Sarah Solomon had a pretty sweet life. The 20-something publicist was always out at fashion events, dinners and parties and even hung out with John Legend during Fashion Week.
It was definitely New York glamourous the black dress, leather pants and high heels, and an hour putting on my makeup, says Solomon. Anyone would think I had a really fun life, meeting cool people and celebrities.
But she yearned for something more and resented only having two weeks of vacation a year. So, last August, she quit her seemingly great job at a plum downtown p.r. firm.
I wanted to travel more I didnt want to have to ask for time off and grovel for extra days, you know? says Solomon, now 25 and living in a rental house in Kauai, Hawaii, overlooking the beach.
Over the past 10 months, shes scaled volcanoes in Guatemala, soaked up the waterfalls of Bali, Indonesia, and basked on glorious beaches halfway around the world. She gets by doing freelance p.r. work on the road, so long as she can get decent Wi-Fi in paradise.

Per this article:

There are three active volcanoes in Hawaii. Two on the big island that I mentioned and one underwater. Per this article:

Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian islands and has no active volcanoes. The article in this thread says that she is on Kauai.
I’d think that rents should be pretty cheap right now if you are willing to relocate to the SE coast of the Big Island. Dramatic views are free.

Millennials were gifted a massive giant debt s**t sandwich by their Baby Boomer parents. I hope there's retribution in store.
"Lazy Millennials don't know how to work!" whines the generation that paid less than five grand for a college degree, $50,000 for a new home, $4,000 for a new car, and a $200 hospital bill to have a child.
LOL. Geothermal heating close by!
Are you joking? There's not going to be SS benefits for Millennials. Millennials aren't going to retire. They'll work until they're dead or hospitalized. They might as well enjoy life now.
I would not survive in that environment
Well, if you take that stance, you can’t “miss” what you never had. Even without SS, why would you NOT save for retirement someday?
No offense, but with the way things are these days at workplaces ranging from drama to the backstabbing I just feel the satisfaction of surviving another day.
Nice work if you can get it. Is she a trust fund baby? Living in Hawaii is super expensive. I’ll bet she’s intolerable to be around, to anyone but other bums just like her.
Millenials have a good attitude in that they are into experiences/travel more than possessions. A lot of them own very little besides a phone. laptop and some clothes.
They are also often living like 20yos well into their 30s. I think a lot of them will have a hard time retiring as they aren’t buying houses or investing as much as previous generations AFAICT.
I didn’t really start saving money until I was in my 30s - I see the millenials being about 20 years behind the curve investment wise.
I was wonderful by the same thing: burnt out from dressing up and going to parties as part of work?
Two weeks a year vacation is pretty standard for young employees. And she couldnt have worked for long if shes all of 25 now. Where I work, new hires get one week!
grrrr.... I hate auto-cowrecked.
bump
You are right , she is not a whiner, she is a whiner botch
