Why do Millennials think they're special?
When everyone is special, nobody is special.
This ain't true
A house in greater Vancouver would be 100-200gs 30 year ago and now its 1-2 mil
In the states idk, is there no jobs and that's why for them?

Yeah I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
For boomers:

>buy a car next month, house next year set4life + move up the ladder
for millenials:
>grow up in wealthy family that pays for your education or get a fuck ton of scholarships in a STEM field
or
>be poor
>>74712912
Because there were no poor people up until the last 20 years, right?
>>74712912
Why not get a scholarship in a STEM field? Sounds like a good idea.
>>74712912
Student debt (along with the absurd price of most degrees) is the key difference here.
>>74709405
Millennials thing they're the big shit because they can communicate with the rest of the world and the knowledge they can acquire is just as far as a click. The thing they don't realize is that they're inept, both socially and intelectually to make that stuff something worth that will give them money. Apart from the fact that if they're challenged with real life problems they can't solve shit.
Don't be surprised if the millenials become the most suicidal generation after they reach their 40's
its never been more expensive to go to a good college
Trade schools are always an option

Not just the parents, shit economy due to boomers and other malfeasant shitheads
Also blame Bill Clinton for repealing the Glass-Steagal act that lead to the mortgage meltdown due to deregulations.
>>74717001
yeah your good at least you are heading somewhere. I never understood the living with your parents is bad meme. If you are doing it, but you still have a stable job/profession and are only doing it temporarily then what's the problem?
>>74715374
it's oversaturated. a huge meme on /g/ with basis in truth is that computer-related fields are flooded with pajeets, and most people who go into stem either go to failed startups or do codemonkey jobs and they will eventually be replaced with pooinloos. that's why people should take something like engineering or finance and not compsci
>>74709405
My family is super poor. I live in city housing (ghetto). My father left us when I was 9 (2 other brothers) and left my mother to raise us without any support including financial. My mother worked two jobs to raise us because she didn't have an education.
I just finished my first year of uni majoring in comp sci and minoring in math. Working a part time job now.
Skilled trade jobs are both shit financially and labour intensive. If I get employed I could triple your salary.
>>74717113
Every other generation:
Go to college, get a part time job, get out debt free

Go to college, get a part time job, stay in debt for the rest of your life

It's only wrong if you're NEET.
My granddad left my dad his house and land, I live with my dad and when he goes I get the house.
It feels good knowing I'll never have to buy a home or pay a mortgage
>>74717217
Well it does make it a lot harder to break through, unless they whore themselves.
>>74717508
its bad after a while. like I could afford to move out and rent, but id rather stay here another 3 years, for a lot cheaper, then move out and own a house and decent car and start building up.
its kinda weird bringing girls home and shit, but itd be the same if you lived with a few friends, only difference is your parents wouldnt judge, and give you your space while your friends cock block you for a laugh.
>>74715910
Generally accepted term is 1981-1999. This causes a lot of butthurt and no one wants to believe it though.
Although in reality millennial is anyone younger than me I don't agree with
>>74709405
top kek
My parents bought their second house in 1985 for $80,000 and sold it 2 years ago for $520,000 with few renovations.
That's some fucking insane inflation.
>>74718275
yep I almost feel into that trap. Just rent an apartment if you don't have the cash for a house to at least nudge yourself in the right direction before you get to comfortable. Also find some better friends lol
>>74709405
I could've bought a Lexus but I bought a pickup truck instead. Put myself through three years of college with a firewood business and guiding hunts. Then I got an office job and hated it despite good money and career opportunities. Now I'm living with my parents again at 22 and work on a farm. Life is good. I'll finish college and move out when I get tired of my current conditions.
>>74718031
good to hear man, make sure you leave it for your kids too since you liked it so much
>>74709405
Because the Jew power structure wants to promote Baby Boomers and Millennials knowing these two generations are uber liberals.
The Jew is scared to death of GenX Conservatives. So they've all but erased us from history by never mentioning us.

I actually have talked to a lot of old people at my job about this to make sure it wasn't some millenial bias.
One old guy was telling me you could buy a brand new pickup and pay it off within like 3-6 months. He told me that he'd buy a new VW beetle every year and then destroy the thing for work.
Ask your elders man, they will tell you how cheap things were. My grandpa paid for his entire college with a part time job and their exams were all open book.

that was a less precent of your income then now

Still true.

yes, but you actually moved up when know there is no real advancement

Look, there just are not enough jobs, there just aren't. Tthe 70s was when legal immigration was greatly increased from a trickle to a flood, now those immigrants kids are grown up. all the good white collar jobs are locked out, all the factory jobs left. There are not enough jobs to go around, deal with it. Even my manager tells me 30 ears ago if you didn't like the way you were treated, you would walk across the street for a better job, not true now. My old porsffer told me when she moved here you never saw bums in the street at all, and now they are everywhere

To clarify, ask the people that are your parents' parents in their 60s-70s they will tell you. Your boomer parents in their 40s-50s were the spoiled cunt generation raised by the old people that had everything handed to them with no appreciation and then use it as an excuse to dwindle their children so they can save a few extra shekels.

I get the same impression, but don't let that fool you. They're just complaining about inflation. It's the back in my day shit.
What they still don't get is that jobs today don't compensate enough for the inflation. A few years ago everyone was still telling me to go apply at a car manufacturer since they have great pay and benefits. What they don't know is that that's all gone to shit, it's all temp work now and if you do get on full time permanent you will never make what the older generations were making.

>>74719448
know what you have accomplished boomer? ruining the economy, importing degenerate inferiors and causing climate change so you smug fucks can sit on ass raking in your investments that payout 500% more than what you paid.
GenX is saving the West. Our generation is heavily conservative. Exactly why the Jews quickly moved to erase us in the mid 90's. They even removed all of our Heavy Metal music from the award shows, and replaced it with nigger rap. It was a complete systemic phaze out of GenX culturally. But we've always been here innovating and developing... GenX is the most educated, with the highest IQ, and far more likely to be entrepreneur. We have a natural rejection of Leaders figures the Baby Boomers needed. We're all basically highly intelligent rogue types.
We're coming into power, and the Jews are scared to death.
Millennials are nothing. They simple used our products and services acting like they own the shit or something. Just a bunch of trendy iPhone snobs full of undeserved righteous indignation.
GenX is kicking the shit out of both Boomers and their autistic grand kids in 2016.
Don't expect the Jew Media to tell you about it though. We're so scary.

Authors Strauss and Howe use 1982 as the Millennials' starting birth year and 2004 as the last birth year,[1] but Howe described the dividing line between Millennials and the following Generation Z as "tentative" saying, "you can’t be sure where history will someday draw a cohort dividing line until a generation fully comes of age."[19]

No, there was literally two generations that did that. Every generation before that viewed college as an institution for the top 10% of the country, and usually had a job at a factory or a farm. Even Boomers didn't really need to go to college to get a cushy job.

You have no idea how insane GenX is. If we don't get Trump into power... it's full on civil war burn down the system. So hold on to your millennial panda bear hats.
We understand GenX are the Jews biggest worry. First they erase us from history, then they genocide us with immigration. Then they try to replace us with transgender millennials as if we were never born.
No longer....... the fire has become an inferno.

I can't find a person over 40 who thinks Unpaid Internships are a good idea. I asked my family about it at Thanksgiving, some of them thought I was fucking making it up.

>>74725179
its 2016 why not just take night classes at a community college then finish your degree online from a decent instate university.
Its not like a 40 year old mom needs the college experience and actually showing up to class
>>74723963
Your right. We're the last generation raised with most of the old school values and getting to the age where we make shot happen in the world. We were all told we have no future and we don't give a shit. Most of the people my age are hard as fuck compared to millennial's and the boomers are way too old to physically do anything to stop us. They can vote and maybe throw money at things but we're coming to power now
>>74709405
>retire comfortably after a lifetime of working and saving
So why boomers didn't and keep complaining?
>>74709405
The problem is unfortunately at the roots. They are the broken product of a failed social experiment, the first generation the Jews have really gotten their hands on. They are are sexually and socially deluded to a point of apathy.
>>74725348
So I take minimal classes, attend from 6 PM to 2 AM then go to work at 8 AM the next morning?
Not only increasing the amount of time it takes me to finish college by a few years (increasing the amount of fucking money it costs), but wearing me down bit by bit?
What about people who work at night? I don't know if you've ever worked graveyards but it destroys your health. You literally HAVE to spend the day sleeping with only a few hours of waking time during the day to function after doing it for a few weeks to a month.
I say this shit and people say "Oh you're just not working hard enough" or "You have to make sacrifices."
I worked 12 hours a night and still attended 9 credit hours a semester but apparently that's not fucking enough. Apparently the older people think I should just not sleep anymore?
Some days I had to take 5 minute showers if that simply because between driving, working, eating, school, and getting maybe 4-5 hours of sleep at most, I didn't fucking have time to shower.
But no. I just didn't try hard enough.
>>74725423
>We're the last generation raised with most of the old school values
50% of millennials are in the exact same boat, the other 50% have been fed enough social justice, identity politics, and made up genders to buy into the delusional geriatric fantasies of boomers. Don't you fucking write us off, you're going to need us to help us fix the shithole of a world our parents made for us. If we pull it off, we'll be the next greatest generation, if we don't, the world is fucked.

I was talking more about a mom who wanted to go back to school rather than you.
Shit sucks senpai but as long as you dont fail classes you can pull out with a degree

My mother dropped out of high school just a few months from graduation. She went on to almost immediately land a job as an accountant and worked at that for 35 years.
She literally told me, "It's as easy as walking in and asking to see the manager to hand him your resume and get your name in there.
She doesn't understand why I don't have a $50,000/year job yet, and thinks I should stop going to college and just get one of these magical jobs that pays a living wage immediately, like she got.
Right now I work a part-time job and go to college for an IT degree, sometimes I also work a second part time job. I've probably made, in total over the course of my entire life, ~$20,000, and that's really pushing it. The most expensive single item I ever bought was laser surgery for my eyes. I've never owned my own car, and even if I did, I'd never be able to afford the car payments.
Even just a few extras like my monthly phone bill (cheapest plan, $33.60), or eating out ($10-$30) eat up almost all of my 'luxury' cash.
At this point, even if I did get a $50,000/yr job, I don't even know wtf I would spend the money on. I've learned to basically subsist on nothing.
>>74726059

I worked graveyard security for some warehouse in college.
I am a pretty introverted person so I did not feel socially ostracized or anything. I was happy to chill and read a book or post on /x/ to kill the time. I kept my weight down by counting calories and slow cooking food at home to take to work, IDK maybe my ancestors were just night watchmen or something
>>74726123

>>74726323
who ever hired your mom was a grade a retard for letting a high school drop out manage their books.
>>74709405
Because they educate themselves with the aim of having the easiest work if you want to call it "work" but realized that in todays society college education is barley enough to get actual work so their dream of a easy work free life was shattered :(
>>74726326
I have a wife, which means I can't just sleep, eat, work. I also had other obligations outside of those things. I guess working overnights is perfectly fine when you're a bachelor who doesn't care much.
>>74726393
yeah I hear working mixed shifts can be really hard on couples. Lots of the guys working night shifts also had wives working at hospitals at night or something too.
I did have a qt gf go to a fuck ton of baseball games with me just so I could bullshit with her for a few hours before showering and going to work
>>74709405
the fuck?
do you get all your info on millennials from television?
Plenty of them are busting ass and eating shit for success. The losers will fade into obscurity with you, anon.
>>74726323
Holy shit this. I make about 500 dollars every paycheck. I learned to support myself AND my wife on this. Then she gets a lucky break and starts making about 1000 dollars a paycheck. So we alternate getting 500 one week, 1000 the next week.
I have literally no idea what to do with all of this money. After I buy groceries, cat food, toilet paper and whatnot I have so much leftover. I bought a brand new PC, finally upgrading the low end one I had in 2005, and I STILL feel guilty for spending that much money, even though it hasn't hurt us at all.
Honestly, it's made me want to try to find a salary position that makes me 40k/50k a year. I can only begin to dream of what I can do with that money.
Too bad I have to go back to school.
25 here, I've never worked more than 1 job in my life and I'm getting my Master's Degree in 2 weeks.
How fucked am I? The worst part is, I almost consciously try not to live like a millenial. I'm aware they're all degenerates.
>>74726483
I currently work as a cash manager for a movie theater, and I keep telling the General Manager that I need to have opening shifts rather than closing shifts due to my wife's new schedule. This guy's got a wife and 7 fucking kids and he adjusts his whole schedule around them, but when I ask to work my 8 hours starting in the morning rather than the afternoon, he tells me that it's "just not in the cards right now".
Thanks jackass. Now I have to either quit or find a new fucking job. I'm not asking to work less, I'm asking to work at a different time. My schedule already fucking changes every god damn week it wouldn't be too much to ask to fucking make sure my shit's in the morning so I don't work until 2, sometimes 3 or 4 and then have to be up the next morning at 7 because that's when my wife gets up for work.
I bitch to people about this and they think I'm fucking entitled. What drives me nuts is when my single unemployed friends tell me to stop being so needy. I just want to toss them in a fucking dumpster when they say that shit. I don't feel like I'm asking for the fucking moon when I ask to work from 9am to 6pm instead of 6pm to 2am.
>>74726503
as long as you are saying for retirement and have a 6 month oh shit fund in case you get canned you can spend your money however the fuck you want.
I have friends who shit on me for buying $400 hockey season tickets yet that gives me 34 nights of entertainment and they drop $50 bucks at a bar multiple times a week
>>74726646
as long as you have a clean criminal record you are fine. Whenever I feel shitty i remember being on jury duty and seeing some 23 year old ex felon spic get charged with a bunch of gun crimes and more felonies, my life is not as shitty as his
>>74726059
Agreed.
All the day shift people happily went home at normal hours and looked fresh. Graveyard had the reject pile of humans.
I worked swing shift from 4pm to 1am at a walmart doing the truck crew, essentially a warehouse-like job, except worse, and left there looking like a crack fiend.
>>74726390
Well it was 35 years ago. Maybe just being a woman and looking attractive was enough to get hired for a job back then.
Mostly she does shipping/receiving and sometimes accounts-payable, but apparently she hates the latter because it involves too many phone calls.
>>74726732
I only have like 2 or so traffic violations but that's nothing.
But the thing is, I'm almost certain I'll be a wagecuck even with this degree. Jobs are looking for people with 5 or more examples of prior experience.
>>74726688

I sat down with my boss and had a 20 minute pre-planned discussion about my schedule. He made it perfectly clear that I'm here to "Meet the needs of the company, and that means working whenever we say."
This is the same guy who will decide at 10 PM on Friday night that there's going to be a meeting at 6:45 AM Saturday Morning, and not attending is punishable by suspension or termination.
Sounds like it might be time to bail, but if I'm unemployed after only 6 months, I'll never find another job.

That's how it is now. Women get all the easy as fuck jobs that make decent wages and look good on resumes. Sure, they're not top-tier careers like being an engineer, but they're piss-easy with decent payouts.

This. Millennials have been unironically forced into a do or die situation the likes of which have not been seen since LBJ's ''''''great'''''' society and the ''''''great''''' depression. Problem is, boomers and their autistic obsession with Jewish media have told us that not fighting your way to the top by being responsible, aware, and bringing ruin to the blatant kikes is normal, acceptable, and should be applauded.
I'm a centrist, but things have been pushed so far into insanity that Trump-tier solutions are the only way to change shit.

>>74726646
Depends what the Masters is in and if you have interviews or job lined up
>>74727076
You have to find another job before you bail, at least since you don't start until the afternoon you can go to interviews in the morning.
The reason the boomers had it different is because a greater percentage of the workforce were union members, and even non-union jobs had to treat their workers better/invest in them/train them/promote from within/etc, just to compete for their labor.
Now everything is a race to the bottom and rats in a barrel.
>>74727548
This. I can't stand feeling utterly replaceable. I know I do good work, and since I started our scheduling efficiency has gone up, we've gotten better ratings, better customer service, etc., but if the boss decides that he doesn't like me for any reason, I'm just replaceable. Why? Because there's 1,000 other retards who are not only willing to do my job, but are chomping at the bit to get it, despite how crappy my job is at the end of the day.

Before anyone says I should do it on my own, he told me to her and my face he would help with anything we could ever need and support us until she is allowed to work. He offered my the help. I wouldn't have done it without that. He said I just want grandkids so start making them. My wife lost the baby and now is back home in Europe. I am going to her when I can. Honestly feel sorry she had to even deal with the situation.
Not even mad my mom was cheating on him and his cucked self cried and bought her an $7K ring she liked from Jared or some shit.

Have to mention. My dad is an actual fucking JEW. This is a man who only took me to the dentist when it was free for the poor people on a specific day out of the year. The man was in the military and I was a child who gets almost free medical but it was too much for him. Had to wait for it to be free.
Didn't even take me to the hospital when I broke my wrist. Said it wasn't broke and took me to my baseball game. I still remember the sound my wrist made when I swung the bat and heard my bones clicking in my wrist. Took me 3 days later when it was swollen and bruised.
