Lol.
Older millennial here. Born way before 97.
Great Recession when I was recently out of college and trying to get into more serious employment.
Didn't have a career or any type of financial security until I was 35. Was generally the same for most of my peers.
Welcome to hell.
Seriously. A lot of millennials I know realize our retirement plan is suicide.
End if the 80's here. You can set your bags over there by the wall.
We got to get inside the building right when they set it on fire
Pretty accurate I admit
Well if this guy was born in 97, we can't really expect him to know that....well you just told him so NOW he knows. Or he just thinks your old and complaining and to be fair, it's what old people are good at
97 graduated during the strong economy right before covid. They probably are doing fine and riding out the covid-AI-inflation death spiral as well as anybody else in the job market.
2005 is fucked.
90s millennials really got lucky. Too young to be affected by 2008 crash and just getting out of high school to take advantage of Obamas economy. If they played their cards right they bought houses or invested when Trump was putting trillions into the stock market to prop it up and keep interest rates low.
