35 Things Millennials Wish The Older Generation Would Realize

By Thought Catalog

14. I can’t afford to live on my own. I have a degree, goddammit. I don’t have kids, I don’t have unnecessary extra expenses to cut out of my life. I just can’t afford to live on my own. That’s just how our economy is right now.

Please, stop shaming millennials for needing help to afford HOUSING and FOOD. Two incomes are borderline necessary in this economy, so don’t try and make me become a housewife. I can’t AFFORD to be a housewife. I can’t AFFORD children. I can’t AFFORD a HOME.

We’re not destroying industries like diamonds, magazines, designer handbags, and starter homes. Those industries aren’t accessible to a lot of us!!!

15. Things are different, and that’s okay. We talk, socialize, and work very differently then people did even 10 years ago. It’s not bad; it’s just different.
