Most of my friends are all successful and all own homes. My wife and I purchased our home without a single cent of assistance, we have no Debt outside of our home and a vehicle, and our retirement strategies have been well thought out and are being contributed at 15% each. in the meantime I spend a bunch of money on new vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, etc. if you are hard working, intelligent, and desirable within your field you have nothing to worry about. I agree to a point with @frenchy that there are people of every generation who are entitled and lazy, but I do not believe that the vast majority are. I figure that if somebody wants to pick the worst out of a group and use that for their example then that says a lot about their outlook on life. Always looking for the worst. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a very skewed view of the millennial generation. I for one have never had avocado toast or even a latte for that matter. I work hard, have a valuable degree from a respected university, and know many people who also share similar attributes. Your views and news articles are a small slice of the pie that cater to people like you who share the same “glass is half empty” mentality. your words and view points are nothing more then regurgitated garbage to those who are currently in the exact opposite situation as you proclaim them to be in.

I do worry about those who are only making money now because of a tight unemployment situation, they will have a wake up call whether millenial or Gen Xer when the economy starts sputtering. My daughter did, also. My son in law came from nothing. Working a job , trying to put himself through school. Walked into car dealer convinced manager he would work his ass off selling cars if he would give him a shot. In a year and half he was the finance manager . Now he is a general manager. Just got flown to another state on a job offer to run his own dealer. Not even 30 years old. Where do you think he would be if he decided instead to sit in his basement and post Karl Mark memes all day, blaming the system, his tough break in life. The lazy position fillers are always in trouble when the economy starts sputtering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
