Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

In the same way that we should stop consuming media that blames everything on millennials, we should stop consuming media about how uniquely difficult it is for millennials.
Complaining about the younger generation, and the younger generation complaining that they have it uniquely difficult, has been the experience since the invention of teenagers. It was my experience, and it’ll be the same experience when millennials are my age.
You should probably take a look at how many hours the average young person had to work a week to pay for their education or to pay rent back then,compared to now… The numbers I can find suggest the average college aged person had to work around 18 hours a week to pay for their own education back in 1970. Today they have to work 61 hours a week.
Saying the younger generation doesn’t have it harder in most western countries is objectively wrong.
I’m sure that the younger generations were complaining right before the fall of Rome too, they needed to get over it, what a bunch of losers.
