I’m not a millennial, I’m almost 50. Again, you’re not providing solutions or even acknowledging the issues being raised. I’m not asking boomers to bow out, I’m asking what their proposed solutions are besides "work hard," which is an incredibly insulting thing to say to someone who is working measurably harder than they did, for even less money.
Let's just say I'm an older boomer. I had a rather long reproductive life, so my youngest daughter is a millennial. She has a very good degree from a very good university, one that in my lifetime would have been the ticket to wealth.
Her husband has a degree and a professional job as well. Several years out of college, they are still looking to save enough to buy a house.
I bought my first house while I was a first-term NCO in the Air Force, having been drafted out of college. Didn't even have my degree yet.
That's how things were/are. She's a realist, and they are doing what they have to, without complaint. But they have every right to be resentful.
