Yes! As a badass Gen X woman who chose slow travel and early retirement over the grind, I’ve built a life around my love language: quality time. I don’t have a ton of extra cash, but I’ve got freedom, clarity, and the guts to live on my own terms.

If entrepreneurship means rewriting the rules and leading with intention, then count us in. We’re not just driving change… We are the shift.

Super interesting. I’m a young Gen X woman in the process of reinvention and this was very encouraging. Thanks!

100% on point. My wife and I are gen x, and she manages our finances top to bottom. She will say I have a say in how we spend , but I think she is just being nice. Haha

I’m in the heart of Gen X, building my third business for reimagined work in hospitality. Feeling every bit of this piece. 🤘

Ammachi has said that the 21stC will be “the Century for women”; for ‘Yin’, instead-of ‘Yang’ dominance.

My largest client's user base is 90% women over 50. No lies detected here. They are willing and able to buy. Most of the business owners in the industry are men, but I'm seeing a subtle change in that and figuring it will be a big shift soon as businesses are transferred to daughters instead of sons.

I have ADHD and had to stop what I was doing and go to YouTube and play Wild Wild West immediately. How do I still know all the words! Meanwhile, I have to go back and reread the article because this side quest caused me to forget what I just read...

The Irony.

Also, I am GenX, left Corporate job and started my business in 2020, also dabbled in consulting discovering how much money I left on the table settling for a salaried corporate job for so many years. Refreshing my business in 2025 and looking forward to the coming decades allowing me to live free and thrive doing what I love.

I'm H.E.R. I don't have the extra cash right now. But with your course and my assets...I will!

When I was married, twice we lived debt free...on cash. It was thrilling to have that kind of income and freedom.

As a single woman...I'm on my way.
