We on HN are lucky to live in a world where at 24 we are fighting 6 figure jobs offers but the rest of my millennial friends do not have that experience.

The median income for a 29yr old is $35k[0], which is barely enough to buy a house in B or C cities.

My grandfather came from mexico, worked at a factory and was able to raise 3 kids, buy a house, rental property, and lincolns for my grandma. Can anyone say the same thing about a lower middle class worker now?
