even with the most secure pension plan could falter our generation to maintain their lifestyle or even basic survival once hits retirement age as their children graduate high school if they can support their education post-high school and pay the mortgage giants at the same time question time It will only answer. But there is one fact that they can not avoid stress ... and it is mortgage payments and credit card balances that create lines of worry that even Jennifer Lopez-sized bottle of Cr me de la Mer You can not delete. Buyer beware.
