Episode 20: The GenX Episode - Finance Lies We Learned From Boomers

from Vertically Unstable · host Vertically Unstable

💸 Boomers told us to work hard, buy a house, and never talk about money. Gen X heard that… and now we’re broke, exhausted, and making 480 grocery trips a year.In this episode, Kelly and Christy roast outdated financial advice, spill the real tea on Gen X’s “peak spending power” (spoiler: we’re still broke), and confess the ridiculous ways we’ve sabotaged our own savings. From retirement anxiety to housing sticker shock to why trades are the new degrees, we cover it all—with plenty of sass, side-eye, and “did they just say that?” moments.If you’ve ever wondered why your bank account looks like a crime scene even though you’re killing it at work… this one’s for you.
