My parents in their 30s This would make a lovely second home for our family to winter in. Hopefully the garage can fit both our cars, snowmobile and ski equipment.

Me in my 30s I'll never financially recover from this purchase.

Just throwing it out there that only a tiny fraction of GenXers were old enough vote in the 1980 or even the 1984 elections. I am in my 30s and only one of my parents was old enough (and definitely did not vote for Reagan, I have seen their Mondale button), the other first voted for President in 1988.

    GenXers in their 30's were not buying secondary ski houses, we were getting buttfucked by recession

    Guessing boomers and millennials. I know plenty of millenials with boomer parents. And a lot of miilenials are still in their 30's (and fucked)

    Also remember that only a tiny fraction of humanity lives in the USA

    We are talking about U.S. President Ronald Reagan, so that hardly seems relevant.

    I'm just expanding on your point in replying to @grue

    It's the fault of the parents' generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.

    You limit the culpability of the "parents' generation" in electing Reagan, I limit it further. The "parents' generation" is bigger than one jurisdiction.

    Generations are limited to countries or handfuls of countries. Cohorts are created by shared experiences and those experiences are rarely global. For instance in Russia the Gen X equivalent is called “the last Soviet children” and as you can imagine their experiences aren’t exactly the same as those who make up Gen X.
