[QUOTE="Commercial Inside Release, post: 5815634, member: 93336"] Gen-Xers had the wonderful benefit of... Pell grants cancelled in the late '80s Montgomery GI Bill was a flop, lots claiming they didn't get benefits High energy costs, high inflation, record setting interest rates Country coming out of recession into corporate buyouts, unrestrained Wall Street greed Record foreign investment\competition (Japan) Union busting at an all time high (UAW, USW on the news weekly) National shame of the Vietnam debacle And last, but not at all least... Wages stayed between $6 per hour to $9 per hour for about 25 years, while goods & services inflated. Minimum wage was around $2.90 to $4.75 for decades. Very few had any money until after the late nineties, or until they were in their 30s [/QUOTE]
