It's only a matter of time before the snowflake generation demand that BigFooty no longer allows users to describe the best footy players as a "guns" because Australian vernaculars = violence :rainbow:

I found the case report for the complaint in which the complainant states that members of her family including her 11 year old son were also offended. By laws of averages and basing my assumption on the average childbearing age of a millenial being 28, I would assume that the complainant was not in fact a millenial, but a gen x. SMH.

Detective Harry to the rescue.

Sorry, I should have posted the entire article. There were 100 complaints, 99 were from millenials and 1 from a vegan transgender GenXer who identifies as a millenial.

Um my pop used to make my dad drive him home from the pub with his siblings in the back of the ute. My dad was 11 LOL.

We didn't even have seat belts in the back seats of cars nor were there laws to enforce it when I was a kid. Myself and my entire 5th grade class went on a school excursion to Mt Macedon sitting on the back of a ute. They were diffferent times though and that's all we had available to us. There is absolutely no excuse for any of that with the technically advanced cars of today. The law is also very clear in regards to all occupants of vehicles being restrained. The truth is this millenial has a late model car with all the safety bells and whistles inside yet her 4 year old is riding on the roof wearing only a nappy. I understand her mind was probably occupied elsewhere by more pressing matters like sexting her ice dealer while driving, but that's not really an excuse.

The job is paying $50,000 a year.

That's more than my Gen X bosses paid me in my previous role where I was expected to work 60 hours a week.

And at least he is honest about the role instead of promising an amazing work place with a work place culture like no other.

I find it rich that someone of your generation would talk about paying other people minimum. The average millennial's salary is pretty much going backwards when compared to the cost of living. Unlike our greedy elders who just wan't MORE MORE MORE.

Good on this guy for getting himself into a position where he can even employ someone like this at age 28.

lol then stop spending $50 a day on take away coffees and smashed avo on toast. When I was young it was nescafe instant from the tea room.

The truth is, your elders had to work for 20+ years to accumilate the wealth that you millenials expect to have in your early 20's without having even earned it.

You missed the point completely. They are supposed to be an entrepreneur yet they're expecting this lowly paid part-time PA to "multiply his effectivness" by running the company for him while he sits around eating soy based products.

I disagree. I have a client that bought a house in Williams Town for $90,000 at age 24. It is now worth $1.8 million.

He bought his second place in Geelong at age 32 for $90,000 also. It is now worth $900,000. Both were paid off fairly quickly.

He lives in Geelong and rents out the Williams Town property some uni students for $780 per week... $40,560.

To put it simply, an original deposit of $18,000 over the two properties is now worth $2.7 million plus $40,560 per annum in income. What work did he put in to have such a huge jump in wealth besides paying off the tiny $90,000 loans?

Now days what does a deposit of $9,000 or even $18,000 get you?

To make things even harder, property prices have been rising faster than the average income growth for millennials.

If there is little hope of getting into the property market until someones parents pass away (touch wood that is not to soon) why wouldn't we live it up now, travel etc. No point saving money if there is nothing to spend it on.

Listening to 70's music,sooo good!



We invented the internet,all the good music!
Born in the 60's raise yer eskies!

Millenials ,you gotta change your evil ways.

 
Baby boomers had the best lives,really jelly of them.

Imagine going to Festival Hall to see Jethro Tull or Yes or Skyhooks or Split Enz at their peak.

oh my.

Nothing beats that!

Another 70's ditty.

It's all relative. The house you buy will be worth 100 Trillion dollars in 30 years :)

The issue is buying a house in the first place when wage growth for millenials has been negative compared to CPI since 2010 and housing prices have risen on average 6.8%.

I am 29 and most of the people my age that have bought houses lived with their parents until they were in a position to buy. Not everyone has that luxury.

No they don't. Neither missus nor I had the opportunity to freeload off our parents whilst saving for a home.
