If you grew up Gen X, you already know. 😂 We had to be home when the streetlights came on. You ate what your parents cooked—or you didn’t eat. Your bicycle was your transportation, GPS, and freedom.

No texting your parents every...

College grads expect to make $80K after graduation. But what happens when the real world says otherwise? 👀 When I moved to Atlanta in 1997, my first real job paid me $22,500 a year—and I thought I was doing something! 😂 Times have definitely changed.
