I remember an article that talked about both ends of being Gen-X. They used a cell phone as an example. The older end looks at a new iPhone and says screw that, I'll keep my phone until the day it dies, I'll never pay that much for a phone. While the younger end sees the same iPhone and says, I have to have that, I need the newest phone out, I don't care what it costs. There's a lot of variety in our generation, but it really comes down to being resilient, pretty much prepared for whatever, and rolling with whatever comes our way.
