Don't worry, we're all on the same page: You're not that special.

So apparently this article, "Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy" http://www.waitbutwhy.com/2013/09/why-generation-y-yuppies-are-unhappy.html, has gotten a lot of attention.

I first learned about it by reading this response, "Responding to the worst essay ever written" https://medium.com/p/2c5cd5e1c9d3.  If you can make it past the hyperbolic whining, there's good stuff down at the Real World Sally section.

I'd thought the issue was settled, but then this morning, I woke up to "The New Retirement Age Is Thirty" https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/547114ab60ef, which contrary to the optimistic title was much more like the original article.

I've got good news for Generation Y. Don't worry, nobody else will have that problem.  Generation X is raising its children like they raise their Pokemon, with this message: You're not special. http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2013/10/18
