Well that's my story.
But I was able to put 15% down on my first house to keep my mortgage low and my PMI was removed soon after. Why couldn't you do that? Your generation just doesn't know how to handle money.

I also heard this:

"We didn't have skateboards when I was a kid. We had a football or basketball or a baseball. We went out played REAL sports until the sun went down and went home to eat dinner tired as hell. You guys just goofing off all day, that's not a sport, and it's not exercise."

and later:

"Why are your legs so big? You should be a quarterback with those legs. You're wasting your legs."

Things were actually pretty much the same back in my day as they are today, but I don't remember most of the lovely times, and I don't see a distinction between my current self from myself 30 years ago even though I was just as unsure about the future as you are now.

Yes, I moderate an online forum called "Somethingawful". No, not "Something is awful". "Somethingawful", all one word. Yes, it's a real internet site. It's a comedy site, sort of. I moderate the part called "general bullshit." Yes, it has the word "poo poo" in the title. Yes, that's allowed online. You can even say "gently caress" if you want.

lol if you freely disclose this information to anyone but your closest friends, regardless of age.

You're getting your stereotypes mixed up, the millenials working in the cool offices with beanbag chairs are the yuppie scum getting paid six figures and pricing poor people out of cities

The ones getting hosed over by their bosses and making no money for no hours are the ones stuck in the middle of nowhere with no better options than the night shift at Rite Aid
