Then have the brass balls to shun millennials basically pull a bill Cosby "pull your pants up" routine of un self awareness . Your generation and the one before you basically are responsible for creating not a few but a whole generation of latchkey kids because there was no forethought just 2 generations that needed gratification now. When oomers and gen exers accuse millenials of needing self gratification right away it's easy to see that's
Juat classic projection. Boomers and gen exers historically never need to wait for perks they could afford to get it because you could at the time. No self awareness that wages were more inline with inflation not by much but the buying power you had was more proportional than today. Over spending in the last 2 generations fuelled the rising cost cooperation put us today.

I didn’t earn over $30k until I was over 30 (and I moved out of my parents’ house when I was 19). Nobody I knew got into the housing ladder before they were 30. The economy in this province was pretty #### in the 90s.
The North American plost-war boom only lasted about 30 years, and was over by the late 70s. Having a good and secure job straight out of high school and buying a cheap house was a pretty shortlived thing.
