Sumthin's fishy here

A dude wrote a book about how this recession we're in nearly drove him to suicide and how this latest recession brought Gen X into some form of economic reality.

If he didn't live thru the Tech Bubble Burst of 2000, and this is his first taste of financial despair, I'm guessing he's a Millenial that mistakenly has associated himself with Gen X.

For Generation X, the great boom at the beginning of this millennium meant high-living to the extreme. For local Gen X author Oliver Galang, it was all about casino gambling, women, parties and money. When the Great Recession of 2008-2009 hit, it was a sharp thud for this generation - thrusting Galang to the point of suicide.
