Overpacking & Overthinking: A Gen X Guide to Life, Luggage, and Being the Forgotten Generation

Ever tried to pack a suitcase for a simple trip, only to realize you’ve packed enough "just in case" emergency gear to survive a minor apocalypse? 🧳💀 In this video, we’re looking inside the mind (and the overstuffed luggage) of Generation X. Sitting right in the thick of midlife, the way we handle a suitcase tells you everything you need to know about how we handle the world. As the "Forgotten Generation" sandwiched between Boomers and Millennials, our childhoods bred a unique kind of pathologically fierce self-reliance. Join me as I attempt to zip this suitcase shut while breaking down why Gen X is the way we are—from our latchkey kid survival instincts and our weird "digital immigrant" tech habits, to the heavy emotional weight of being the sandwich generation. Are you a reformed minimalist or a hardcore "just in case" overpacker? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!👇
