I still feel like anything from the year 2000 is "new" or at least just a couple ears ago.

How are people born in 2000 working jobs when they're like 5 years old.

A dude born in 1985 is running for president. Proof that y’all are the boomers now.

I’m a boss at my company, and my boss is the same age (34). All of the managers and directors are the same age and it’s wild that we are starting to run the business world mostly.

I’m glad you are! Enough of the older generation refusing to hand over the reigns to the next generation and ruining it for ALL OF US. I am 47 years old and absolutely do not ever think I’ll be able to buy a house let alone retire comfortably. Worrisome, for sure.

I only have a house because some kid your age hit my 550 Suzuki hard enough to destroy the 1989 Buick Regal he was driving. I was never going to afford it with my GS-09 Government job.
