> Around 16% of all millennials have reportedly achieved a net worth of over $1 million
Don’t let reddit see this. No one has a job, everyone is struggling, something something, Donald Trump. Reddit also likes to mention that every millennial conveniently graduated during the 08-09 recession and hasn’t recovered since.
Are young people struggling? Absolutely, not sure why the now middle aged Reddit millennials do the most whining.
There is no real comparison to how other generations were doing at a similar age, how the other 84% are doing, or any other substantial analysis. The article has a revelation that many have benefited from a strong stock market. Shocking!
