>>My boys are both millenials and are doing quite well. Own their own homes and already have a lot of $$ saved.
Do you understand that they are not typical of their generation?
There’s a lot of factors that explain the situation of the Millennials. There are exceptions, and virtually every child of a FReeper are those exceptions.
But, they didn’t get to have a free range childhood where they accepted the pains of their actions and they reaped the rewards too. They never got to lose, so they never got to win. They were leashed as small children, play-dated as pre-teens, forced to grow up sexually at an early age, and then hamstrung as teens trying to find the growing adult inside.
Then they entered the world that expects machine-like efficiency and their childhood experiences which taught them to quit early when facing difficulty so they can just get the Participation Trophy kicked in.
As adults, they decided to stay adolescents forever. They are a lost generation that will never amount to anything useful. They blame the world and the world blames them. Both are right. Of course, YMMV.

Hit the nail directly on the head!(BTW,wife and I were both Science TEACHERS surrounded by idiots and refused to drink the liberal Kool Aid)
