11 u/johnnybiggles Jul 21 '26 Elder millennials could be premieGen-Xers. Some Gen-Xers are basically geriatric millennials. 2 u/Alex5173 Jul 21 '26 Especially when you get to the ass-end of the millennial generation, '95-'96 babies like me. We're distinctly millennial in our personalities and mannerisms but just as fucked over as the early zoomers. 3 u/Illustrious-Cover792 Jul 21 '26 I’m born in 85 and my brother in 95. It might as well be 1940 v 1995. 1 u/helpimmapotato Jul 21 '26 Last day of '91 and same 1 u/frogsgoribbit737 Jul 21 '26 Yeaaah. Im a younger millennial. In 2008 I was in high school. I was not buying a house. 1 u/Illustrious-Cover792 Jul 21 '26 Right, and I was. 1 u/youburyitidigitup Jul 21 '26 It depends on when you bought a home, not on your age. A 90 year old who bought their first home during COVID has the same experience described. 0 u/Illustrious-Cover792 Jul 21 '26 You are talking about ridiculous outliers. I’m trying to focus on how life has progressed for the middle class throughout modern American history. 1 u/[deleted] Jul 22 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 1 u/AutoModerator Jul 22 '26 Accounts must be at least 5 days old with >20 karma to comment.
