The Struggle Is Real: A Deep Dive Into Millennial Lives (With Guest Jess)


Listen Later

In today's episode, I am joined by one of my best friends... Jess!! We talk about.. MILLENNIALS!

First we give a little background into milennial lives- how we've been disruptive as a generative, how we love charcuterie boards, and how we grew up as the internet was taking hold. We share about our own struggles with money and share facts and statistics about why so many milennials are struggling: this includes crippling debt from 4 year institutions, high cost of living, and inflation while salaries and wages remain stagnant.

It's sad and it's frustrating. For many of us, building wealth and buying houses seems unattainable. Many millennial couples are choosing not to have kids, let alone pets. But we're resilient as hell. We're getting creative with how we make money, were starting more conversations around finanical literacy, and we still believe that one day we will live abundant, thriving lives.

If you're a milennial who is struggling, if you live paycheck to paycheck, if you have tried to save money, if life just feels hard sometimes because of the dumpster fire we're living in… This podcast if for you.

We refer to Millennial Income Statistics and this excellent New York Times article, which is also a deep dive into millennial lives. Jess refers to The Money with Katie Show podcast episode: Where's the Millennial Middle Class.

Start at minute 20 is you want to skip the intros and jump right into the money/struggle conversation.

At the end of the episode, we joke that this song that this should be every Millennial's new mantra: I am healthy, I am wealthy. I am rich, I am that bitch!

Millennials, we got this!
