Similar experience for me and we are the same age. I don’t feel cheated per say but I agree we had less opportunity available to us and less ability to affect change.

The thing to remember is that we are a small generation sandwiched between two big ones (baby boomers and millenials). We never got to move the needle as much culturally as these two generations did.

The boomers set the rules, which we begrudgingly followed. And the millenials are breaking the rules and we have to roll with that too.

Sometimes it feels like we are caught between both worlds, and forced to choose a side where we only agree with them 50% of the time.
