Gen X Are We Adults Yet? 1923 vs. 2023 100 Years of Goodness

🎉 Hey Gen Xers and all our Monday morning crew, a big shout-out to you! And let's not forget Toby from last week - thank you for the laughs and insights. 🌟 This week, we've got something special lined up, and I'm joined by the ever-entertaining Cohost Greg- give it up, folks! 👏

Remember when I mentioned my daughter's shock about "the 1900s"? It sparked a whole conversation about how what we considered "olden days" were actually not that long ago. And it got us thinking - how different was life exactly 100 years ago? 🤔 So, we're dedicating today's episode to exploring the stark contrasts and surprising similarities between 1923 and 2023. 🕰️

We'll dive into the glitz of the 20s with stars like the enchanting Greta Garbo and the legendary Charlie Chaplin, and yes, even the heartthrob Rudolph Valentino. Plus, we'll groove to the tunes of jazz legends like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, bringing the sound of the 1920s to life. 🎷🎬

But it's not all glitz and glamour; we're getting into the nitty-gritty of everyday life back then - from the factory and farm work that defined masculinity, to the constrained roles and rights of women, even after the 19th Amendment. 🏭👩

And let's talk money! Can you imagine making an average income of $1,396 a year or buying a house for $1,198? We'll compare that to the skyrocketing figures of 2023, making you wonder just how far we've come (or not). 💵🏠

So, grab your coffee, and let's jump into our time machine for a ride from the Roaring 20s to the Tech-Driven 2020s. You're in for a ride full of revelations, laughter, and maybe a bit of nostalgia. Join us on "Gen X AWAY?" for a journey 100 years in the making! 🚀 #GenXAWAY #1923vs2023 #TimeTravelTuesday
