In reply to the discussion: Time magazine=Millennials Are Lazy, Entitled Narcissists Who Still Live With Their Parents [View all]bayareamike
(602 posts)70. Exactly. Thanks for posting this.
Many of us live at home -- and believe me, I count my blessings that I'm able to -- because in trying to make it these days one must, for the most part, take on a lot of debt. Personally, I have six figures of debt from school. I graduated into a crappy economy and am working my way up. I support my girlfriend who is still in school and works at the same time. I also help pay the bills at home, because my dad lost his job in the recession and my family took a large financial hit as a result.
Yeah, I'm definitely lazy.
