You're an idiot if you can't accept that gen y has been dealt a shitty hand. Every piece of data proves this.
Name calling always works well in a discussion, right?
Everyone can find excuses for their failures in life. Some choose not to.
I'm no boomer and I guess I'm generation X if we all need a label and I grew up in a middle class family. I was blessed with intelligence and cruised through high school only to struggle in college because I didn't know how to work. I failed early and often career wise and I made plenty of excuses, but I finally took responsibility for my future, learned how to work and started down a career path towards what I would define as success today.
This "hand" you've been dealt is just an excuse, so what are you going to do about it?
There are plenty of opportunities for the taking.

An excuse for what?
The statistics back me up. Baby boomers fricked us financially and economically. It really isn't up for debate.

Whoosh.
That's not the point at all. Scruffy is a med school student; SFP is an attorney; I am a management consultant and former infantry officer. Virtually all of the Millennials piping up in this thread are doing well professionally and have worked their arses off to get where they are and aren't putting up individual excuses.
We're talking on more of a macro level. Anyone who has even a cursory understanding of finance and sociology should understand this.

this thread is funny.. Bitch bitch bitch.. I had a manger have a discussion with me about this. I asked how much he made when he first started he said $6.50 hr in 1980 which is still more than I'm making now with a degree and 3 years experience adjusting for inflation
