Now that sounds like a good boss.

I think that is because they paid that Social Security, it is actually their money.

funny that person believes their own b******t

In Europe this still is true. And also: Why pay 800 euros rent when your mortgage is 600 Euros?

Not to mention, no one wants to work with a constant nuisance.

I tried it, was asked to please apply online

Oh my GOSH that's basically what my dad always said, but he makes it about school.

Not only boomers. My wife is like that ...

"I believe in the horse. The automobile is a temporary appearance - Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany, 1916" ;)

Again...good advice just not feasible.

No one ever had the nerve to tell me that.

I always get the "when you have children you'll understand". But I don't want children. "When you meet the right man, you'll change your mind". The right man for me won't want children. "Then he'll be gay". Yeah ok, boomer dad.

Well to be fair, save 1/3 of your paycheck is excellent advice....it's just not realistic for most people.

This has been the most frustrating one for me as a millennial. Great that you had two kids and a cat and a marriage and two cars and a house by age 25. The same generation that told us we were “too young” and wouldn’t take us seriously until we turned 30 and then as SOON as we turned 30, they rub it in our faces that now we are “too old” for some of our problems and we should be further ahead. You treated us as infants until you treated us as middle aged losers. Infuckingfuriating.

Unpaid internships are fine when they form part of your education....but once you graduate it's pretty normal to expect payment since you now have the qualification.

If you're meant to fear it, it's not worth believing in.

What a fantasy.

Hah! Just let them try to repo my brain.

That was the standard, say 40 years ago. Now it's about 1/3 of your paycheck.

I am 60 and I call B.S.

I never understood the "it's not a real job". Are you getting paid? Yes. Then it's a job. One could argue if the job is good paying, but it's still demonstrably real.

Exactly. The boss will know there's someone willing to do more for less money.

Well, it's a good advice. The hard part is finding the good job.

Ah yes, that six month summer everyone loves so much.

By advising everyone to get a degree, it renders the degree system pretty worthless in terms of being an advantage.

In Germany it acttually works like that, like - 25% for loud noise and up to - 100% for no heating or no gas = no cooking or no electricity due to a cable fire.

Many states offer down payment assistance, Illinois offers $7,500. There is a conventional loan with a 3% down payment not the 20% that everyone wrongly assumes. Source: I'm a millennial Realtor in Chicago.

I love lying in bed with a good book, or lying in bed watching Netflix. Somebody tell me how to monetize that already. LOL.

Also: Boomers fought for the recognition of domestic violence being a crime, and not simply a "marital issue". It is BECAUSE of Boomers, that there are now laws in place protecting victims. It is BECAUSE of Boomers that there are things such as domestic violence shelters, and services helping victims. It is BECAUSE of Boomers, that countries now have government support such as Single Parent Pensions, enabling the primary care giver has the financial support to divorce / leave an unhappy / abusive relationship. It is BECAUSE of Boomers, that fascilities like daycare are as widespread as they currently are (yes, they existed in various forms beforehand - but were extremely rare)
