    Wait, other Gen Xers and Millennials don’t fear becoming homeless?

    I have a lot of friends who were homeless at least once during life, and all the others have been on the verge of homelessness. Is this atypical in the United States?

      Oh, no…we do. My best friend is a millennial, I’m an xennial, and we worry as much as Gen-Zers do. Well…I don’t necessarily because I have an in-demand career as a high school advanced math teacher, but I do worry like hell about retirement. My friend, though, while having a full-time job, they have almost no savings and would be one crisis away from homelessness if it weren’t for the people in their life who care about them.
