We've got loads here in Maine.

I will agree that things are harder now, but with 2 college degrees I still walked to work because I couldn't afford to register my car. I didn't start making a livable wage until I was in my 40's. Everyone worked a side gig. If you didn't have a family you had roommates, multiple, just to get by. Cell phones, cable tv, a computer? Forget about it. In my 50's now, I have plenty, which to some millennials appears to be a lot. Assuming it was easy for me to get here or that this somehow happened in my 20's or 30's is delusional. Plus, I was always paid less to do more than my male counterparts while constantly being sexually harassed and don't get me started on the holidays I had to work because I didn't have a family. I suffered plenty but I pushed on because that is what you do. I have a millennial nephew that worked hard and was able to pay off his student loans within two years of graduating and bought a home two years after that. And my degrees were not frivolous liberal artsy ones
