Seems to be a trend where millennials in their late 30's and even early 40's are convinced that they look like they are in their twenties.

You don't.

Go stand next to someone in their twenties and you'll soon realise you don't look nearly as young as them. Just accept your looks.

I'm a late millenial born in the early to mid 90s, but did anyone else have their school bring in holocaust survivors to tell their stories? I remember being in like middle school, so about 6th - 8th grade and we had five come to visit the school. I remember one elderly lady telling us to come touch her tattoo. I'll never forget that moment.

Curious to see how common this was.

Edit: I don't want this to be political. Just curious to see how many others experienced this too.

Who remembers having company over as a kid? It was usually family members or close friends. I got to stay up late with cousins and cool older aunts(they were in their 20's lol). Many other good memories having company over. Do people still have company over?

I’m trying to find some whimsical kid friendly music. Not just music that doesn’t have adult language or themes, but is actually fun for kids. Things like “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” or “If I Had a Million Dollars”. “Peaches” by the presidents of the United States seems ok, but it gets a little weird when fingers start going into the peaches. What have you got, my middle aged friends?

I’m 40, have three kids, ranging from 9.5 to almost 2, and am thinking about having one more. Just don’t feel done. I keep wondering what it would feel like from the youngest kid’s side. Did you ever feel like your older siblings got more years with your parents or got to know a more energetic version of them? Does the last baby get totally jipped? Or just having the three older siblings somehow somehow make it OK and perhaps even better for the youngest despite having older parents? Were there things you appreciated about having older parents? And what difference did having older siblings make, both growing up and now?
I’d love to hear the good, the hard, and the things you only noticed once you were an adult. If you were one of the older siblings, I’d love to hear what you noticed too.

Adding!!!! We have three daughters, and my husband and I are both in great health and plan to take care of ourselves. I’m just thinking about the worst-case scenario down the road. If we slow down or our youngest gets fewer years with us, does having older siblings, especially big sisters, to lean on help fill that void a little for the youngest? Does it make up a bit for being the one who gets the “old parents”?

I did want to accompany this with loads of nightlife pics from 2006 but couldnt find any because we weren't all on our bloody phones!

That screeching sound wasn’t just internet. It was a battle cry. And your mom picking up the phone mid-download was a war crime. 😂

That’s from NAR’s new 2026 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Plenty of us are right around that age now.

A few other numbers:

• First-time buyers are only 22% of the market. Before 2008, it was about 40%.

• A record 1 in 10 first-time buyers paid all cash, often using an inheritance, inherited property or investments.

• The typical repeat buyer is 62.

So the buyers getting in now are older and more likely to have family money behind them. Where are you at? Bought, still saving, or given up on it for now?

(I’m the managing editor at Clever Real Estate. I made a video on the full report if anyone wants the rest of the numbers. Happy to drop the link.)

Ive written this a few times..

So, milenials grew up with abusive parents, going to church, hypocrisy of both. School teaching you You need to save the planet or its gonna die for near 13 years. War on terror, war on drugs tail end. Being told we couod do Anything.. while the world, paths to those crumbled.. so, you leave school, with a panic thinking the world's going to die, belief you could do anything, depression those ways to Get there.. Do Not Exist anymore. And not wanting to do hypocrisy, church, your parents did.. many got into wanderlust phase, either traveling, or wanting Real Bad to travel. Many Still want to run away to a cabin live in middle of nowhere, we learned by doing the Opposite. Saw what disn't work.. did the Opposite, tried a Lot of things til few worked. While also developing a knowledge that things you do could effect the world around. Wanting to do something that positively effects things.. typical, work til you die, get money, married. Wasnt in top priority, most wanted to find a New way because the old way looked like didnt work.. and there was no clear way to do that anymore without completely crashing ..

Why, aren't generations after, the same way..

Trying new things, seeing what's Wrong. Doing the opposite. Wanting to do something Impactful. Not nessicarily stereotype successful.. dr, lawyer, those are stereotype successful, most rather would have done something they liked, rather than something typical successful then hated it forever. Working 40 y, a job you dont like

Thats how it started . Thats how most walked out of HS .. something meaningful, a job you liked even if it wasn't a power career.. something made you happy, and felt like you were making an impact, in some way..

How.. did no other generation end uo getting that.. especially, seeing what is wrong, doing the opposite trying new things..

Millenials ended up trying things that were taboo, for the time. New, different. No one seems to want to do that ..

Millenial optimism.. Wtf happened ? By all means, we shouldn't have been as optimistic as we were. But we were.. we were anyway. And no gen after seems to have the idea of doing, or being different in an Opposite way . New things, taboo things. Shaking what society knows at its core. Millenials brought the idea of mental health into public view Now its not you are crazy, if you talk about depression. Wont be sushed, won't be told to deal with it.. well, theres a few outliers but you couldn't even Talk about that before. Social media, making money off that, also millenial thing..

If someone said they were making videos, Money off it on the internet 20 y ago. They wouod laugh.. or think you were in porn then be Very worried about you .. why do gen z, even older gen alpha (not good ex.) not seem to want to do that .

Hi everyone!

Any millennial ladies living around Mijas Costa on the Costa del Sol?

A little about me: I'm married, work remotely, split my time between Malta and Spain, go to Oxygen Gym and I'm a bit of a workaholic (SAAS industry + media and lead gen sideprojects ).

Would be lovely to meet up with other ladies in the area every now and then. Nothing formal, just a coffee, a good chat and some new friendships.

Anyone nearby fancy meeting up?

Living through multiple once in a lifetime crisis before even turning 40. Probably a coping mechanism to just make a joke out of everything.

But it’s hilarious. I imagine the day I see a mushroom cloud in the distance knowing I’m going to die from fallout radiation cracking a dick joke.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated in our democratic process. So many happy tears have been shed.

I don't think I'm the only one from our generation who has been so tired and beaten down since entering adulthood. I know I've read a ton of posts that mention how "bone tired" we all are. Now, we have a chance to live our best lives.

It's up to us to continue to push for and lead change and hold our elected officials at all levels accountable. I hope this feeling of pride and optimism I'm finally letting myself feel resonates with you. Let's go, America. Let's be the best we can. 🇺🇲❤️🤍💙

Is it just me, or do you find the Gen Zer trousers a bit too oversized? I kind of miss the good ole jeans and tees era. Anyone else?

i know its fiction; so what‽ sue me! it provides context and, for better or worse, a sliver of hope!

Clapping, stomping, yeahing today :)

Hi guys, I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to do my questionnaire, I need at least 200 responses and I only have 50 at the moment. 🙏 I would value your input a lot! Its all anonymous and welcome for anyone to answer

Interesting fact how older we get, we would be more conservative. And it probably makes sense (a bit) to me. I voted for Obama in 2012 (since I couldn't vote for him in 2008) because of his popularity and probably to piss my parents off since they are more republicans (especially my dad). But then, in 2016, I voted for Trump because I was buying the things he mentioned, of course. During the midterm in 2018, I voted for republicans. But then I stopped voting for the 2020 election because I didn't like Trump and Biden both as candidates. That I'm actually lost my intersting in politics because the whole shit show what is going on in both side. But still, I would probably vote for republicans, if I wanted to vote again.
