It isn't just you. Gen X was called lazy, etc. and we have been hit by a lot of deep recessions. When I graduated from college in 1990, no one wanted to hire entry level workers....entry level required 2-3 years experience for some reason. I live in a state where many businesses left and there hasn't been a lot of opportunity- or at least not the same as the opportunity my parents and grandparents had. I lost my job after 2001 and was unable to find another job for a year. My husband's self employment vanished due to the pandemic, so it's just me trying to keep us going. Some of us do know that your group is getting hit with a lot such as massively increased prices in housing and education. I don't know that I would have been able to go to college with the current costs for higher education.

My kids were born in 86 and 88. They are hard working and I dare someone to ever call one of them a spoiled, lazy and entitled millennial.

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson says the leaks attributed to Jack Teixeria are part of a disinformation campaign prepared at the highest level for the “crash landing” that is coming; in U.S. foreign policy, in regards to China and most especially in Ukraine.

My goodness how can millenials fail this better life that the culture has gifted to them? Each generation confronts how difficult life is and then forgets the struggle.The problems that are the inheritance of the young are mountainous, I pray that God grants you the strength to cope and the joy that is richly deserved. I for one am ashamed of the mess being dumped on those who come after me.

Aww...Thank you for the perspective. We lucky gen xers should all recognize that your gen really did face volatility from the jump.
