It is exactly reality - and that you don't grasp it only validates how utterly self-deluded Millenials are.
By every measure Millenials are doing better.
Millenials have:
+ Better healthcare, more coverage + Better access to education, information, more college grads than ever + More job opportunities, more diverse fields to apply knowlege + More opportunity for wealth creation + A life full of gadgets, toys and trifles that couldn't even be imagined + You have 'fast fashion' - just 20 years ago there was no suh thing. Clothes were expensive. + Your cars are pretty good, stereos are great, they are fun to drive. Drive a car from the 1970's - they are shit-boxes + You have access to unlimited entertainment and music. In the 1970s' you had 10 records. You wanted to listen to more you went to your friends house. + You have more mobility and access to jobs not only around America, but around the world. + Millenial girls can actually have careers and jobs - and not have to fight vicious stereotyping.
It's basically disgusting that this generation should make existential complains.
What are your beefs?
That you don't bet to be CEO after 1 year?
That you can't live in a baller apartment in SF and have to actually commute from the burbs?
That you don't have job security? Well, you could, if you wanted a more boring job.
That you have school debt? Every generation did. You could have gone to a state school, private school is a luxury.
All of these gripes are really sad 'Oh the Boomers fed everything up' and 'life sucks'. Bullshit.
Provide some facts.
Other than University being a little more expensive - I don't see anything that is remotely more difficult. And FYU with interest rates so low compared to the 15% it was in the 1980s, I say in real dollars, maybe that's not so bad.
