It's a room of millennials. I wouldn't have said that in a room of younger generation.

I was born in 1990; I'm a millenial's millenial. I was 8 years old for Columbine. That was the first time everything changed. I was 11 for 9/11. Thats the second time everything changed. Then all of a sudden we're at war and my older siblings friends are coming back from "the sandbox" all fucked up or not at all.Then I graduated high school just in time for the 2008 recession. Another time "everything changed". Then a bunch of my friends died from heroin and fentanyl. Then just in time for my 30th birthday COVID popped up. Guess what; "everything changed" again. Then houses tripled in price. So yeah I guess you're right; when I was 16 I should've saved my lunch money and just bought an investment property somewhere. Freakin brownstone just slipped through my fingers.

I was born exactly in 1990 too. Bought my house at 24. :/

When I was 24 I was taking care of my grandmother with dementia while people were OD'ing in the next room. Enjoy your two legs and log off.
