I’d also contend the Millennial’s detachment from accountability.....even owning/mortgaging a home is scary to them because they would be on the hook for something.
Yeah. Keep renting Todd.

To be able to have something like this in a decent town surrounding a nice city
I assume there are people living in that house. Therefore they are middle-class

3+ wage earners? Jesus Christ do they all flip burgers for the clown?

That story reeks of bullshite. It's also not simply about the US, it includes 39 other socialist shitholes.

House Prices skyrocket?
I dont think so. Maybe if you wanna live downtown

shite is more expensive today. Health insurance premiums alone for a family of 4 can easily blow up a budget.

Getting shitty degrees and working at Starbucks or bar tending will squeeze you out of the middle class. But hey, win a seat in congress and you will instantly be in the upper class salary wise.
A lot of millennials graduated into the recession. They could be very pragmatic and chosen realistic fields of study, but still be several years behind because of that 2009-2013 job market.
A lot of those types are doing very well now.
I’m worried about the ones that almost seemed to voluntarily opt out of a good career path. They are going to be nightmares to deal with when they grow older.

It feels everything is going up minus wages. However, you can't be jelly about not living in downtown New York. Plenty of small cities like Mobile, Boise, etc where you can grab a reasonable house or condo.

The job I'm doing now for 140k a year my dad did for 30k a year 30 years ago.. why wouldn't prices go up.

You realize there are millennials who are 38 years old right? You old fricks need to understand there’s a generation after us and that’s the one you don’t like (or really, don’t understand with the google and interwebs).
Posted on 4/11/19 at 7:01 am to Stumplstiltzkin
I don't want to be in the middle class. Give me the 1% all day, every day

Anyone who is taught to suck on the govt tit will remain in poverty.
Millennials better snap out of their Democrat-induced socialist coma if the want to live above the level of “existence”.
....but, of course they won’t because they’re stupid.

Sorry but it’s the truth. Not a single thing wrong with an honest day’s work but people need to understand the relationship.
