Stones Cry Out

Regarding the article on "Twixters." It amuses me that there is even an article on such a thing. like always there is a label to define "such people" in our society. what I have noticed is that most "adults" (whatever that means) are not happy. What makes one responsible? Who Said So? It is exciting that we live in a time that people are seeking joy rather then survival. To call someone "lazy" or a "slacker" just because they dont do it the way you may choose to do it, is just unacceptable. We all have the right to live the way we want, and I choose to live in joy.
Not wait until I am 65 in order to finally enjoy life.

I'm 25 years old. I have been waiting for an article like this to come out. I have notice too these "twixters" and agree with what the article says. I will be able to retire by 45 because I started to work hard and invest at 20, the same thing my parents did. And if you are thinking it, no my parents are not rich. It seems that youth today are at lest ten years behind our parents and have no long term thought of the future. Yes, twixters may want to wait for 5-10 years before taking on responsibilities, just to live life, but who will take care of you when you have no safe investments when you are 40-50. By the time you have kids (at 30 or 40), you will be 50 or even 60 by the time they are 20, then take into account that they will live with you for another 10 years you will be 60-70 years old. Your kids will not have a job to support you and themselves. You will have nothing but pain and regret when you are old, just because you wanted to injoy life while you are young. Twixters are a group of people that happened between Gen X and the Gameboy Gen. They want no responsibilities like Gen X and yet all the fun and games of Gameboy Gen. It don't bother me though, when I can retire at 45, they WILL pay me x3 or x4 times my wadge to keep me working, just because there is no one else to do the work. Talk about job security

What is a wadge? I hope that your job isn't correcting spelling errors.

It's very nice to have the luxury of living with ones parents for 10 extra years to find yourself. But, is it really fair to the parents to have to delay part of their lives to help you along? Isn't the sacrifice that most parents make to send their children to college enough. Most of the people I know do not have endless bank accounts and are just regular working class people trying to make ends meet. Yet, they are expected to continue to support their grown children for maybe 5 or 10 more years until they reach age 30. I'm all for finding out what you really want to do with your life and not making a commitment to marry someone before you really know who and what you want, but I don't believe it is the parent's responsibility to support you while you do this. The problem with not growing up when it's time is that someone has to be responsible for you even if you choose not to be.
