At least they can look at those participation trophies and remember back when they were something important.
I never understood why participation trophies were a criticism against millenials. Millenials did not want participation trophies...the parents of the millenials wanted the participation trophies for their kids.

Hold on, you’re saying it’s a poor financial decision to stay on your parents phone plan and pay a reduced rate vs getting off the plan and having to pay significantly more?
Rent and groceries are bull shite but don’t try to convince me paying more for cell phone is a good show of independence.

Millennials deserve these reparations from boomers

what is the point of building wealth if you can't/don't share it with family (or friends)?
There is a group of young people today who either don't see anything wrong with someone else paying for them to live, or don't want to take the necessary steps needed to be able to provide for themselves. I can't comprehend that mindset.

Its probably almost all cell phone bills. Its so much cheaper to keep a line on a plan than an entirely new plan. If you arent broke, you arent gonna make a fuss over paying an extra $10 a month to keep ur kids on ur plan

Got anything at least from the last 5 years? More Millennials now approaching their 40s than back in 2011. You looking at a time when the much smaller Gen X was more in their career building stage. Millenials were just getting started back then. Should start swinging harder to them in the next few years as the last hurrah of the Boomers slowly fades away.
Closest I could find was in 2015 with boomers at 38%, X at 36%, Millenials at 25%. Said the boomers dropped 2% from the year before and will only see more drastic drops in the coming years. 25% is a decent dent from people with much lower salaries due to experience and seniority.

IIRC they can give as much as they want, but anything over 15k counts against the inheritance tax exclusion.

Bunch of pussies. No bullshite. My dad passed away my first year of college. My name was then listed as an owner of the family house. My mom made me pay her $200 a month.
My allowance was my parents buying me the things I needed when I was a teenager. School clothes, school material. One day they up and decided to buy me a stereo for my room. There was a sale and it was 75% off. That was a big deal because then I was able to get my brother's tapes and make copies from the blank tapes I was able to talk my parents into buying when they were getting the stereo.
One time I asked for an allowance and my dad laughed and said "you want me to just give you money?" If I was over the age of 18 and was getting an allowance from my parents I'd be embarrassed. And if I didn't have the money for a call phone, etc, etc I'd just have to do without.

More millenials graduate with a STEM degree than any other generation
Sorry kid, but Social Sciences don't exactly count in the STEM field and a B.S. in Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and pretty much any other non-applied STEM field are pretty much as worthless as Lib. Arts majors unless paired into a well thought out graduate program. My fiancee's Ph.D. in pathology isn't worth much but when paired with her DMD it makes both degrees considerably more marketable. Millenials love to claim they are the most educated generation to date but they are miserable at actually applying that education, they require more supervision, more double-checking, and are seldom as self-motivated or are willing to step outside of whatever narrowly self-determined limits they imagine they can impose on an employer. Nowhere is this more evident than the Army BCT cycle I just got back from. The current generation is garbage when put in even the rather moderate amount of physical and mental stress basic training is now hamstrung into delivering. Had one trainee threaten to call in a SHARPEO (the little idiots don't grasp the fact that SHARP and EO are two completely different things so they just run them together) complaint because she was told to mop the CTA floor faster. This counted as bullying to her...

Sweet brag about being poor post
Posted on 7/30/19 at 12:27 pm to Salmon
I was on my parents cell phone plan until last year. I’d pay them a couple hundred bucks a year and it saved everyone money.

I lovethese threads where a bunch of people come and brag because their parents are poor and irresponsible.
My grandparents took my family and my dad's two siblings family on vacation every year until it became too hard for everyone to sync schedules. Not because any of the kids couldn't afford it, but because my grandparents could afford it and wanted to share and spend time with their entire family together. My parents paid for most of my college and still pick up the tab at dinner a lot of times. Again, not because I can't pay for my own food, but because they like sharing and spending time with their kids.
Congrats on paying for all your own shite because you have stupid aren't though.

Of course it is.
Meanwhile, baby boomers are putting the silent generation in nursing homes and trying to hide their assets so they can qualify for Medicaid. Such heroes.
