Confessions from a Millenial

[Kwon]

Like everyone in my generation, I am finding it increasingly difficult not to be scared about the future and angry about the past.

I am 35 years old—the oldest millennial, the first millennial—and for a decade now, I’ve been waiting for adulthood to kick in. My rent consumes nearly half my income, I haven’t had a steady job since Pluto was a planet and my savings are dwindling faster than the ice caps the baby boomers melted.


We’ve all heard the statistics. More millennials live with their parents than with roommates.

We are delaying partner-marrying and house-buying and kid-having for longer than any previous generation.

And, according to The Olds, our problems are all our fault: We got the wrong degree.


WHAT’S A MILLENNIAL ANYWAY?
Unless otherwise noted, we mean anyone born between 1982 and 2004

Poor thing.

This stinking cunts problem isn’t that he is a millennial it’s because he’s a fucking looser not willing to put in the graft and has the money management skills of a child a side effect of being a pampered piece of shit that had everything easy growing up. Useless twat

This generation wants everything their parents have........but they don't believe they should have to work for it.

Yep, they think their parents left college, got a $100k job, bought a big house and 2 new cars when they were 22 years old.

Might read that later long read.

Two things I can say without reading it.

1. there's inflation in useless degrees. And people are amassing huge debt they can't pay off because of it.

2. And the infux of globalism and internet. This didn't hurt the boomer generation. They didn't have to compete with chinamen and indians that can do your job for 1/5 the pay.

Also the boomers(worst generation) started the mass immigration from worthless shitholes.

some sound advice from Sam for the young up and cumers

"don't go to college without making damn sure you are one of the few people that needs to go to college"

Who could have imagined that spending 30k/year on underwater basket weaving wouldn't provide a good ROI?

Within the next 5 years ... every major city within the USA will have over 30% of its population living in squander similar to the slums of India.

It is already a major problem of little concern within Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as other major US cities.

Anyone wise enough to offer a solution?

Would not surprise me, or even worse.  It's already happening.

Deagle has said for years that 2/3 of the US population will be gone by 2025, and the real GDP will go from $19 Trillion to $1.6 trillion.

This generation wants everything their parents have........but they don't believe they should have to work for it. 

They are just getting a taste of what is coming. This is the end of the perpetual growth model they have been using. Everything that could be manipulated forward has been since the late 70s. When the easy credit ends is when the standard of living will drop.

Well the boomer f@ggot generation is the generation that started colleges with useless degrees. Telling their children everything will be okay if they get an education. Because it was in their generation.

Yes, even the boomers got useless degrees and ended up in sh*t jobs.

Not all boomers are making huge money.  Most with high lifestyles are paying for it by being in debt up to their necks.

They where not hit with crazy housing prices like my generation. So they are in far less debt. Most of them who where not dumbasses should have paid off their houses a long time ago by now.

But the percentage of boomers who had shit degrees and had jobs was much higher.  Inflation was not as bad either... the dollar bought you more goods and services back then. 

Most kids today are fucked and they don't realize this until they graduate and the only jobs that are readily available is where they ask: "You want fries with that?"

Almost every one I know during the 2000's housing bubble took out home equity loans.  The house became an ATM.  Government, economists and MSM pundits had ppl fooled into believing that housing prices never come down.
