And we are woefully unprepared to face that because we don't teach financial literacy to anybody." Instead, he said, American culture has taught society to be consumers under the belief that you make money to spend it.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Turning 38 this year, the oldest Millennials are well into adulthood, and they first entered adulthood before today's youngest adults were born. ... Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 23 to 38 in 2019) is considered a Millennial, and anyone born from 1997 onward is part of a new generation.Jan 17, 2019 I guess Cleve is a senior almost 40 millennial.

Gorka Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Nothing stuck out in that article that gave me the impression that millennials were smart. "Fear of the future"... "safety nets such as social security and healthcare in jeopardy" are motivators for millennials to retire early??? Grant Sabatier, who retired at age 30 with $1.25 million and is featured in Shakespeare's documentary, has said financial independence has always been about time... And we are woefully unprepared to face that because we don't teach financial literacy to anybody." Financial literacy would be knowing that $1.25 mil is not gonna cut it for a person age 30 wishing to maintain his current lifestyle, unless his lifestyle is living in his mothers basement. I looked up this Grant Sabatier. Appears he did move back in with mom.

At this point they just use "millennial" as a derogatory term for any young person. You can't expect them to put more thought into it than that.

I mean, good for him ofc he must be a pretty sharp hustler.....but hlipping domains and stuff like that, I dunno...its like day trading. It's just gaming our awe inspiring hot mess of an economy. It's not grown man's work, it's just jewbitra..I mean arbitrage. It's a hustle as old as humans first forays into currencies. The point of that article wasn't about that particular guy. It's about the millennials andbpost millennials waking up to the lies (ie giant fucking ponzi schemes) of our fathers and their fathers. Every previous gen just wanted to ensure the next gen bought into the bullshit "American way of life" because without that the ponzi folds, as we all know. If any of u want to understand one of the bedrock of the ponzi horseshit go read up on the fractional reserve system. You'll learn how money is created from debt. Why its "imperative" in our monetary system that as many people are in as deep debt as possible. That's tittys to the people who run our shit. Terrible for us ofc but great for all the free market entities situated closest to.the teats if credit. They had access to unlimited funds of the world's reserves. And THAT is what built these huge globalist multinationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LogicIsForSquares Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 If young people now are post millennials then I will say post millennials are fucking awful to deal with. I get a whole flock of interns every summer and they are lazy cry babies. I blame their parents because these kids are early to late undergrad. I have had to can a few for refusing to do intern stuff (making copies, delivering documents, taking notes at meetings, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIT is someone with an engineering degree that passed the FE An engineering intern is someone still going to school for their degree and filling an internship role, usually over the summer. Or they can be co-ops that rotate between school and work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
