A Half Of Millennials Live Paycheck To Paycheck, Most Don't Think They Will Ever Be Millionaires

Graduated with an IT degree only to have Cisco change their whole certification program less than a year out of graduation, screwing me unless I redid half my classes. Spent 5 years bouncing to various crappy hourly jobs and JUST NOW got a good insurance sales job that pays something worth mentioning. Marriage and family have been delayed half a decade for lack of income leading to lack of housing and a car. Starting up two off-the-table cash-only jobs for extra income and have had to come to terms with the fact that I will be living to some extent illegally until I’m too old to work anymore. That part hurts even more than the realization that there will be no retirement because I was raised in a home that had 1950’s views on following the law.

I have LONG since had to give up on good hourly paying jobs (ya know, where your income is guaranteed instead of sales where you may work for nothing) because after Obama they literally don’t exist. Unless you have at least 2 years training and a degree in a very specialized trade they are totally nonexistent, either gone out of business or shipped to China.

I’ve voted nothing but conservative since I was 18 and have no legal record at all. No arrests, ever. Solid credit to where card offers are becoming a major nuisance. Don’t play online games at all, no ‘Warcraft addiction’ or similar.

With our final election boiling down to a socialist witch and a pseudo-conservative millionaire troll, suffice it to say that I’m starting to sympathize with proponents of legalized euthanasia. Agreeing to donate your blood & organs and going to sleep with a kind word would, I think, beat 50 years of watching every promise you were told as a child turn to a lie and your nation and community falling to ashes.
