millennials
What have Millennials done to ruin absolutely everything now? Well, according to a study produced by Mintel, 28% of Gen Y would rather stay in than go out to the bars. The reasoning for staying in? Young people today supposedly like doing everything from the comfort of their own homes, and it takes too much effort to go out, the study says. Millennials themselves are calling out Mintel for skipping some of the necessary details.
Politico published an article recently telling Millennials that they should be willing and able to work for longer than their parents and grandparents ever did in order to retire. Millennials are certainly not having any of this and are expressing their spicy disagreement on Twitter.
Some people in this world just can't seem to take responsibility for their own terrible actions - we all know someone like this, and it seems like they're constantly trying to play it off with some lame sob story to make you feel sorry for them. People on Reddit are revealing the stories they aren't falling for anymore.
It's hard to accurately sum up what it's like to be truly poor unless you've actually experienced it. People will always tell you to stop spending your money on frivolous things that you're not even buying, or to just get a better job. It's easy to say those things when you've never had to struggle financially before!
These comics show what your rich friends think being poor is, versus what it actually means for you and your life.
Moneywatch didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they decided to tell millennials how much they should have saved by age 35. The article, titled "Money Milestones: This is how your finances should look in your 30s," was published back in January, but only went viral this month after their Twitter account decided to promote the piece. The financial article claims that by 35, people should have saved at least half their salary. As expected, the sassy Twitter backlash was swift, and it was very, very funny.
@plantxbasictweeted recently that Millennials are often accused of being poor because they purchase a lot of frivolous things. Accordingly, people started pointing out the hypocrisy of this sentiment by highlighting some of the absurd things that Baby Boomers often buy, and the results are pretty great.
