These articles by failed millennials (usually journalists) projecting their situations onto the rest of us are quite tiring.

According to multiple sources, over half of millenials own homes at this point. Yes they're about 10% behind Baby Boomers and 5% behind Gen X when they were the same age.

According to the Education Data Initiative, as of 2023 only 22% of adults in their 40s had any amount of student loan debt.

Who edified the journalists to be the spokespeople of how our generation is doing? Millenials that aren't doing well in life are becoming an increasingly small minority as our generation ages. Sorry that you picked a lower-paying career and chose to live in an expensive, happening city I guess?

As a younger millenial I've run out of sympathy for my peers 10 years older who are crying about being single, still renting, etc.
