[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an older Millennial.  When I started working post law school, I received much unsolicited  personal advice re finances ("I could save $2 a day by not buying a tall Pike SB coffee.").

I married well.  My husband pulled another 7 figures this year.  One cup of SB tall coffee a day is worth a pair of shoes to me now, and I have enough shoes.

I should be providing unwelcome financial advice to those who use to degrade me, but I won't.  Not worth my time or energy. [/quote]

+1. Thank you. I'm a Millenial in a similar situation, and I would never be so rude and stupid enough to unfairly stereotype an entire generation. To all the people condemning the young people moving back into their parents' home, instead of living by themselves, [b]why don't you blame their parents for letting them do it[/b]? Why didn't their parents teach them good spending habits? I bet most Millenials who blow their money and don't grow up were never taught to prioritize saving, and are now encouraged by their lonely parents to come back to live with them.[/quote]

What do you do when there's no one left to blame?  When do you as an adult take ownership of your decisions?  You can fail many times in life, but you are not a failure until you start blaming others.[/quote]

My point is why even start with the blame game? There are people who have it together and others who don't in every generation, so it's silly to point fingers at the ones who seem to be struggling, and blame an entire generation for being directionless and spendthrift...just as pointless as it is to blame their parents for being bad parents. If you decide to stupidly attack and blame an entire group of people, you bet they're going to defend themselves and blame you right back.[/quote]
