Sucks to be a millennial

Based on that link, it sucks way worse to be a boomer. Poor and old is the double whammy.

Based on that list, it sucks to be average period. I hate to be any generation’s average.

So baby boomers have been working their entire lives and make an average of 50,000? That’s more pathetic than the other numbers. At least the other generations still have time to make money. Enjoy working till you’re dead.

Welp! I guess I’m doing MUCH better than my avg Louisiana Millenial.

Exactly! Looks like we got a lot of pissed off millennials in here. I'm a millennial but I don't sit here and blame everyone else when I can't do anything about the situation. Get out there and earn more money.

Is Tennessee the only state where Gen X makes more than Baby Boomers?

This seems reaaaaally low. I don’t consider myself to be an OT baller but I make way more than all of these.

They must be averaging in the unemployed and homeless or something.

District of Colombia
Millennial: $60,000
Gen Xer: $90,000
Baby boomer: $75,000

The swamp pays well.

California
Millennial: $38,000
Gen Xer: $56,000
Baby boomer: $60,000

I have no idea how Californians can afford those housing prices.

Turns out I am poor after all, thanks for sharing. Wishing everyone a great day at work, because based on this news, I’m not the only poor soul working this week.

A general average is a bit misleading and probably skews the stats a bit low. A better gauge would be level of education like didn't complete HS, some college, 4 year degree, graduate, etc...
