I think I should point out, that the main reason some millennials are like this, is because of the world their parents created. People seem to just blame the young people, but ignore the fact that the parents are partly to blame as well. People are just a product of their environment. Of course we all have personal responsibility to not be pricks, but it's important to take in another persons circumstances before judging them. But yeah you are probably right, future looks dim in so many ways.
I agree, as a matter of fact, the video talks about this and I almost wrote about this but was concerned my blog post would be too long. Millennials have been dealt a bad hand because of poor parenting. Parents that don't encourage risk, but rather their children to take the safe route in life. That safe route led to 1.44 trillion dollars in student loan debt and now Millennials have to figure out how to navigate in this environment, despite the environment we've all grown up in. I'm a millennial myself.
Nice post, agree to most of what the video talks about. We had an unfortunate incident in India recently where a teen killed himself because his parents did not buy him a gaming console! For gods sake, when i was younger and wanted a cycle, my dad ensured i took up a summer job at his workplace to make the money and buy the cycle for myself. This incident really helped me realize the value of money and how to manage it!
Absolutely, my grandfather owned two dry cleaners near where I live and I used to help out around the shop for a few bucks, as a kid. It was an awesome experience and I feel has helped me build my own self-confidence, as I grew up.
Great post. Keep up the good work.
Thank you

Nah don't worry about it being too long, people make really long posts on here.
