Here's a question, what's worse? A steretypical millenial or a stereotypical hippie?
I say hippies are worse. My BIL is a hippy. I hate hippies. |

Quoted:
OK, the kid is 28 years old. At 22, he graduated a major university honors program magna cum laude. He is multilingual. For the past six years, he has worked in Colorado at resorts (seasonal employment as waitstaff in restaurants, one stint as an assistant manager). When seasonal employment ends, he files for unemployment and goes on taxpayer-funded vacation. He has no real debt (I gave him my old Nissan truck as a graduation present, and his parents covered college). He says he doesn't have a full-time job yet because he can't figure out what he wants to do in life. Now, he wants to travel to New Zealand on a "working vacation" visa. It requires 5K in a bank account and I expect he's going to try to beg it out of my parents. He's a Bernie supporter. I want to beat him like he's ANTIFA (hell, he just might be). Am I wrong to feel this much anger at a relative? Not trolling, just REALLY pissed off. My dad met me for lunch today, and had my nephew in tow. Goddamn millennials!!!! View Quote My nephew is a 29 year old junkie. Yours seems like a goddamn success in comparison. |

Reminds me of my niece.
She's 25 or so, lives with Mom, and has a job working retail. Pretty much has no clue what responsibility is, and lives to have fun. If something happened to her mother, the kid wouldn't have a clue about being on her own. |

You sound jealous. Don't let that hate burn you up.
I suspect the difference is point of view. Im an old millennial, my parents are boomers. my wife and I live a modest lifestyle and well within our means. I work part time and am back in school, my wife is a stay-at-home mom. This life makes us happy and we're indebted to no one but our mortgage. We have a small house and two used cars. my parents live in a huge house, and it's just the two of them. they call our house a "starter house." I call their house a "waste" I believe boomers and Millinails just have different goals. |

Oh nice, another 'millennials suck' thread. People used to just call these types of people 'hippies'. Now apparently a whole generation sucks due to their own version of 'hippies'.

That is nothing compared to what I did after college. I had the world at my fingertips but instead partied my ass off for 10 straight years, all the while working dead end jobs I was waaaaay over qualified for because I could never commit to any one path, and was always making plans I never bothered to fulfill. Took me a long time to recover from that, never really did career wise, but oh well. Anyway, my point is I am not a millennial, this is nothing new.

OP, relax. Next time you see your nephew give him a hug and be thankful he exists.
My nephew also graduated cum laude from a major school in engineering. He was a hard worker, a real go-getter. Worked every summer between sessions. Got accepted into a Masters program at another major university in Ohio. Was well liked. Just was elected team leader for his engineering project team. Then one day, just before Christmas, he jumped from a 9 story parking garage. No one knows why. I'd trade anything to have him back, slacker or not. |

View Quote In case you didn't already know, he smokes a metric fuckton of weed. I guarantee it, given the description and where he lives. He knows exactly what he wants to do: not work a whole lot and smoke things. When he says he doesn't have direction in life, it means he hasn't found a job yet that will pay him more than he makes now without doing more work. If he could keep the bills paid himself that'd be fine, but the cyclical taxpayer funded vacations is something I see a lot, and nothing good comes of it. |

A girl I know- smart, athletic, attractive. Got a 4-year degree (I think it was in restaurant and resort management?) and then promptly moved to the mountains, became voluntarily homeless, and works either as a ski-bum or rafting guide. She lived in her car for over a year. She used to post all the time on Facebook about how awesome it was and how everyone is a sucker that works and pays for a mortgage. She married a guy I dislike - he's a "Navy Guy" he told me, got injured in OCS and draws quite a bit a month in disability for a "bad back" and he's also a rafting guide. He frequently posts pictures on Facebook of him carrying his wife around, back must be really bad. He did a stint as a canoe guide in boundary waters as well. She graduated in 2012 I think. Their recent project is they bought a small bus which they are converting to their "house". View Quote |

I'm sure a lot of veterans had a parent or family member who thought similar things when they enlisted.

It doesn't sound like he's hurting anyone or taking anyone's money from reading the original post. But I might have missed that part. The unemployment is borderline, but we (unfortunately) all pay into it while we work, even him.
It sounds like his parents chose to pay for college and you chose to give him the truck. It would be a different matter if he was stealing or even using guilt to make people give him money. Even though it's the path I took and I enjoy it, there's nothing inherently better about the guy that works his life away than they guy that lives in a shack on the river and goes fishing all day. Gotta admit, sometimes that grass looks greener on the side of the guy fishing, though I could never do it. |

Is this a nephew bashing thread?
I have one who is 20 something. He maintains the speech patterns and vocabulary of that of a 13 year old girl. He was accepted at a state university and was expelled for not bothering to attend classes. He is a competitive cheer leader. He is a slob He trains horses & cleans stables at a boarder. Works part time at Applebee's There is some sort of daily drama in his life that he spews on FB. He and his boyfriend hope to adopt a little girl |

Nobody doing this is putting in what they're getting out of it; I'm sitting here paying extra taxes so they can blow other people's money on Netflix, weed, and trinkets. Not to mention the money they eat up in Obamacare subsidies, etc. |

the real shitty thing he's doing is collecting unemployment as a healthy and bale working young man.
but shit, if he has the means and his parents let him do that shit then if you give an inch they'll take a mile. |
