  • I mean… I’m 29 and grew up being told that everything my parents enjoyed would literally never be a reality for me. I was 14 when the economy crashed in 2008 and 17 when gas prices first started spiking and never went down. I had to take out a $40k loan just for 1 year of university when my parents had the chance to graduate nearly debt-free and use their summer jobs to qualify for a mortgage.

    Maybe you’re thinking of Gen X or something, because I really wouldn’t consider 1995-2015 (roughly the time when Millennials were coming of age) a golden era.
