Nothing wrong with that, especially if you're paying your share of the household bills.

Pretty much, yes. It's not so much that you'll frick it up worse. It's that your too ignorant to fix it. Moreover, you're too arrogant to realize how woefully ignorant you really are.

I have a few semesters left and my biggest fear is not being able to find a job and having to move back home. I have nothing against my parents by any means, I just can't live with them.

If we as a nation keep electing morons like Obama, then NO, the problems will not get fixed. by the millenials or anybody else.

Wait, is he seriously arguing that millennials suck because they don't go to church. Lulz.
He somewhat had me at the other points, but trying to posit that our country is effed because people in their twenties and early thirties don't attend a church service is unbelievably stupid.

I'm 24 years old, I went to college and majored in Agricultural business and Economics...definitely not a worthless degree. I'm stuck at home with my parents working on the farm making 21k a year with 24k in student loan debt, a truck payment with insurance, etc. I've built my credit rating up over 750 by working since I was 10 yrs old part time and always paying for my own stuff. I'm currently working on receiving an investment to get my own farm so I can move out and start my own life...I've been approved on the investment and representatives of the investment group are coming this week to verify that the company exists. Not all of us millenials are worthless..many of us are trying. The deck is way more stacked against us today than it was for Americans 50 years ago. I have confidence my generation will succeed.
I'm right there with you. I'm 27. I went to LSU on full scholarship. I have a bachelors and masters degree. I'm in the army. But I also am single and have a a ton of student loan debt. Is it suddenly a moral imperative that I get hitched instead of being fiscally responsible and paying off more debt?

Even if people don't 'buy in' to the whole religion thing by going to church, most churches do remind us of our morals and strive for things more nobler than just focusing on ourselves. I'm not sure if belongs with everything else the author was touting though.
Also, I've got a 26 year old that just moved out. He graduated college about a year ago, but just now found a good job (Exxon) away from home, so he moved to Baton Rouge about a month ago. He could have lived here as long as he wanted, and I've told him that since he was a kid. Moving out had nothing to do with his maturity to me. As long as he had a job and wasn't blowing his paycheck, I didn't care if he lived with me forever. Other countries are much more understanding of multi-generational=families living in the same house and I don't see whats wrong with it. Now if they are just a bunch of free-loading bums, then that's entirely different.

Don't care about them, as long as they can cut my lawn.

Exactly. Hell i have a GF of over 2 years who wants to get married, and we probably will. I just tell her to finish school first and let me get my own company up and running so I'll be financially stable first. I'm not gonna start out in deep debt and never be able to work my way out of it. I can get out of debt faster if I'm not supporting a family also.
And on the church thing..I'm devout Christian and pray often. yet I haven't been to church in over 6 years. Church isn't a requirement for being a Christian and studying the bible. I just got tired of judgmental pricks acting all holy and mightier than thou on Sunday when I know good and well they were out getting hammered cheating on their wives that Saturday night.

My mom and dad are both two times divorced.
Two time divorced. Each. 4 divorces. That's a lot of divorcing.
The last generation didn't realize that marriage meant forever and she gets half if it doesn't.

I'm 31 so that makes me a millennial I guess? I don't even know.
But I am pretty sure that millennials had nothing to do with creating government entitlements, bleeding social security dry, amassing 16 trillion in debt. Article basically says "we left our mess for you to deal with, and we don't believe you can"
