    I never lacked ambition. I looked at other millennials and thought "Well, fuck that." and I decided I'd rather make something of myself than jerk around on my phone all day.

    It’s hard to find a good paying job. Most jobs I’m finding pay 12 ish an hour which is awful. I’ve seen plenty of young people with ambition so I’ve never seen the millenials are lazy thing.

      Basic life skills. Haven't you noticed family values have dropped since the millennial age began? I blame bad parenting all the way. That's the whole point in parents. To teach kids what to do when they grow up.

      The reason why your getting downvoted is because what you said is far from the truth. Not everybody asked to be homeless, not have a job, degree and live in their parents homes. Far from the truth. Many never had those privileges. Certain things were taken away from them. Many were abused. Or the system failed them. The world is biased and follows the pyramid scheme system. Where the rich will continue to stay rich and the middle are either growing or declining, and the poor will remain poor and get poorer. Many things I wanted to do, I couldn't do because I had responsibilities placed on me. Things were denied for me because of my families financial status. I wanted to go to college. I couldn't without having o fill out the FAFSA. Couldn't fill that out because I was denied my parents tax returns. Was threatened to be homeless, etc. So ignorant statements like that is why people stay depressed and oppressed. Maybe some are spoiled. But not everybody is.

      You don't how to respond because you think and believe everybody's circumstances are the same. It isn't. When I was in high school, I had a classmate who dropped out of school, and I had the same mindset as you did. Until I graduated high school and suddenly it happened to me. I'm living it. Things don't happen whenever you think and want it to happen. Some get the help, others don't want to help you. When I finish my OP, take a good read for yourself and you will understand hopefully.

      @btbc92 Please do not comment on my mindset if you don't know anything about me. Myself, my parents or my financial situation. Trust me I'm very much familiar with concept of things not happening how and when we want them. You're accusing me of ingorance but you're doing pretty much the same thing yourself.
      What I wrote was just a joke, which I already mentioned twice in this comment section. I'm not going to apologize if some people misunderstood it.
