Generally people born from 83-95, imho.

The gnashing of teeth from older generations about us millenials is funny and the same as it ever was. The younger generations are always seen as soft, lazy, and entitled. We'll be saying the same things about our kids.

Summary of thread: yawn

During my first career the ones I have fought beside fought well and could be fearless. While I have noticed a general disregard for moving into leadership positions. Now in my second career, I have observed solid habits and traits but they require slightly more information to make simple decisions. The first group would be from the 80s-90s and the second group would be through thatnlate 90s.

What's particularly frustrating about baby boomers is they say millennials are lazy, entitled, etc.

Baby boomers could go to college for pennies compared to what millennials have to pay. They could buy a new car every three years working in a mud factory. Oh, and that job at the mud factory? They got it just by going up and asking for work. They could support a whole family on their mud money and their wives could stay at home and take care of the kids.

My aunt and uncle still live on an acre in a 3 bedroom 2 bath house they bought for $16,000.

My father in law went to med school at Lsu for $3,500. That's total, not just one semester.

A coworker told me a story that he got a $250 scholarship back in the 70s. That paid for all his tuition and books for a year.

It was MUCH easier for baby boomers to get started because they didn't have to deal with all the bullshite that millennials do. Cars were dirt cheap and you didn't need insurance. Every mistake you've ever made didn't follow you around because of the Internet.

The Millenials' parents told them their entire lives that they had to do well in school so they could go to college. They finish college with $50,000 of student loan debt, can't find a job in their field, and get labeled as lazy and entitled because they're waiting tables to pay rent. Then their parents say "why did you go to college if you're just going to wait tables? You could have done that without a degree."

Baby boomers need to realize how easy they had it instead of retiring at 60 and sitting in their recliners all day whining about lazy kids.
