    {This is because Millenials are increasingly delaying adult responsibilities}


    24?!?!? Are you kidding me???? By the time I was 24, I had a full-time career and had just bought my first house!!!!

    But, I guess with things like "Safe Spaces" and "Comfort Animals" being the norm now, who could've expected anything different? 

    What's next? Will sucking your thumb and hugging your Teddy Bear while curled up under your desk in your cubicle in the fetal position when your boss asks you to do something be "normal behavior"?

    I really pray for the sake of the next generations that this country never has to deal with a National tragedy like The Great Depression or WWII - - they wouldn't last a day.....

    Obamacare had it at up to age 26 you could stay on Mommies & Daddy's health care plan. In 2018, Mommy & Daddy pays the cellphone bill, car insurance, gas and buys the car when the kid turns 16. Eventually they wonder why the kid has no work ethic - well, you trained them so well. That's everywhere too, I see it all the time. 

    A high school student that has a part time job and college plans that include learning a real skill (not foreign political science, modern languages or Philosophy) will live like a King.

    Scientists say definition of adolescence should be 10 to 24 years of age for proper framing of laws, social policies and service systems to fit population.  Average puberty starts earlier at 10 instead of 14  because of improved health and nutrition.  Biological reason for expanded adolescence is that brains don't fully mature until 30 years.

     In previous decades, people can easily join the work force after finishing highschool so they can afford to marry and buy homes earlier   Now some good jobs require more training so people must stay longer in school.  Although young people may not be leaving home, they still accept adult responsibilities such as working full time to earn income.  . 

    In the medieval ages, teenagers commonly marry and lifespans last 30 plus years.  Now average lifespan is 70 plus years. Age definitions are always arbitrary but old definitions may be overly restricted.  Things change and nothing stays the same forever.

    No one cares what YOUR experience was.

    Children WORKED FULL TIME at the turn of last century for little to no wages.

    They’d look at your childhood and laugh at how comfortable it was and wonder why your feet weren’t used continuously to work machines that crush coal. 

    And you’d, today, be flabbergasted at such a suggestion to spend your childhood like that.

    Your experience does not dictate much of anything DECADES later.

    Spoken like a true Snowflake who still lives in his parent’s basement…..

     First off, my dad was an independent contractor who also had his plumbing license, so guess how my childhood summers were spent from the time I was old enough to thread a pipe until I was 16 and started at McDonalds. You guessed it!! Cutting concrete, laying pavers, snaking toilets, any (literal) $H!T job you could think of, I did. So don’t come at me with your “how comfortable” my childhood was B.S.

     Secondly, in having that experience (and I’m thankful for it), I was able to figure out at a young age that I don’t want to be doing this backbreaking work for the rest of my life, so I studied hard in school, graduated, and started at the entry level in a career in sales & retail, and I’m still in this field to this day – and I love every minute of it. I’ve never been on welfare, “disability”, or needed a safe space or a comfort animal. I paid my parents rent from the age of 18 (literally my 18th Birthday) until I moved into my own apartment at 21, and the only “help” I received from my parents after that was a loan of $6,000 to help me put a down on my first house at 24  - which they gave me 2 years to pay back, and I paid them back in 1.

     I did what was necessary to become a productive member of society, and not a burden or drain on both it and my parents - - WHICH IS THE WHOLE FU##ING POINT OF THIS THREAD!!!

    I already know you’re not going to respond to this (as usual), because I’m making too much sense (as usual). So, I’ll bid you good day…..

    Your experience does not dictate much of anything DECADES later.

     First off, my dad was an independent contractor who also had his plumbing license, so guess how my childhood summers were spent from the time I was old enough to thread a pipe until I was 16 and started at McDonalds. You guessed it!! Cutting concrete, laying pavers, snaking toilets, any (literal) $H!T job you could think of, I did. So don’t come at me with your “how comfortable” my childhood was B.S.

    Again I laugh at what you and your experience were decades ago in comparison to today’s youth in this economy.

    It is the height of wildly poor argumentation as well as intensely divisive (Hey I thought it was only Obama that was divisive!) without finding a solution to what it turning into an automated economy, temp worker economy and gig economy.

    Not a single youth today cares about your plumbing or retail experience. Not one.

    It’s completely irrelevant.

    Just the fact you needed $6,000 to buy a HOUSE (which today will get you a car at BEST), shows how long ago your experience occurred and how out of touch you are with those who enter the working world in 2018.

    But carry on. It’s good fodder.

    Our upbringings were similar. We worked at a young age. Borrowed money from our parents AND PAID IT BACK - it wasn't a gift. I also paid rent as soon as I started working full-time. Please show me a kid today that pays rent after they get a job (if they get a job)...

    Loving how you say "Decades Ago" like it was the 1930's and I'm rolling a hoop with a stick.
    We're talking late 90's, early 2000's.....

    {"Not a single youth today cares about your plumbing or retail experience. Not one."}

    Once again, that's the problem.....REFER TO THE OP, DUMBA$$!!!!!

    I'm not even going to go into the fact that "I needed $6,000 to buy a house".....

    Maybe reread what I posted, I needed an EXTRA $6,000 to put down on a house.....

    Do I hear mommy calling you up from the basement for your favorite Hot Pockets & French Fries.....

    Adults are talking here, so scamper off you little scamp!!!!

    Can't wait until 2/4/2018 when your DUMBA$$ is gone.....

    Late 90’s. Ah the booming Bill Clinton economy that Bush destroyed with a useless multi trillion dollar war and unregulated markets which crashed and burned.

    That economy was far different than the one now. 

    Example: there wasn’t TRILLIONS of dollars of student loan debt at the time and the average house price has had over a 100% increase. Shows you how different the economies of scale were.

    Completely different time for you to lecture today’s you and beat your chest about it.

    No one cares. Carry on.

    The dot-com bubble was a historic economic bubble and period of excessive speculation that occurred roughly from 1997 to 2001, a period of extreme growth in the usage and adaptation of the Internet by businesses and consumers. During this period, many Internet-based companies, commonly referred to as dot-coms, were founded, many of which failed.

    Unfortunately this was a gift from Clinton to Bush.
