Oh, I forgot about the college educated. I'm glad millennials had an opportunity to go to college. Only 20% of Gen xers were able to get a four year degree compared to roughly 40% of millennials. We couldn't afford to get any higher learning, nor did we have the time because of the multiple jobs we were required to work just to afford staples this generation takes for granted. Most of them still can't.

It's not just my story. It's my entire generation's story. And it's also the story of boomers, before me. And the same story of the silent generation before them.

Each generation has had their own struggles that were unique to their generation. Millennials don't have it any harder, and it's getting kinda old.

When the millennials grow up and start having grandkids of their own, you'll see this pattern rinse and repeat. Those new kids will complain about the raw hand they've been dealt, and how hard it is to accomplish anything, and all the millennials will be rolling their eyes and trying to explain to them the same thing I'm explaining to you.
