Zambroski Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The bright and resilient will always be fine. There just happens to much less of that in this generation. Look at the protest groups to find the weakest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Millennials and boomers are the ones propping up our phony economy by dumping everything they make into it and then adding massive debt spending on top. Take that away and things go to shit pretty quick. But lets blame them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not all millenials are living in their parents basement, many are working and making great money. They are buying up condos and houses in the city and those are top $$$. Alot of the new tech and trends are being pushed by millenials. All of the universities around here are slammed and building new facilites because of all of the enrollment. And the biggest companies in the world are all recruiting right out of these schools. Doctors, engineers, tech, business, etc.. Millennials are taking over.

GGNHL Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm 28 and have a nice 1500 sqft ranch on 29 acres, a nice truck, snowmobiles, more than my annual salary + bonus in a 401k, etc. There are plenty of hardworking millenials out there putting plenty of money into the economy. We're just easy to pick on cause we're the new generation with a whiny minority and we're breaking cultural norms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The degrees most are graduating from today in, don't fall under any of those fields, just like 50 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are working at many of these universities and they are spending hundreds of millions per year on expansion and improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I socked away a ton when I was in my early 20's and its paying off big time. Most of my friends were in the same scenario as me and all did the same.

The Warren thing was a joke Ginger Geoff, I know you're going to vote for: I figure after you sell all the toys you can move into a Yurt in northern NH on Uncle Snotty's run down estate since you won't need as much space anymore and you'll have as much rotten firewood in poorly stacked piles that you'll ever need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
