How do tuition, rent, and book prices now compare to previous generations?

I don't know. Adjust for inflation and let me know

GeauxCougs

As far as education costs go it is much harder now...

The culture has been damaging

Agreed. But that is a different issue...

I know my degree cost me an arm and a leg.

GeauxCougs

3/27/17 3:05pm

For that same degree today you would probably have to give up the other arm...

I do realize it. That is why I have so little sympathy for them. Sure it sucks

"Both are terrible." - GenX

This is both accurate and true.

Cougarrr

As opposed to accurate and false?

Dissenter

Gen Xers are better than both groups so there is that.

GeauxCougs

3/27/17 11:36am

Gen Xers, by and large, are terrible parents and to blame for the millenial issues.

Gen X started in 1961. So they are 56 now, some with 30 year old kids.

Turnpike Lane

You are right. I'm a late gen Xer and my oldest is 15

GeauxCougs

Terrible/non-existent parenting has led to a whole lot of social ills.

I think both groups suck pretty equally regardless of the year they were born.
