    It's especially weird when you mention something is back (ie polo shirts) and I think "wait, that went away?"
  • George saying "I think I'm (inside) a secret boomer" is giving me life 🤣
  • @108SBSO
    Back to the 90s, we used to say Sike when we were joking. Like hey I like your shirt…sike.
  • I get confused about which generation belongs to which decade that this conversation is different to follow. I wish that we could go back to simply saying 70's 80's, 90's...
  • So the 60s, 70s, 80s came back again, again.. LOL! I keep walking through stores and thinking someone finally opened some old storage units, LOL

    Cargo pants for guys = a place for me to put MY phone, my epi pens, and my wallet so I don’t need to carry a bag ❤😂

    Thanks to you Rachel. Following your recommendation, I started researching into Abby Joseph Cohen Services. Thankfully it was a little over a year ago now, I started an lnvestment with Abby's Services and that allowed me to be on much MUCH more stable ground in the face of global financial upheaval. So thank you, your channel, and your employees. For what it's worth, it made a difference for me and my little family.

    As a first in line gen-X. We're not open we just need to meme everything 😁
  • I'm 63 and, when I was growing up, we were taught talking about money was rude. We never learned how to budget or invest, and our parents assured us Social Security and our pension would be there for us when we retired. My parents paid $28K for their 2400SF home in 1963 while I paid $150K for mine (1700SF) in 1994 - more than 5X! And I remember a time when interest rates were 14%.

    My fave gen z saying/word is, “extra.” I feel it’s a perfect way to describe some people/things. Also, my gen alpha kids the other day were dancing to Cotton Eye Joe, and wouldn’t believe me that it isn’t a new song 🤦🏻‍♀️ I had to sing it all to prove it (because as an elder millennial I apparently only know “old” songs 🙄😅)
  • As someone who was born in 1998, it's hard trying to keep up with the Gen z slang..
  • I have NO idea why they say Gen-Z wears crew socks like what no I could never. It was one thing for lacrosse in high school but I stay wearing no show socks
  • My favorite gen z slang that I love to hate is “delulu” (delusional).
  • @MTobin1000
    Rad ! Oh wait that was from the mid80’s…Gen Xr here !!!
  • I am a Gen X and it is so true about taking care of parents, and have a child we are floating through college. It is legit true! I love your show, keep it up. Love you all. ❤
  • This was my absolute FAVORITE episode of Smart Money Happy Hour!!! I was crying at work!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
