In the last year I went from an invited guest at Obama's Inauguration to losing my marriage, 2 daughters, home, and career. All at 41y/o. Soon I may be homeless. With no formal education (as I learned photography as a trade), things are looking bleak. I am frantically trying to network here and elsewhere looking for hope, guidance and maybe an angel somewhere...Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...really.

KateNonymous The Gen X Connect Ning site has been overwhelmed by spammers, and I have no idea who controls the site--therefore I'll be here, but not there.

KateNonymous So it looks like the Gen X Connect domain has expired, but the Ning site is still there. Update your bookmarks accordingly!

Cara Pavelko What do you think is the greatest thing about being a Gen Xer? For me, it's my cynicism. It has made me a realist.

Karen Zgoda: Independence. We can take care of ourselves and tackle things without much guidance. Latch-key kids grown-up. :)

Angelo Losito: @GenXpert Suzanne Kart: when do you think GenX ends? just curious?
28 weeks ago

GenerationXpert Suzanne Kart: Sorry @ the late response. I think Gen X ends 12/31/79 - therefore anyone born before 1980. If you born in the 60s or 70s, I say you're X.

Angelo Losito Xers were criticized as bad and stupid in the 1980's. I remember well.

GenerationXpert Suzanne Kart: Xers were also told that we would never own our houses - and yet we ended up buying earlier than the boomers did (adjusted for age).

Angelo Losito: Xers proved elders wrong in a lot of things. Shaking off slacker.
I can imagine Millennials proving adults about being spoiled.

Angelo Losito My whole job search is as hard as some Xers. I know how you Xers feel.

KateNonymous: It's a tough time for a lot of people. Good luck with your job search.

Ryan Paugh You guys need a rockin avatar to drive some people to the group. Maybe get GenXpert on here. That's one creative Gen Xer!

KateNonymous Of course, we're not talking on genxconnect, either. But at least here we talk about how we're not talking. Progress?

GenerationXpert Suzanne Kart: I have one of my theories on this, too. Xers don't like to show their cards in front of non-Xers. And most Xers think it's just them.
