Got married, interesting time as a software contractor through two boom and bust cycles, had three wonderful Quiet generation kids. Currently some credit card debt, but lots of equity in reserve in the house I'd bought in 1990, so barring a generational crisis, I'll survive financially.
So basically, adulthood has been pretty much what I envisioned - I get to make my own decisions, and get to live with the consequences of those decisions. I would never go back to being a child.
Interesting post, and I agree with you -- childhood sucked.
Question -- what is a "quiet generation" kid? Someone born in the aughts? If so, they should be in or approaching the dreaded middle school years. Chin up, you'll survive.
