[quote=Anonymous]Even as a millennial, so much of this depends on exactly what you were up to during various points in time. I was in college during the dot com burst and things had reasonably recovered by the time I graduated. I was in grad school for the 2008 recession. I first bought a house in 2010 at the bottom of the housing market and have seen insane equity growth. I'm also an older millennial so college tuition hadn't risen nearly as much as it did for the younger segment of millennials, so my loans were reasonable after some significant merit scholarships. By contrast, there are folks just a couple of years older than me who got pummeled with both job loss and loss of home equity in the 2008 recession. There are also folks a few years younger than me who graduated into the 2008 recession and never did find a job in there field, stunting then professionally. There's a big range.[/quote]
