You reap what you sow. Allowing kids to stay on their parents' insurance until 26, etc. makes such a statistic possible.

My boys are both millenials and are doing quite well. Own their own homes and already have a lot of $$ saved.

Easy for these snowflakes to believe the progressive dream than to step into reality

I’d say a bigger factor is all the economic destruction that has occurred under Obama and in the recession that preceeded him. There are many factors to blame for that, but the responsibility for doubling the national debt happened on one man’s watch.

But if you listen to some of the idiots on FR you’ll be told it’s all the Boomers fault. But guess what, the Boomers were savers, the Gen-X crowd that spawned these Millennials is what Obama is of.

I believe this is more of a cultural reflection than it is of the state of the economy.

Kick them out at 18 if no college, 22 if college. No exceptions.

Things will turn around rapidly.

When Trump says “Make America Great Again”
I hear: “Make the next generation more prosperous than the current generation. Over and over. The way things used to work.”

It’s a shame that half the country hears “Make America Great Again” and interprets this as: “Let’s bring back Jim Crow so black people can have separate water fountains and get screwed six ways to Sunday.”

I guess we’ll have to wait and see which way Trump really means it. [/s]

Well duh, the government establishment puts out self-serving, lying statistics to fool people into not believing what they can see in their own lives and checkbooks. The U.S. Government establishment, Marxist/Alinskyites all, want a population of peasants who work for almost nothing at crap jobs...so they can hand out the pittance of socialism. The U.S. Government establishment has their own Dacha Society, while the people are turned into well-controlled peasants. The Guillotines were retired far too soon.

It’s the big decline put into motion by corrupt U.S. government and their one world globalist associates.

While President Barack Obama is leaving office claiming victory on the economy, millennials are financially worse off than their baby boomer parents were at the same age.

They don't mind because they are spending their inheritance living in their basements. That will change when their parents run out of money though. Until then it is party hardy time!!!

Actually, that provision in obamacare is the ONE. SINGLE. THING. in his whole atrocity that I was glad for. My kids needed it as they were putting themselves through grad school and were living on a tight budget.

It was a huge help to them to have good quality insurance (ours) at no cost to them, but to us.

FWIW, my kids in their mid twenties, are doing very well financially.

One has been married for almost three years, is on his 2nd job and 2nd house (the job change demanded a move), and the other two are finishing up grad school in in excellent financial shape as they were taught to manage money and not blow it on every little toy that comes along that they have to have.

Your just racis against the female with the male anatomy with a triple major in lesbian studies and social justice, and a few substance dependency and hygiene issues, and $80,000 in school debt. How is this person being given a fair shake? /s
