No Xbox or 100/month phone and drinking Pabst or Red Stripe beer. And at the end of college you owed maybe 3ooo or so. Millennials demand comforts and unnecessaries or they melt. Well, they can slowly pay their debt that is their responsibility by frugalizing their lifestyle like every gen before them. We just did it during college, not after. |
Yes, the evil millenials are definitely responsible for this. It's not like we need to work 4x the amount of hours on minimum wage to afford college alone. With inflation, minimim wage in 1980 would be around 9.00-9.12. The current low can range anywhere from 7.25-9.00, with the higher wages usually in places where it's much more expensive to live there.
The world is a different place. Stop constantly throwing an entire generation of people under a ditch.
