[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why all this is just a millennial problem. I agree, the boomers are hoarding jobs and resources, there is not doubt about that. The younger of the silent generation and older boomers created all this, and now hoard everything while the rest of us scramble and wait. But as a Gen X who had teens in high school during the pandemic, and witnessed horrible mental health, including multiple suicides and fentanyl deaths, scraping by to pay for college, and being way underpaid, I just don't see why we're better off. One thing I would never ever do is take on penalties for early withdrawal. That was just a dumb mistake that is not exclusive to millennials, but rather just the uneducated.[/quote]

Young people always think they're the first to experience anything. Bad marriage? Older people have no idea! Financial stresses? No, older people always had it easy! They are myopic in their depression. Easier to blame on outside factors - the bad luck to have been born in 1981 instead of 1975 - instead of a mix of bad luck, and unfortunate choices.

There's so much passivity in these sorts of complaints, too. Describing a miserable a-turd spouse, and loans they don't feel capable of paying off, but then tossing in that they had THREE kids. Like you'd think after the first, you might think: hey, this is pretty hard, why don't we stop at two. Or stop at one! But NO! It's the misfortune of being born in the early 80s that literally compels one to keep procreating with a guy you don't like very much!
