I didn't read it but I saw the headline on Drudge.

I thought your excerpt was going to be about difficulty finding gainful employment and the high rate of student loans.
Broken phone screens?
Broken phone screens?

With a broken phone screen, how could you possibly concentrate on getting a job?

Re: 3 in 5 Millennials Say Life More Stressful
Watching Boomers dog on Millennials is hilarious. Gen X perhaps a leg to stand on. Boomers were given a Porsche they pretended they earned and rode it hard, put it away wet, and asked their kids to be eternally grateful for the rusty Pinto they inherited... Boomers (joking here) should just be locked behind a giant gate in Florida and have their SS/Medicare cutoff. Hopefully they can all fight for the high ground when the seas rise.
Obviously kidding... I hate generationalism... but if we're going to play it, Boomers get to sit in the corner in shame.
Full Disclosure... I'm on the higher-end of millennials. I feel more like an X'er, but technically I'm a millennial.

They are, but it's by choice.
No, you make a valid point. I remember a millennial writer saying that he was jealous of gen x'ers and boomers but not that they were necessarily better. He was envious, he said, because milliennials are, if not the worst generation, the most reviled generation.

Re: 3 in 5 Millennials Say Life More Stressful
I am Gen X, and my kids are Gen Z. I see plenty to be hopeful for among that group.
My kids and their friends are hard workers, financially frugal, straight A type students, with jobs and a boatload of extra curricular activities.
I suspect we only see the fringes here -- I am sure there are plenty of them that would stress out at these piddly things, but the majority, at least of the group I know, work hard and have more drive than I ever did in school and elsewhere.
