Generation X: The Forgotten Generation that refuses to be ignored. 👊
Smaller than the Boomers before us and the Millennials/Gen Z after us… yet we’ve been punching way above our weight class the entire time.
We gave the world the founders (or co-founders) of Google, YouTube, Twitter/X, Dell, Microsoft, Palantir, and PayPal. Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, and Lisa Su are all Xers.
Right now we control over $46 trillion (26.4%) of U.S. wealth — second only to the Baby Boomers.
This is in spite of getting hit harder than most by the ’90s recession, the dotcom crash, and the Global Financial Crisis.
We’re the original Sandwich Generation, simultaneously raising kids, caring for aging parents, and still grinding careers.
Forgotten? Maybe in name.
Irrelevant? Not even close.
We’re the quiet backbone holding a lot of this economy together — in tech, business, spending power, and sheer staying power.
Respect to every Xer still out here making it happen. 🔥🫡🇺🇸
