We as Millennials may come off as soft and entitled, but no modern generation has seen as many terrorism attacks, wars, plagues, poverty, cybercrimes, or anything like that like we have. We’re caught in the middle all the time

If you reach 2020 and you were born between 1991 – 1999. You’ve lived in 3 different decades, 2 different centuries and 2 different millennia’s and you’re not even 30 yet.

You know things are bad when the @nytimes’ lede is completely wrong because this is millennials’ second rodeo. I graduated from college in 2007, then watched all hell break loose in 2008. I’ve lived this crisis before. The data and personal experiences suggest you can’t prepare. pic.twitter.com/PRsvDRfTb0

Elder millennials cannot get a break. In the first 20 years of adult life, we’ve lived through
9/11
2nd Iraq war
the 2008 recession
an ongoing housing crisis
London riots
brex*t
Tr*mp
a decade+ of austerity
stagnant wages
the gig economy eradicating careers

Mass shootings, 9/11, two wars, a Great Recession, and now a pandemic. Millennials have lived through too many history book chapters in our relatively young lives for you guys to give us crap again.

Millennials have now been through 4 major bear markets in our lifetime since adolescence.
My punch card says we go through 1 more and we get a free sundae.
