That statistic being in an article instantly discredits for me. Oh a bunch of people between 20 and 26 are included in that statistic which cause it to look skewed towards the author's favor. Marriage has been beyond fricked up for decades. We don't need more young people getting married before they know how to take care of themselves. Like they need a wife and kids.

I would even venture to say that being married at 20-23 puts you in a bad bucket. I bet the life success of people married at that age is very low as a percentage

I suggest you redefine "life success".

If based on material alone, you are gonna be one miserable guy later on.

I'm a millennial and I'm awesome. In general the baby boomer generation started the moral decline of our country, as well as the selfish psyche that prevails. I'm not saying its all of them, just like I won't say all millennials are useless. I like our odds.

Why is it that anytime people get close to 45 they start bashing the younger generation? I heard the same exact crap from my friends parents, and they heard it from the middle aged before them. You grow up and figure things out. I teach (science before you grammar nazi's go nuts), and there's just as many dumb arse kids from when were in school. There's also a solid number of kick arse kids that bust their arse'.

"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates

Nothing new to see here.

Btw, going to church is not important. Especially if you have decent social connections to rely on. That's just what people who make money from church want you to feel.

the next generation is woefully ill-equipped to inherit the legacy of American exceptionalism, let alone repair it after the damage done before them by the baby boom generation’s fiscal irresponsibility and moral relativism.

Boomers blow the future of their posterity by being selfish, then criticize Millenials for their apathy and unwillingness to take personal responsibility for a problem they didn't cause. Makes sense.

quote:

personal responsibility

If the boomers were so personally responsible, how come they created most of the policies that absolve our current generation from it?

quote:

morality

Right, because the boomers where just moral rocks.

quote:

strong families.

This is just stupid. Boomers promoted and invented the concept that work never ends for salraied people, ignored their families for the sake of the almighty dollar, then criticize Millenials because they wont do the same? But we're the ones that dont value strong families?

This entire debate is tired.

Job, financial success, marriage success etc. As a whole, I dont think those married at 20 in today's society are a successful group

The article totally failed to address the coming reverb when Gen X takes over. The millenials hate us now bc we are like are grandparents--over achieve and refuse to bitch about what is owed to us. We rather earn our keep and problem solve, as opposed to give the squeaky wheel grease or become the squeaky wheel ( for of the millenials, boomers are the grease givers who refuse to solve a problem and you are the squeaky wheel). Our day is upon us. Hopefully we will get beyond the divisive politics created by the boomers (us v them mentality) and work collectively to fix our country before you screw it up and our grandchildren have to fix it again.

I am 31. This tells me it is easier for me to succeed due to less competition from my peer group. I do not fit into the description of the POS millennials included here. I personally cannot stand the entitlement and lack of personal accountability I personally see in those 18-30 years old.

not trying to change the dynamics of the idea but I personally would have to put the blame on certain races and our own government (the older generation) for not regulating free hand outs etc etc etc

Yep. Im 27 and already do pretty well. When the boomers fully retire and pass on, and it is mainly my generation in the work force, it seems like it will be awesome for me. Right on

I've said it before on here. As someone who is neither a Boomer or a Millennial I can look at both generations objectively. and I've got to say those two generations are so much alike it's scary.
