"Gen Xers are the older end of the workforce. Some might be lucky enough to be able to retire, but they're not as well off as the Boomers."

Born in 71 from older parents who had raised my boomer siblings, once I became an adult I found out the world was not what I was prepared for. Long story short, I was able to start putting away for retirement 3 years ago. So yeah, I'll hopefully have some money for an emergency, but not counting on actually getting to retire till my 70's, health permitting.
