You can start a web based business for less than $1000. I have a side hustle that brings in 2-3k a month of basically free money.

It took a few years of work to get it up and running in my spare time - but it wasn’t that hard.

I am referring to presenting Rachel Levine as a 4* admiral or the non binary tiktok WH intern. That stuff is meant to throw a bone at Millenials. And that is the sh*t millenials care about, and not whether or not they will get to own a house, raise a family, start a business, and provide.

This original post obviously does not speak for all millenials, but so many of them are not serious people and are not worried about real world problems.

Do you talk to the average millennial?

I think you're living in an internet bubble.

Outside of vocal internet users, nobody gives a damn about that. People who watch TikTok are not millennials but people under 20 (Gen Z).

Get off the internet/twitter and talk to most millennials in real life.

No one is more guilty of falling victim to the very thing they claim to hate than boomers. You should see the stuff my friends and I convince these boomers of on Nextdoor

The truth is that 95% of millennials aren’t anything like what boomers describe them as. Millennials for boomers are just another way for them to shift blame away from their own failures.

I am a millennial and yes, however my friends group is mostly conservative. I am not on social media other than basically this forum.

So to be fair, I am not personally friends with any millenials that Rachel Levine appeals to, but I know they are out there. Otherwise they wouldn't trot him out.

A lot of you guys were raised on social media and we all know that’s nothing but a propaganda and indoctrination tool.

I am a millennial.

I have multiple children from same wife and have never divorced
I have a large expensive home, decent sized lot, nice neighborhood, in the suburbs
No debt other than house note on very low rate
Luxury cars
Go on nice family vacations
I have savings in retirement and a liquid emergency fund
I don’t play on social media apps

Keys to success:

Go to school and get a degree that actually helps get a decent job
Marry a beautiful woman who is smart
Don’t think yourself above working hard and understood you may have to pay your dues
Pay off debt before living with the nicer things
Live in nice southern areas with reasonable cost of living

This is typical from your single millennial female in New Orleans.

I’m a millennial. I got my first phone when I was 16. Facebook came out when I was a freshman in college.

We were the last generation to NOT be “raised on social media”. We had it in our early 20s.

Yup. My 25 year old is an owner & my 23 started his own company within a year of graduation.

They also never played video games, watched the news or voted Democrat.

America is still the best in terms of opportunity, some kids are not born equal, raised equal nor earn their living equally.

What you put in is what you get out.

I will agree a lot of millenials are insane, but we have also been dropped into a world where our parents could buy nice houses working 40 hours a week at a car factory

Always have excuses. If you are really serious, make it happen

Just because it is possible to “make it” in this world does not mean that millennials do not have justified gripes about real structural issues in our nation’s government, economic policies, and corporate cartel behaviors. At some point, people have to face reality and do the best they can with what they’ve got, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t simultaneously call out the problems we face and fight for positive change.

AOC talking like a 12 yr old is the poster child for this mess. When she talks about her and Bernie being legit 'friends', I can just see her curled up on his lap, in her winter jammies, cuddled in for a nice book reading before he tucks her into bed. With her little teddy bear.

All of these things are possible. Stop making excuses.

I still think that everything was fine until social media came along. Facebook and Twitter have ruined society and whatever sense of community there once was.

I have literally never had a job where it was okay to only work 40 hrs/week.

Your fricking grandparents raised you???!!!

Damn! This retarded shite again??!!! Boomers are post WW2. Gen X is their kids!. Millennials, the shittiest generation, are all on Gen X. See the pattern? Good generation, then bad generation.

"greatest generation" & "gen x" are the good stuff, boomers and millennials gave us the shite stuff.
