The Millennial age is by far the worst age to be a human being. It’s our first time in the ‘modern’ era, and it’s the first time that we can’t blame the previous generation for our failures. Nobody had to tell us to catch the flu and die of pneumonia, just like nobody had to tell us to eat foods that would give us diabetes and heart disease, just like nobody had to tell us to eat foods that would destroy our bodies internally and cause burdensome weight gain. Here are some of the difficulties we face as a millennial.
It’s Harder for Us to Find a Job
We’re not all getting jobs. We don’t have as much money as our parents did, which means we can’t afford to live in a city where there are lots of jobs. We have to go to places like Detroit or Baltimore, places where it’s hard to find a job, but we still have to pay rent. We have to move to cities like San Francisco, places where people don’t even have jobs because they’re trying to build the next Silicon Valley. And then we’re told we’re “overqualified” and “unemployable.” The idea of moving out of a city just to get a job is ridiculous.
We Have to Deal with a High Level of Stress
We can’t turn on the news anymore without seeing an article about how millennials are the most stressed-out generation ever. Every day, we are inundated with messages from media telling us that we’re too stressed out to do anything, and that we’re causing our parents to die early from heart disease. It’s not just our parents, either. We see it in our friends’ parents, and we see it in our friends’ parents’ friends’ parents, and it keeps getting worse with every passing year. Millennials are being told to “take it easy,” but we can’t take it easy because we have no money. We’re told to “stop stressing” but we can’t stop stressing because we’re constantly bombarded with messages telling us to “stop stressing.” How do you “take it easy” when your life is constantly being sabotaged by the stress?
We Have to Deal with a High Level of Competition
Millennials have to compete with people who have gone to school for years and years and years, and who have been able to get a job and build a career. We have to compete with people who have a lot of money, and who can move to places like San Francisco and live a life of luxury. And if we don’t get a job, we’re told we’re not good enough, and that we’re overqualified for jobs we’re not even qualified for. We have to compete with people who have access to a ton of resources, and we have to compete with people who have had years and years of training.
We Don’t Have as Much Freedom as Previous Generations
Our parents’ generation had a lot of freedom. They could leave their jobs whenever they wanted to, and they could go wherever they wanted to. They could do whatever they wanted to do, and they could have whatever they wanted to have. Millennials are living in a time when the media is constantly telling us that we have to work more than our parents, and that we have to have more money than our parents. Our parents had freedom to go wherever they wanted to go, to do whatever they wanted to do, and to have whatever they wanted to have. Millennials have to live in places where there are jobs, and where we can’t afford to live. We have to live in places where we’re told we have to work more than our parents, and where we have to pay more for food and more for rent.
We Have to Deal with a High Level of Inflation
Millennials have to deal with inflation. Inflation is what happens when the prices of things go up, and it’s been happening a lot lately. We’re constantly being told that the cost of living is too high, and that we have to live on a lot less money than our parents did. The price of rent has gone up a lot, the price of food has gone up a lot, the price of college has gone up a lot, and the price of gas has gone up a lot. All of these things add up, and we’re constantly being told that we have to live on a lot less money than our parents did.
But I Wouldn’t Trade Being a Millennial for Anything Else
I wouldn’t trade being a millennial for anything else in the world because I’m so lucky to be a millennial. I’m so lucky to be a millennial because I have access to so many resources that my parents didn’t have. I have access to so many opportunities that my parents didn’t have. I have so much opportunity
We’re able to learn and explore new things quickly and easily, which allows us to take advantage of all the opportunities available to us.
