Millennials include people 10 years older than you. We were definitely being sold a future of sunshine and rainbows until at least late high school, if not our 20s.
Millennials were sold the same promises as Gen X, only it was quickly becoming apparent that those promises were straight up lies. The young millennials cam of age in the wake of the 2008 crash while the older ones lost everything in said crash. Zoomers are still being sold the American dream, only now it's more of a hostage demand.
And we all will land gently into a third world of our own making. The extremely rich, who are countryless/boarderless, will settle into their private islands as they use people to rack up "money points" and abuse underage childten.
I'm certain Ill be dead/dying in time to tell story's have how we use to have rights and how Rosa Parks sat at the front of a bus once and helped change a nation. I will instill ideas of democracy that my current countrymen seem to hate so much, now. Then I will probably pick up a pack of smokes so I can look cool as I die rambling on about the ballot or the bullet.
I am an elder millennial graduated in 02, the 90’s were fucking great. It’s literally been a downhill slide since 9/11. We were told we were post history.
Yeah, my brother is an elder millennial (43), I'm 33. It's wild the different stories we were told about how our lives were going to be. If he hasn't gone into the military, I doubt he'd be any better off then I am, and I am... Not doing great, financially.
Yeah I’m 30 and had to explain to my father that he could raise a family on a single engineer’s income, but I wouldn’t be able to. That was when I was a teenager
Affording a house on a single income isn't doable, never mind raising a family!
You absolutely can. All you need is to be an engineer or other highly skilled professional or a tradesperson who works a ton of overtime and live in a low cost of living area on a tight budget and save for a decade
I am an engineer 🥲
Me too. And if I wasn’t fleeing Ohio I’d be looking at buying a house here. Not a big one but there are decent small houses in the suburbs that are affordable as an engineer on a single income if you save aggressively. Instead I’m spending my down payment on moving to the west coast.
I'm in Canada, and to be fair I could buy a house as well... Just not in the city I live in (or likely in any other city with a population over 50k).
