I look at kids today, needing crisis counseling because someone wrote "Trump 2016" in chalk on a sidewalk, having their parents go WITH them on job interviews, having absolutely zero sense of personal responsibility or ability to handle a crisis and I wonder what's in store for us when they inherit the country.
After all, the youth is the future and WE failed them for enabling and fostering this nonsense that "everyone gets a trophy" or that good parenting is hovering over your kids to the point where they can't function without you.
I truly hope this is just a symptom of the 24/7 news media where we see so many of these stories just because we have access to so much information but I fear it's more systemic and that we are basically screwed.
As others have pointed out, during the greatest generation 18 year olds were storming the beaches in Normandy and today they need crisis counseling because someone wrote the name of a presidential candidate they don't like in chalk.
In my dad's generation, you were EXPECTED to leave the house at 18 and support yourself. Today, you have kids taking their parents with them on job interviews

These millennials (18-33 years of age) of whom folk feel a need to deride are the folks who are currently fighting the "war on terrorism," treating you in hospitals and medical clinics, they are your firemen, police officers, paramedics, and teachers. Some are budding entrepreneurs and are already billionaire CEO's.
They also have an extremely high unemployment rate.

"The millennial generation is still lagging in the workplace, making up about 40 percent of the unemployed in the U.S., says Anthony Carnevale, a director and research professor for Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce."
We arent disputing whether or not she is refinancing at a lower rate.
Exactly. The entire question is based on the fact that she was refinancing at a lower rate, yet you spewed nonsense about assumptions you made that were not a part of the question at all. That's why you'd fail to answer the question correctly.
Yep, nothing to see here folks. Everything's fine. Move along.
What's the problem? Are you actually going to disagree with that post? Are you saying that 50-70 year olds are in the military doing combat? Really? You know, the military, that bastion of light that all cons love to defer to in every argument. Can't have it both ways.
You boomers should have voted better in the world y'all created.
