[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby Boomer here who did not benefit from any of the items you mentioned. I just worked two jobs when I could so that I wouldn't have massive student debt, and if I couldn't afford it I didn't buy it. I kept my cars for ten plus years and keep my smart phone forever, resisting the urge to have the newest and best. That's something your generation has perfected, the need for instant gratification and if you don't get it, you point your little fingers at everybody else, it's always someone else's fault, always. Not buying into your pity part, actually a little sick of your generation. Who are you going to blame when we all die out? No worries, I know you'll find someone or thing to blame other than yourself. Go take your nap. 
Oh no, you'e not allowed to complain about having graduated into the worst economy since the Great Depression, or about having massive student debt that Baby Boomers didn't have. That makes you narcissistic.

Are you delusional? I worked three jobs, went to school full time, and still had massive student debt. That is because school just COSTS more now. That $7 minimum wage goes a hell lot less far than it did 30 years ago. FWIW, I paid off that massive debt by working at a job I hated and doing without, just praying I didn’t get sick or injured in a car accident because that could have quite literally destroyed my life. I was well into my 30s before I could buy a house. The Boomer who sold that to me made a tidy 200% profit.

To be honest, I can’t wait until your generation dies off. You climbed up the ladder your parents left for you and pulled it up behind you. You destroyed the social fabric of this country with your conspiracy theories and unending greed. See, e.g., the Great Recession, caused by your lies and your cheap McMansions you just had to fill with the latest in faux Tuscan garbage. You voted for bad policies that benefit corporations at the expense of people. Right when our country is about to break under the weight of your senior entitlements (that’s what they are, even if you paid 1% of the cost for them), you give yourselves a fat tax cut. You start dumb wars to keep the $ flowing and the people scared. My infant son will be paying off your debts for the rest of his life. When you die, we can start to clean up the mess.

It will mean more doing without, but we millennials are pros at that by now.
