Breaking news, there's this hot new trend in financial journalism called "zombie writing."
When it's a slow news day, the author writes about something that's literally always been the case and then adds "Millennials are doing X and that's new and scary".
Symptoms of "zombie writing" can include drooling, extreme fatigue, and a lack of financial income.
It's definitely a phenomenon unique to millennials (at least of the generations alive right now). No idea what caused it though.
Refusal to admit that they are now grandparent aged and aren't doing so great themselves.
I don't know that 45 is "grandparent aged", and I'm also not yet that old.
45 isn't actually that unreasonable to be a grandparent. You have kid when you're 21, your kid has a kid when they're 24 and you're a grandparent at 45
I mean I'm not saying that it doesn't happen; but also I suppose I would say that before 25 is probably not the wisest time to have kids.
At least both my parents & my grandparents were older than that when they started their families.
Millennials are 40s. The people who complain about them are 64 and about to retire with nothing
Yeah, that's a strong contender.
