@wall_street_sojourner: Millennials are the first generation to have to downgrade their life #millennialmoney #PersonalFinance #housingmarket

✨Gogo Sharee 🧜🏽‍♀️✨ :

Things like shopping aren’t even fun anymore

Kennedy :

Luxuries are cheap and necessities are expensive. It has NEVER been like this

Rachel Rose :

The American dream is to live abroad

Laura at the Library 🏳️‍🌈📖 :

I was able to live on my own at 19 with no degree. Now that I have a degree and 2 decades of experience all of a sudden they are trying to normalize needing a roommate? I’m not living with a stranger at 40 fucking years old!

frosty.burns :

My income went up, and within the same three months so did my rent and health insurance. I make more and my bills keep rising to meet it. I can never save

littletuba :

My sociology professor said in 2010 that we were the first generation in modern American history that would be worse off than their parents. Guess he was right.

Bvhjr :

We go scammed man. They moved the goal post on us w/ no consideration

Ashley 💕 :

A $200k down payment is diabolical

Kyle :

you’d need to make $200 an hour to have the same purchasing power as someone making minimum wage in 1971

Cobra :

We also don't own anything anymore because of the subscription services

Kris :

Hence why so many millennials have been moving abroad - that movement is well underway.

B :

We’ve been priced out of having homes, families, retirement. What’s the point?

ദ്ദിˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́)☕️ You mad, bro? :

Millennials who grew up from poverty to lower class have been beaten back into the dirt.

Ms. Truth Teller :

4k a month in rent makes no sense

Nadroj Nikta :

Downgrade our lives while working twice, even thrice as hard.

Alex :

Yeah I make 6 figures. 10 years ago you’d be driving a Lexus. I drive a civic

Userj198764283638 :

I make literally 5x more than what my parents combined made and were able to afford a house with and I cannot afford to buy a house, I’m like this doesnt make sense

CJ/ Horrorablereviews :

And im tired of being gaslit that its gonna get better

A :

I just paid $40 to make a very mediocre non-organic fruit salad

Mariya :

This. We’re paying for more & getting less.

navyluwho :

Yeti Tesfaye :

All roads lead back to billionaires

Jus :

My wife and I (both black) paid 500k for our home. To be in a neighborhood where everyone is almost twice our age and paid half the price we did for their homes. Yet they act like WE aren’t good enough to live here

SeeShell000 :

And everything breaks so easily now. We just spent so much on a new washer and dryer and I just pray we get maybe five years out of them. Growing up I remember my parents has the same washer and dryer for over 15 years

freshnessmatters :

It’s crazy to make way more money than your parents but not being able to afford half their lifestyle
