Let's be real for a second here: as Millennials, most of us will never amount to anything great because the Boomers left us in such shambles economically and otherwise. Hence the creation of the Twitter account Average Life Goals, which gives us some realistic life expectations that we can all aspire to.

Caution: these memes might convert you to communism. Well, they probably won't do that, but they will likely make you consider how little you're getting paid when compared with your boss. For legal reasons we can't condone stealing stuff like snacks, staplers, or pencil sharpeners from your work, so we're not going to do that.
You damn lazy Millennials and your entitlement - you guys think you deserve an education that won't ruin you financially? Back in my day we paid very lit- oh wait, never mind...so you guys actually have it harder than us old people and you're not just lazy a-holes? Okay fine, but get the f*ck off my lawn and quit eating so much goddamn avocado toast.
Many of us grow up without really having to think about healthcare or the cost of just trying to survive. However, unfortunately many others don't have that privilege. Twitter user Jon Torsch exemplifies that exact sentiment in this Twitter thread where he goes into detail about growing up too poor to afford to fix his crooked teeth.
We don't want to take sides politically here, but we definitely can understand the stress of not having access to any sort of healthcare!
Okay, this is some Keanu-level wholesomeness right here. In a world where we're constantly being bombarded with negative news, sometimes it pays to just be a kind person, and this Tumblr thread exemplifies that perfectly. Even the smallest gesture can mean the world to someone - you never know when you'll make someone's day!
The weather's getting warmer, schools are letting out - summer is just around the corner. This means we can either look forward to planning vacations or enjoying every damn person on social media posting about all the fun they're having. We've put together these jet-setting and self-pitying memes to help you relax by the pool or cope with the FOMO. And if these aren't enough for you, we've also got a whole lot of depressing summer memes to help you wallow in your salt mine.
God, it must be really nice to be rich - the freedom to buy what you want when you want it. However, we have to say that making fun of the rich and famous is also pretty great. If you're feelin' a little down about your own bank statement right now, then click here to scroll through some possibly more relatable poor-people tidbits!
Have you ever eaten a delicious but "nonessential" piece of avocado toast and then suddenly couldn't afford to buy a house? Same.
USA Today Tweeted on Tuesday that the average American adult spends too much money on "nonessential items" including takeout food and "impulse purchases," and that such expenses can rack up nearly $18,000 per year in unnecessary expenses.
Obviously, the tweet angered a lot of people and has inspired a bunch of hilarious roasts by angry Millennials, which you can read below.
Picture this: it's Friday night and you just got paid. Hell yeah, time to go out and party it up! But wait, you have to pay your rent on Monday, and you don't have any groceries at home, and your utilities bill was due three days ago. Sooo, never mind about partying. In reality you'll probably go home and cry into your pillow and wait for your next tiny paycheck full of hard-earned money to come around so you can do it all again next month!
