really depends on the industry. I'd be interested to find out whether that statistic is being inflated by a high number of certain type of jobs that weren't as prevalent in previous generations like tech for example

I was going to buy a new vehicle, but I'm thinking more of a down payment on house...idk

try to get max available financing for the home, maybe a late model used vehicle, keep those in a budget that allows you to keep putting that much away, a lot in tax deferred investments, some maybe in stock, and by the time you're in your fifties you'll look around and ask where in the frick did I get all this money?

I appreciate it. I finally got past my bad habits and I'm looking at my checks like where the frick did I get all this money?

is it possible to work in the same company for 40 years now?
Probably, but it's stupid.
I'm 8 years out of school and have worked at 4 or 5 different places of employment (depending on how you view one of my "transitions").
I do know people who graduated with me and are still at my first place of employment. That is not a wise move.

Seems like a way to screw yourself out of a lot of money

It's tough for me. My salary has increased 241% since I first started here ten years ago. I feel like I'm probably maxed out for growth, but I'm 34 making what some 50+ people make. Even with just COL raises I'll be very comfortable. My job is very very low stress too.
I'm always casually looking, but there aren't a ton of high paying jobs in New Orleans. At least not posted for the past year.

I’m interviewing two college kids today and I was told to pick the one who I feel will fit in and stay with the company longest. Both are smart kids and have similar credentials. But they don’t wanna train people anymore to move on somewhere else.
So I get to ask stupid questions about our company to see how they respond.

That's not a technicality. That's where a large portion of millennials were born.
1980-1995 is the general range for millennial births.

I'm on the cusp, but I will say if I had started where I am now doing the same thing, I'd sure as heck would still be here. If I had gotten in on the same deal my father got, I'd still be there.
The removal of pensions I'm sure played no small part in the willingness to change jobs.

I always have a number and a "lifestyle" that will make me move.
An earlier poster mentioned pensions. That's a huge driver of loyalty that is gone for most in private sector.
Different industries have different standards for moving around.
My personal opinion is that the business world is still trying to figure out how to adapt working hours around the rapid advances in communication technology, and as such most professionals either work way too much, or significantly less than you would expect.

Millennials walked into one of the worst job markets in history. Most are probably still not entirely settled in a career but dont let that stop the boomers from bashing them anyways.

If I had to start a new job every 8 months I'd jump off the roof.

I’m 34 and with my 5th employer in my 11-12 years of working.
Initial job out of college - 4 years, stayed about 2 years too long
2nd job - 2 years, liked it but got a much better offer that I had to take
3rd - 18 months, mass reduction in force made that better offer that I took not look so good
4th - 10 months, completely out of necessity and it’s was torture. Was looking for a new job pretty much the whole time and finally found a good one
5th - current, 2 and a half years so far. Love it. No plans to leave at all right now, but I’d bet you a whole hell of a lot of money that I don’t retire from here.

I'd see this and would be hard pressed to consider you a viable candidate
Just saying that I would be reserved about investing time and resources into a potential job hopper

You obviously don't hire management.
