Millennials Share 45 Posts And Memes That Show The Struggles They Face

Read Jack Monroe "The Bootstrap Cook", it's an eye opener and anyone who thinks poor people should just "budget better" needs their heads kicking.

This

Ah yes, Ann Widdicombe. The one woman representation of Boomers, Karens and the reason Brexit happened with no thought for Northern Ireland because they just wanted to bring the Empire back to when England (important - not Britain, England) was important. God, I hate being English.

This needs to be higher.

This is insulting

Wellll. You gotta eat and you need money. There is a lack of jobs so yeah, you kinda are forced to work the job you hate.

We bought our house in 1992 for € 50 000. It's now valued by the council at €180 000, but in real life similar houses in my street have sold for €325 000. So yes, millennials don't stand a chance on the housing market.

When the hope that Alzheimer's doesn't make you accidentally vote for something that is beneficial for the people is fighting with your fear of sh!tting your diaper in congress.

Biden said "pay them more" and he was right. That's the invisible hand of the market : if work is too expensive, pay your workers more.

Covering up a crappy comment. Enjoy a cat. 🐈

I'm sure the color of the skin was the deciding factor here.

Generalizing an entire generation because of the stupidity of some, isn't changing anything for millennials.

What they need to do is skip the avocado

It's a problem in my hometown right now. Private interests from oversea and local buys houses and residential buildings, a lot in less fortunate neighborhood. For the house, they don't even flip them, they just raise the price after buying from 300K to 800K. For residential building, that's where I hope there's a special kind of hell for those people. They use a loophole in the law where they evicted EVERYONE for "renovations", changes a few door and then re-rent the apartment for twice or triple the rent. I've seen affordable 500-600$ apartments getting their door changed and being re-rented 1200-1800$ a month. Politicians says they care, but they don't care at all since those buildings makes more money from taxes.

Isn't that what's happening now in the US?

Playing the long game

Sad but true. Even young people outside of the USA are finding it very difficult to get a decent start in life. Only when you have a more than moderate income, you'll be able to buy or rent a decent house and start a family. And it doesn't look like that is going to change very soon. In the meantime shady landlords and investors are buying up every house that comes on the market to make ridiculous profits by renting them out. And as usual; Authorities are reluctant to stop these practices.

people are willing to pay into a fund to help someone get medical treatment that they wont benefit from but wont pay extra for universal healthcare because they dont want to pay for someone else this is exactly how universal healthcare works like a nationwide go fund me only you actually get to benefit from it imagine everyone paying into a fund like we do in the UK we call it national insurance if a country the size of the US did that they would solve their issues with paying for healthcare

Welcome to the US

"over-gay" ROFL

As a Brit, living in the US, I wonder about the mentality that everyone here is so "free". Perhaps free from healthcare, social safety nets, etc.

The now 73 year old would vote for the same politicians again because they were the best politicians ever....

Capitalism, isn't the problem...corruption is. Plenty of capitalist nations and their citizens fare fine....most, really. The US is different in that we don't use the word corruption...we call it lobbying and career politicians.... Funny how these people go into it for "service" and end up part of the richest percentage of this county.

I've literally never seen a coupon for any kind of healthy food, ever. They're always only for processed junk food.

And made unattainable by the previous generation

In 1992 we had a combined income of €900 per month. We had no problem to get a €50 000 mortgage on a 1930's house without central heating and in bad state of repair.

Check engine is more scary even on memes than a horror movie....

No, half your politicians just don't give a f**k about you, and the other half can't be bothered.

Only difference is that Covid still is active and doesn't make prisoners.

The problem isn't with capitalism. The problem is with American style capitalism. Everything "American style" is a huge problem. Capitalism, Healthcare, Education, Military, Politics, Religion, Housing, Food and even Democracy. Reagan & his cult have done most of the damage & Republicans have continued with those policies to date.

I don't think eating the rich would be a healthy diet.

"every single human act gets monetized". Let that sink in, everyone.

Imagine getting through all of this being 10 years older and you get why I just skipped the parenthood part.

I applied to 72 jobs recently. I have a BSN (I wanted to get away from floor nursing as I was burnt out) and got a MBA with emphasis in healthcare management. I got 2 call backs, one offer for a entry level job at half of what my first nursing job paid 10 years ago. And back then, that baaaarely paid my minimum student loans due. I was a RA and worked all through college, which wasnt recommended in the program. Lived with my parents and worked 6 or 7 days a week at different nursing jobs to afford a super crappy house after a few years. I was able to live with my parents after graduation and have my aunt co sign for my student loans to even get approved for them. How the s**t do you make it otherwise??

Maybe we should look for the greater of two evils for a change? Cthulhu 2024!

Where I live you can apply for examina for like 700, and if you pass you get the same degree than the one I paid 13k for.

The update for WORLD ENGINE v1.01 will clear out this bug and will arrive at 404NOTFOUND

That's because you privatised education. Stop doing that. Nationalise all your hospitals and universities.

This!

Explains why a growing number of US citizens are moving to other countries.

My son was looking for a job this summer and all these places with "sorry our hours are erratic, we're understaffed" wouldn't hire him. He's 18 and just wants to work, willing to take minimum, and had to apply to 20 entry level jobs before someone hired him, despite everywhere claiming to be drastically understaffed. I call BS.

The sad truth.

its ridiculous i cant afford to live by myself i live with my parents and im 39 there is no point in me moving out if its gonna cost me nearly all of my earnings each month

They could have also joined the military, kill people and get a free education. But no alcohol allowed...

I have this horrible feeling that the next housing price bubble collapse is going to be followed by every available house being bought up for pennies on the dollar by greedy corporations and rented out at absurdly inflated prices because they can afford to do that.

Yup

The rich and the ones that fu-cked the world dont deserve anything so just don't pay that debt, it's not yours. Its they that have to pay is not us that needs to pay this useless bunch of people

But for the price of a fully operational aircraft carrier, you can implement a lot of devices and laws and pay cops to chase the homeless people out of sight.

Ah yes, doing it the American way....

Since this is a few years old, I ran it through the inflation calculator for 2021. Whelp, it's now $20.14/hour.

Coincidence? I think not!

That's why he pays a millennial $7.75 to do it for him.

Wait, you guys are only joking? 🙃

More like 50s-70s. Reagan took care of all that "disposable income" the middle class had.

I am just shy of being a boomer. Gen X. And I feel sorry for future generations. I will never get to old tonpr have empathy for others.

Hey, that was only the business and science majors but yeah. Went to my 50 yr high school reunion where almost everyone went to college and thought I wandered into a trump rally.

I like travel but these days is means going to the next town for a change of scenery

30 - pandemic: watch 720 000 people die on live TV.

We have a climate crisis and that's why there was a global conference. Outcome: "We realize that we're facing though decisions to handle this crisis. That's why we're waiting to reconvene in 2022."

Yes, very this. A lot this. F**k this.

There should be a cap at how much any election campaign can cost. It would also be a big step forward in fighting corruption.

In Norway most healtcare is free as long as you show up. If you dont show up, it costs money, but if you show up its free

And you should. Stop supporting the Wendy's, McDonald's and Starbucks to start with.

And the councils use the police to actively search for people sleeping in their car so they can harass them. And the police force is more than happy to serve.

Because the life depicted in those images were not attainable; might as well jump.
