    Not just 90's. Mid 80's kids got screwed over just as well with graduating into the recession of 08, tried to claw out with crippling debt, then got this shit as well.

    All while being told that they should have a house and are "lazy for not having that" by 30.

      Bonus points go to people who graduated college in the aftermath of the '08 recession, couldn't land in a real career in their 20s, then decided to go back to grad school in time to graduate into the aftermath of an even bigger recession.

      1. Owning a house? Only if the market absolutely collapses and I'm lucky enough to have an economy proof job.

      I remember graduating high school in the mid-00s. Interest rates were ridiculously high, like 4% for a savings account. Luckily, with the help of financial aid, I was able to avoid taking out student loans while in college. The ones that had to take out loans were not so lucky.
