[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate those self serving ads by WF showcasing a millennial couple eating out several times a week (once at a food cart), and that being the prime reason they can’t afford downpayment on a house.

Such BS. It’s sky high rent, student loans, and medical insurance — not avacado today du jour

Maybe instead of offering sham financial counseling, they offer low fixed rate student consolidation loans.

I totally get what you're saying.  Sky high rents and student loans are a problem for so many.  But I also feel like a lot of millennials just do not know how to save.  They are a generation who has never had to endure hardship. I'm not talking personal (family divorce, low income).  I'm talking generationally (war, really bad economy).  I think people who have been comfortable their entire life just don't know how to prepare for the worst.  Eating out three or four times a week can mean a difference between an ok place to live and a nice one.[/quote]

Who was the last generation to actually endure hardship as you define it? The boomers maybe? Definitely not Gen X; if anything Millennials have had it much harder (try graduating college in 2008 and competing with 40 year olds for entry level jobs). [/quote]
