What is the oldest you can be and still call yourself a millennial? Google says born in 1980s counts. I'm pretty sure I have all five.
Now excuse me while I avoid work while scrolling Lemmy. ;).
1986 here, and same. A lot of us older millennials have things pretty well figured out by now.
And yet still every year you will make, functionally, less money than the last. You will get poorer and poorer and it took you longer to get settled than the generation before you.
As a younger millenial, please don’t just slip into the same old tired horseshit that the people before you did. It’s not helping and a lot of millenials are definitely struggling where they shouldn’t have to.
No I won't? I get raises above inflation, and I was married with a mortgage in my mid 20s.
Well that’s a rarity, you must be absolutely raking it in at this point. Most places I’ve heard of tend to not even admit that inflation is real so that any raise they do offer barely, or doesn’t at all, covers inflation and isn’t really a raise at all.
