the gen x thing is real, we are those that straddle the time before computors and yes, the ocd uncooperative behaviour stems from having a mind that was free to explore with a somewhat healthy outlook and freedoms which are being eroded
Take no nonsense from people and being independent of thought and finances.
years ago i understood inflation that wat is $10 will be worth yesterday will be worth less in the future, and lived my life at the time instead of working for a happier retirement, enjoyed my youth right up to over 40 years and beyond with gradually being more responsible as i got older.
To be honest, the way i carried on, i never thought i would make it to 40 yet over 50 now and beyond
no regrets !!
