It's estimated that 1/2 of Millennials get a allowance today from their parents and many plan to never buy a house.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

The only allowance this millennial had was, I was "allowed" to live in the house and do what I was told. If you don't work you don't eat, no free rides.

Are you sure its Millennials and not Gen Z?
Millennials are now in their late 20s and 30s. Granted I'm selective but most people at age are pretty hard working and industrious. could be he means Z I have found you can't necessarily compare Wisconsin kids to other places it just isn't apples to apples. I see a lot of very ambitious kids and young adults , I am one of those who believes adult starts the day you turn 18 and not when you hit 27. I work with several Millennials some are buying houses what I am not seeing is hardly any of them having kids. some are but very few. when they do have kids they will likely be 35 before the first is born at the pace they are going. this isn't a new trend the coasts are often a generation or two or three ahead of us in the decline of society.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My millennial in the family says my generation bought up all the housing driving the prices up. So they rent. The real reason they rent is they don’t want the responsibility of taking care of a house. They would rather travel and have been all over Europe, Africa, Central America. They don’t get an allowance lol, but do have great jobs. They also don’t plan on any children.

I'm a millennial at 30 years old, I doubt anyone even 10 years my junior is getting an allowance, but it probably happens. I'll be buying and moving into my third house next week. I dont still own the first two, but never rented any longer than I had to.
Think about where lots of millennials live though, many are involved in STEM jobs, which are seriously lacking in rural areas where most of the houses are for sale. Not too many houses for sale in NYC, Chicago or LA.

Seem the target age they talked about was 20-35 from the way it went, you have to understand a person growing up in the country VS the city have 2 opposite growing environment expectations.

Growing up my parents said I could have anything I wanted, they said get a job and see! LOL Bought my first deer rifle at 14 so that work thing seemed like a great idea!

There is a democrat running for the presidential nomination that wants to give every person $1,000 per month. He said this will spur the economy and give every person incentive to find a job. He feels this will more than cover the 2.1 trillion dollars it will cost.

I'm a boomer and I remember getting an allowance in the late sixties/early seventies. I had to have my weekly chores done; mowing the yard, weeding the garden, feeding the dogs, taking the trash out, etc.
I also remember making much more than my weekly allowance by wading in a local golf course's ponds in the spring and summer, retrieving golf balls and selling them back to the golfers. My brother and I would find hundreds of balls, clean them up and display them in egg cartons on a bench next to a T-off. Spaldings, Titlest and balls with the greats-of-the-day signatures (Palmer, Nicklaus) in good shape brought fifty cents a piece, others twenty-five cents and ball with scuffs or cuts a dime.
In the fall and winter we trapped muskrats, skunks, possums and weasels.
Eh...wot?

He feels this will more than cover the 2.1 trillion dollars it will cost. The man's name is Andrew Yang and he is talking about Universal Basic Income. Although I don't agree with his political philosophy in any sense his reasoning for UBI is somewhat compelling. If his and others predictions of how many jobs artificial intelligence will displace in the next decade come true, it's going to get interesting.

I Have 4 boys twins 18, 16, and a 13 year old. They have worked for every dime they have out our farm and feedyards. They have bought their own school pickups, Phones, toys, etc.. I’ve also made them aware of how fortunate they are two have parents and grandparents that can employ them. 3 of them cut 2000 acres of wheat on there own this summer. Hard workers, but I’m pretty dang sure there grandpa pays them a heck of a lot more then he did me!! I see a lot of kids their age that can’t run a broom. I think a lot of parents just don’t make there kids do anything. Stuck in front of a Xbox or whatever all day, so lazy 30 year olds doesn’t surprise me at all
Everything the left touches it destroys
