The life of a millennial:
- Graduated straight into a recession
- “Entry level” jobs required years of experience
- Pensions replaced by the 401k
- Promoted at work meant a 2% raise & 200% more responsibility
- finally felt stable… then a pandemic hit
- Highest inflation in 50 years deleted pay raises
- home prices doubled, renting became permanent
- Childcare costs feels like another rent
- Juggling aging parents, young kids, burnout from work & the cost to live
- AI causing mass layoffs during peak earning years
