Most Gen Xers are between 50 and 60 years old, putting them squarely in their highest earning years. Unfortunately baby boomers are refusing to retire, but Gen X is still here and we're feeling their impact.
Back in the '80s and '90s however, Gen X focused more on fun and games than making money, like all kids should. Here are 20 photos of Gen X having fun, before they grew up into a world run by baby boomers.
