    X-Factor this X-mas

    By Jeremy | December 13, 2007

    Scrooge has gotten younger. The new face of the famously stingy foil is no longer old or crotchety. According to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, Generation Xers - roughly those of us 23-39 years old - are the new misers. We are less likely to support charities than our parents and grandparents, about 50% compared to more than 75%. That means only half of us give anything at all, with average annual giving less than a third of older generations, just $532 to $1,707. ... There's another interpretation of X that is infinitely more hopeful. In mathematics, X becomes whatever it needs to be in order to make an equation work. It rises to the occasion. Whatever other factors might exist, X satisfies the need and helps to establish equities.
