Whoever put that study together should be embarrassed, the color coding below shows the obvious overlaps, so several of these are the same thing and don't belong. I would question the overall survey validity based on this sloppy work alone.
But it gives old right-wingers their daily dose of outrage about millennials, so the article fulfilled its purpose.
Should we really be blaming Millennials for how they turned out though? Parents are always saying that they want a better life for their kids and then complain when they turn out the way they did & not have some of the horrific problems & challenges we had growing up!
1. Losing wallet/credit card
2. Arguing with partner
3. Commute/traffic delays
4. Losing phone
5. Arriving late to work
6. Slow WiFi
7. Phone battery dying
8. Forgetting passwords
9. Credit card fraud
10. Forgetting phone charger
11. Losing/misplacing keys
12. Paying bills
13. Job interviews
14. Phone screen breaking
15. Credit card bills
16. Check engine light coming on
17. School loan payments
18. Job security
19. Choosing what to wear
20. Washing dishes
Oh, the humanity!
First world problems.
They have no idea what's it like to actually suffer - hence why they make up victim status for themselves and proudly wear it and shout about it at every opportunity.

And then they go and buy one of those tiny houses, park it in someone elses yard to get electricity and internet, all the while proclaiming how grounded they are, what minimalists they are, and preaching to everyone how we all need to get rid of our stuff. Watch - you won't see this in 5-10 years because people will realize that tiny places are doable at first, but it grows very old, very fast. What these hipster fools don't realize is that you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to be a minimalist. You just get rid of your stuff. In 15 years, they will be living in some suburb with their 2.1 children, and have a crap ton of stuff in their homes.
When I was a kid a couple of KKK members tied a black man to the back of their truck then drove around town until he died. The millennials shrieking about how unfair their life is know nothing of what actual suffering is.

It's a fact that Millennials do not have the same opportunities in this society that baby boomers had at the same age. With today's cost of living combined with the crushing debt most young people have by the time they finish college, many things that are taken for granted by older people are out of reach for younger people. Buying a home is a perfect example. Never mind the fact that so many young people are having to work dead-end jobs because of a poor economy and worthless degrees.
Did you know that 30 years ago, a family of four could survive on one income? Won't cut it today.
It was a study that involved 2,000 people, in a world with billions of people. How many of them were being sarcastic, anyway?
Everyone in this thread who's acting like this is something of consequence just got as trolled as the OP was.
There is math and science behind how survey sampling size is determined, which gives you a margin of error. There is nothing wrong with a survey size of 2K to get representative results.
