OMG, kids with rich parents have it easy? Who knew? Does this author not realize that normal people have been saving money for generations? Not everyone makes millions right out of school. This isn't specific to "Millennials", my post-baby-boomer parents did the same thing. My dad got some money to go to school for the first couple years but still worked all throughout college and had loans until he was 30 something when he was still an engineer. My mom was given nothing while in school. She worked throughout college and lived at home. While you really can't do this anymore, it shows that she was able to become successful without rich parents. Even if she had to get loans, she still would have been able to work through school and pay the loans off while living at home. She just wouldn't have been able to move out of her dad's house sooner.
I love how the media always portrays "Millenials". We are either poor as shit, doing better than our parents, dumb as fuck, smartest generation ever, the hardest workers, or the laziest people. Any time you see an article referencing "Millenials", it's best to just ignore whatever opinion the author has.
