    I guess the older Gen X could have been part of that. The younger ones were still finishing up college and just starting their careers when the economy crashed for the first, but not last time in their lives. The youngest ones joined the workforce just after the dot com bust.

          I never said it didn’t change. Are you implying that $5/hr in the late 90s was having people livin’ la vida loca?

          I had enough to put a little gas in my car and get the occasional CD at the mall, while living with my parents.
