I was born in 96 and had a flip phone, I remember getting the Simpsons meltdown on it from the back of a magazine. I'm not a millennial, I'm just about gen z.
Did the same for the secondary screen on my Motorola Razr, which it's only purpose was to display the Motorola logo and IIRC display the camera for taking selfies (since phones didn't have dedicated selfie cams yet). That was all it did.
I ripped a piece of audio, edited it down to the piece I wanted to use, and put it on my phone from my computer. When I got a call, it was Kyle yelling "You're such a fat fuck, Cartman, that when you walk down the street people go GOD DAMMIT that kid's a BIG FAT FUCK."
Millennials are in their 40's now and you're claiming half owning homes is good. Only half owning homes for a generation that will soon stop having children is actually really bad.
How many of these people actually own their homes? If you "buy a house" I would consider it owned by the bank until it is paid of. Loans are usually 20-30 years. If ~30 percent of the populace has been paying off houses by 25 I am way more fucked than I thought I was, haha.
Shit is fucked everywhere, Idk what country you are in but young people have been struggling all over for a while. Sure, plenty of people have fucked up but most of us have been following the guidance given to us and doing everything we can with what we have.
