    Also completely skipped later millenials, birth date cut off was 1984. Those millenials at least maybe got in before the first once-in-a-lifetime recession.

      You might be surprised to find that younger Gen X had it the same as the millennials but their still young boomer parents told them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and STFU.

        No I understand, I just mean that it’s wild to see a “millenial” survey leave off so much of that group. But later Gen Xers who didn’t get lucky or get started super fast got it just as bad as millenials did.

          And that group got gaslighted over it. Boomers became out of touch pretty much the moment they graduated high school and got jobs because they all had babies super young and lived in a bubble until retirement.
