First Twenge says people buy their first houses in their late 20s or early 30s, then makes an argument about how a person born in 1981 (me) would be buying their first home in 2011 - at 20. What??!

I feel like Twenge makes a lot of assumptions that she doesn't back up.

I saved. So much money. And all of it got wiped out when I got laid off during the Great Recession. Don't give me this crap that Millennials are flying high financially.

Nope, this infuriates me right here. Twenge is trying to argue that Millennials and Gen X are totally in line financially with Boomers, but she doesn't take into account that things like homes are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE, even taking inflation into account. We were beyond lucky to get a home we could afford. Ugh. Millennials (since she is squarely putting me in that group) are still super disadvantaged financially.

"It'd be a lot cooler if you did": Thank you ever so much for the Dazed & Confused reference drop, Jean Twenge.
