Well done.
Success comes with sacrifice.
You gave of your time with internship.
You took on a retail while acquiring a skillset through education.
That others learn from your experience.
Thanks, your right. Where your wrong is that you don’t realize that theres alot more like me.
Things are different from wheb you grew up. I work hard but times feel more bleak.
About half of millennials are in their 30s. Though a stereotype lingers of millennials as perpetual adolescents, many have reached standard markers of adulthood. Census data shows
far fewer than half of people in their 30s have not married—25.7% of 35-to-39s and 38.4% of 30-to-34s. Parenthood is now the norm for older millennials. The proportion of women who are childless falls from 53.8% of 25-to-29s to 30.8% of 30-to-34s and to just 18.5% of 35-to-39s. Millennials are also mostly earning a living: Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows a bit more than eight in 10 of the 25-to-34s and 35-to-44s are in the workforce as of 2017. All these trends are pushing millennials toward homeownership. Census data for Q3 2018 says 57.5% of 35-to-39s and 48.0% of 30-to-34s owned their homes.

Thanks for your post.
I do realize there are many like you.
The sad part is,unfortunately not enough!
Not sure on the statistics.
But I know we were not in control when we were growing up. War on terror, recession, war with iraq, 9/11 etc.
And yes, we can change things and will. But it would be for the next generation.
I feel like the sifference is that when we vote, we actually wanna have a better future for thenext generations.
Previous ones had this “F* you I got mines” type of mindset. What benefits me today? Not what benefits all of us.
Especially looking at climate change, no one older cares because thryre gonna be dead before things hit the fan. We know we will be affected, and our kids will too.
And Im jot saying this applies to you. If you have kids or grandkids, Im sure you care about them.
Some posts ive seen here were like “i dont give an eff about next generations, I don’t have kids etc”.
Like damn dude, I hope tou live long enough to witness the results and be held accountable.
Even if all that were true, the older generation has only itself to blame. After all, they raised the Millenials to be the way they are now. So your question could also be re-phrased: "Why did so many boomers raise their children in failure mode?".
Good point! Some of my coworkers complain about their 20+ yr old children still living at home with no motivation. From outsider views, this was predictable 10+ years ago. I remember lunchroom conversations between them from more strict parents like 'why are you still doing his laundry, he's 15", etc etc . Of course, it's not all Millenials, but this failure to thrive seems to be a higher percentage than previous generations.

Well Done.
All opinions are valuable as a guide.
One takes what is positive from the message and moves on to better oneself.

Destroy the nucleus of the family and you have set up the generations that follow for hardship.

Although the stats show progress the quality of life measured is not on
the same scale when in comparison to those who consider themselves settled.
Home ownership numbers are skeptical as the unregulated market is in chaos.
I wish continued success to those who work their hides off investing in their future
and focus on family and saving for a comfortable retirement.
The more you work the better off your family will be.........

Why better yourself when one can rely on handouts? Enough people wont work when government will take care of them.
