re: Why Are Millennials So Different?

Im 23 now, married with a kid on the way, work 55+ hours a week, bought a house at 21 and a truck the next day, own a boat, been working my whole life, started my current job at 19 once I realized I had no idea as to what degree I wanted. I put God first then family and friends, I would never call myself a millenial or associate with these asshat kids that think they should be given everything they want.

Congrats on the dead-end job and the inevitable midlife crisis lurking in the background.

One day when you are 40 something, you will roll over, stare at an empty bed and realize that you wasted your life away.

You will manage to get to work through that hangover, cuss about your manager under your breath because you think that he's a kid and doesn't understand business, and still slug through the same job you have today.

After work, you will want to visit your kids but the wife has custody and is being plowed by some computer nerd that lives two cities away and makes three fold your salary.

Ahhhhhh...the American Dream!

Congrats, but this is a dumb move financially given the current rate environment and the growth opportunities available elsewhere.

See, Part of it is on their friends .... When we were 6-10 years old in mid-late 80s, we would hold fight clubs in the dark spaces between 2 houses where the roofs overlapped that was always cold, muddy, & wet.

Some of the best times of my life, grinning back to my house with ears swoll up and blood on my knuckles. Puerto Ricans, blacks, Mexicans, Caucasuans... All of us threw down regularly,
Nobody would f with us except the people that wanted to Join. (Oh, and inb4 yoursuchabadass) ha we had fun

That sounds idiotic. Congrats on being an idiotic child, I guess.

This pie chart is such utter bull shut idk where to begin... Oh yea I do... Defense spending is easily over half the pie chart...this ain't even close to being right

Defense spending is over 50% of the discretionary spending, but that's only a fraction of the overall budget. There's also mandatory spending and interest on federal debt.

Clearly, the Congressional Budget Office doesn't know anything about the budget. (yes sarcasm)

Well that's kinda what I was thinking. The pie chart claims the CBO as it's source so I was wondering where he got the notion that it was wrong. It's like people are unaware that entitlement spending is now like 50% of the Federal budget and they just can't accept it when the facts tell them that's the case.

This entire thread is pure idiocy. I can feel my neural pathways degrading after only a page of this mindless drivel. Christ some of you folks are off the fricking rails.
