It's mocking all the Blue Lives Matter knuckle-dragger shirts of "I stand for the flag and kneel for the cross, I cuss and spit and shoot guns, if you don't like it then leave this country"
Boomer plight: Black Lung, from decades of backbreaking work deep underground. Millennial plight: Vape Lung, from excessive vaping after getting upset over a marginal WiFi connection.
I would probably exclude coal minors from that though. Granted my only info on the job is from October Sky and Zoolander
At no time were more than 0.2% of Boomers working in the mines, and that's being generous. It was probably closer to 0.1% of that insufferable generation.
You mean the millennials that demand three weeks vacation to start, plus an extra week for the annual ayahuasca retreat to destress from the horrors of being online so much? Those millennials? Most Boomers had to work 10-15 years to get a second week of vacay, if they were lucky.
You mean boomers who could leave the office and actually not work? Back when a company wide memo took 4 days to go out? And getting lost was an acceptable reason not to do your job (no gps)? Bruh you got an extra hours of vacation everyday because work didn’t follow you.
lol millennials don’t even take their vacation days for fear they’ll lose their underpaying and already shitty job Shitty troll
Lord. I know Gen X aren't anywhere near as shitty as the Boomers on the whole, but it is funny that they act like there's little difference in wealth distribution between them and millennials.
They really got it better than the other generations, and they've also managed to stay in the background of all the infighting between millenials and boomers. They also love to pretend they're the "enlightened centrists" of the debates.
Millennials have killed steak dinners on trains now. https://nypost.com/2019/09/22/mille...erly-cozy-dining-cars-on-penn-station-trains/
A survey of 1,500 individuals, age 23-37, with a savings account at Bank of America. That right there renders the entire study pointless. I bet 1 in 6 millennials don’t even have a savings account.
Spoiler Bank of America commissioned a survey of 1,500 respondents, ages 18–71 years old, to explore their views on personal financial matters. For the purposes of this report, millennials are defined as ages 23–37, with younger millennials ages 23–27 and older millennials ages 28–37. The survey was conducted online in English and Spanish during the period of September 22–October 16, 2017. Interviews were conducted by GfK Public Communications and Social Science, using GfK’s KnowledgePanel®, a statistically representative sample source used to yield results that are projectable to the American population. The margin of sampling error for national data is +/- 3.1 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. An augment sample of approximately 2,025 additional interviews was also included to bring the millennials found in the national sample up to 300 completes each in six DMA markets including Austin, TX; Raleigh- Durham, NC; San Diego, CA; Pittsburgh, PA; Denver, CO and Seattle, WA. Margin of error for the DMA augments are higher than that of the national sample.
I have $5 in my savings account and am in the 17th percentile of savings. It seems like some people need a refresher on how money is saved.
I don’t have a savings account. I imagine there’s a decent percentage of millennials who have no accumulated wealth outside of their checking count. Not sure how student loans are factored in to this survey either.
Stop yelling at the survey and claiming it isn’t adequate based on your arbitrary criteria. Obviously a decent percentage of people don’t have wealth outside of their checking account given the low net worth figures of the entire population. Loans are deducted when calculating net worth, like all net worth calculations. Survey results: https://bettermoneyhabits.bankofamerica.com/content/dam/bmh/pdf/2018bmhmillennialreport.pdf
