It's not just millennials. I was born 5 years after the end of the Baby Boomers and by the time I was 20 everything was becoming out of reach. Add a energy crisis or two, 40 years of Republican austerity for anyone but themselves, and a few financial crashes We the People ended-up bailing out, and I never got anywhere enough traction to do more than just get by without a mountain of debt. We never outran the entitlement of the Boomer generation.

Good luck Millennials - and I mean it - but the only way out is to get out of the US while you can.

Bwahahaha. There are already a billion people in my country. I don't need to make more.

Me and my gf make ends meet ( sometimes not) just by being alive and eat, we go super rarely out and didn't had vacation the last 10 years.

Doesn't help that I got I'll and need to hold now a special food diet till I die which makes mostly everything I can eat like 2x as expensive and it was rough for us before my illness.

Easy solution: just don't be born in the first place.

Wait until the "Let It Rot" movement takes hold worldwide.

Capitalist pigs: "So Roe is gone, next maybe birth control?"

Get a vasectomy while it's still legal! I got one about 2 years ago.

My family basically adopted a kid that was in need. We aren’t having our own kids. It’s too expensive and we both don’t want to pass on our own mental health traits.

getting a vasectomy was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

My wife and I are older millenials ('85 and '86). I got my vasectomy 2 years ago and I'm glad I did given that Roe v Wade isn't a thing anymore.

It's no wonder our government doesn't want easy access to contraceptives or abortion. They need more fresh meat for the grinder!
