The Lost Decade

MANIFESTO

For some reason, I was thinking of the last ten years the other day. It may have had to do with thinking about how flat my investments have been in the last 120 months, or maybe I was just thinking about them as my second career hits its tenth anniversary. At any rate, I couldn't help but think of Gertrude Stein's famous line to Hemingway, "You are all a lost generation," as I considered just how vacuous the 2000s have thus far been.

Apparently, I'm not the only person who feels this way.

For those of you who joined the real world ten years ago, may your experiences improve.
