Millennials Are Sharing How They Feel About The Idea That We Have "No Hope"

"they had less inflation, better pay ratios...millennials and below will almost NEVER be able to live like the generations before us, supporting a family, owning two cars and a house, and taking multiple vacations with a single job. There are studies that show we even work harder. It's massive burnout, and the hopelessness is warranted."

"Every few years, something happens to the American economy that transfers a ton of wealth to the top, and the lower class gets bigger and more poverty-stricken."

"I have health insurance that requires me to pay almost half my annual income before it pays anything. Every time I think I have enough money to save a little, the inflation rate outpaces my meager ability to save."

Millennials report deep burnout and a sense of hopelessness driven by deteriorating economic conditions and shrinking opportunity. Wage growth lags behind rising costs for housing, healthcare, and everyday expenses, while inflation erodes savings. Repeated boom-and-bust cycles shift wealth upward, enlarging lower-income populations and reducing middle-class stability. Many younger adults simultaneously manage childcare and eldercare, constraining career growth and flexibility. Pay ratios and employment conditions mean many cannot attain prior-generation standards like homeownership, multiple vehicles, and regular vacations from a single job, despite working as hard or harder than previous generations.
