18. Trump.
19. White privilege.

Millennials are defined as being born between 1981 and 1996. I am pretty close to the middle of that age group.

Again, i am quite offended...[/quote]

Well that makes me a millennial (1982) I'd better quit making fun of them.
I would say my main stressors include getting enough assets bought/invested in, to retire in about 10 years. Also, as a self employed business owner, having enough work to keep my guys busy, so I can make more time for hunting/trapping (which seems to get less every year.)

Here are complaints about Baby Boomers.



I think every generation forgets most of the stupid stuff they did as kids, as they age and think the next generation is worse. I think a lot of this next generation is worse. Hopefully some may be better too.

From my perspective it is more like...

Affordable, good health insurance.
Daycare availability for kids for 2 working parents. Very hard to find, and weather it is worth it with multiple children or you can survive off a single income.
Retirement...what is it going to look like when I have grandkids? How do I prepare for it?
Public and college education - Do I really want to send my kids to be educated the way things are going?
Government Debt - are we ever going to stop spending money we don't have and pay our debts?
Consumer and College debt - is the whole system going to crash? Everyone going to go bankrupt?
Interest rates - if they ever climb is it going to crash the housing and consumer markets?

They are the next large age group, similar in size to the baby boomers. We can poke fun at them all we care to but they are entering their highest income earning years and will soon be entering the political arena as candidates as well as voters and yes out of those 20 items listed, many are issues that are critical for them to master in the ever changing world and as a group they will succeed very well I am quite sure. They have one characteristic that is essential in an ever changing society and economy they will listen to their own drummer and make their own way. Our society has been trending away from community based to individual based since the late 60's and this generation has navigating this down as well or better than any generation has.

I threw up a little in my mouth thinking about wearing it. Maybe I can use it to wipe the fat off my fleshing knife.

Or not at all, then complaining the hours are to “rigid” and “scheduled”.
