Confessions of a Gen-Xer

I think I get it now...the whole Gen X thing....this idea that those of us who fall under this label are in fact, label-less....so maybe many of us (uh, me) have racked up debt...unconsciously- in search of a label....in search of meaning....because we weren't given meaning. As I've reached adulthood, I've struggled with meaning and place and identity and the Gen-X label crops up....latch key kid, 50% of GenX-ers are products of divorced homes, slackers, grunge.....all of it negative....and so we (I...in fact, I'll switch to that pronoun now) I have sought to consume in order to BE....yes, I'm reading "A New Earth" and that resonates with the reality that I've been in a slumber-fiscally, emotionally....and maybe it's part of the Gen-X identity....dunno....but, I don't want to be part of Gen-Debt.....I want to be Gen-Debt-Free.....

At some point, I'll have to get real...right...at some point I'll have to post my facts....post the data....post my stupidity. I'm questioning why the blog...and all I can do is think that if I'm facing this others are too...and, this blog will keep me accountable....and it will be a place to share the highs and lows and the creative ways I've cut costs and saved money thus far. So here it goes....blog-on...
