    It’s like an adult kids meal, that feels really degrading IMO.

    That is exactly what it is.

    Look at any economic statistics and you’ll find that both generations are basically in line with previous generations, except that home ownership is more delayed

    Basically, I completely disagree, but as I am currently a millennial on SSDI who can’t find anywhere to live that does not cost half my monthly income, I’m not really as interested in arguing the details as I am finding a decent living situation.

    But I can't help myself, so here's something

    Notice how Millennials are the first generation for every level of education to earn less than the previous generation, and the least educated are doing about as bad as the Silent generation.

    Colleges costs have exploded, as have housing costs, as have personal debt levels.
