I see FAAAAR more Millennials going on vacations then anyone else

Project: Time Off research shows that Millennials are not only not taking the vacation they earn, they are the generation that is most likely to forfeit time off, even though they receive the least number of vacation days.


Must be time for you to get new bifocals. Or maybe we should go look over those brochures for those retirement communities again, you keep telling me how much you love Florida

Just cause you made a bad decision off of information acquired from another does not mean it is anyone else's fault but your old. You still need to do your own research and determine if going to school would benefit you. That means taking into account the degree you want, which school to attend, how much loans and scholarships will pay it off, and how much to pay out of pocket. You made the decision to go to school. Don't be a little bitch and ascribe your mistakes to a generation of people before you. Makes you look like weak and unintelligent.

Nowadays a lot of people lack personal responsibility. They don't accept the consequences of their own choices, and instead, blame outside factors: the USA, men, Boomers, ect... I can see why they do it, it's easier to blame other people than admit your own poor choices/laziness/mistakes, but boy are they setting themselves up for failure in the long run.


Nowadays

Rofl you have no clue. Shutup.

Why do people enjoy lumping generations (itself a dubious label to begin with) together? A lot of people in their retirement age built themselves up from nothing and had their own unique challenges to face.

Weird how the concept of "personal responsibility" only falls on the people who are affected by problems and not the people creating them. That the "responsibility" for wages that have been stagnant from over a decade a decade before millennial were even born, a financial crash toppling the largest economy in history that occurred when millennial were still in high school, cuts to public funding for education and financial that were implemented by policies and politicians elected when millennials were studying US history in elementary school, all falls solely on the shoulders of the people that are now suffering the fallout of decades of people abusing the largest growth period the US economy's history for their own short term personal gain.That the only "responsibility" that exists among anyone in the United States comes in the form of young people making the choice that no generation in the nation's history had to make between willingly capping their lifetime earnings and ability to make a living wage capable of supporting a family, or saddling themselves with a lifetime massive debt at crippling interest rates.

People don't actually care about personal responsibility, they just feel uncomfortable with facing the prospect of being held accountable for fixing the thing they broke.

If they didn't receive financial literacy education

I can't freaking stand this argument. They were smart enough to go to college, they're smart enough to know what a loan is. I hear this same thing about guns and sex ed: "if only there were more education!" Everyone knows if you pull the trigger, it goes bang. If you fhjfehdu inside, babby is formed. If you take out a loan, you have to pay it back.

Found the dude who cant find the clit

laughed out loud at this

I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life so I skimped out of doing college applications, doing only 2 of them, a top tier school I had no chance of getting in and a community college. I then tried to look into learning a trade because I'd rather not waste my time testing out paying for classes for things I had no interest in. My dad said no. So I went to college. Luckily, my parents paid for it else I'd be screwed.

Most people are pressured into going to school and are discouraged from going into alternative routes.

Why didn't you invest in bitcoin? Millenials act like they had no opportunity to make money well we were there for the birth of bitcoin and crypto a perfect opportunity to make money. And I know tons of people in their late 20s and early 30s who are doing very well for themselves.
Don't blame the pervious generation for your mistakes we all had plenty of opportunity.


The previous generation is what instilled our values and set the stage for how poor our world is.

That being said, given how this incoming recession is going to be record breaking dreadful, with the threat of automation coming to steal what's left of the jobs, and how every nation out there is out for US dollar's blood, I can't understate how important it is to start researching on distributed ledger technology, or crypto. There's going to be a bull run coming up that will be minting millionaires and billionaires and will completely disrupt economies and create new ones. If anything start with looking up the potential of smart contracts (the true killer of jobs) and what companies are solving the oracle problem, the problem of smart contracts essentially not having their own internet.

If you want to play it safe, either look into stable coins that are trying to be the new world reserve currency like what Facebook's Libra coin is doing. Or if you want to play it reeeeaaaaaally safe, buy silver. So I've heard, for an entire decade, banks bought silver in mass, even silver mining companies. Silver is heavily used in the industry from electronics to medical equipment yet it's worth about ~$18/oz, so it seems like banks have nothing to show for it. Or do they?

"Dang boomers" is even dumber than "Dang millenials". At least "Dang millenials" is coming from older less pristine brains. Whats the excuse for this antiBoomer idiocy?

Like, you get that youre deflecting blame from the people that are really to blame, right?

People need to remive their phones from their brainstems and sign off Facebook for a day.

Grandpa, it's past your bedtime.


You have to be 13 to make a GameFAQs account. Im telling on you.

Imagine being the guy that thinks signing off Facebook for a day is pioneer living. Imagine being the guy who thinks these "joke" memes arent idiotic dickless attempts to lash out at nobody while hiding behind it being a "joke".

Ive got enough losers in my feed stirring that pot of bullshit soup.

So the biggest thing fucking people over on that chart is college and youre blaming boomers? I know you see whats up.

You absolutely should keep lashing out, just at the right people. If you want to poop out a meme, maybe try "boomers make boom boom in pants" for some likes, but if you want to actually discuss any of it, you gotta drop that immature perspective.
