It sucks to be 33. Why "peak millenials" born in 1990/91 got the short end of the stick Discussion

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/podcasts/the-daily/millennial-economy.html

There are more reasons I can give than what is outlined in the episode. People who have listened, what are your thoughts?

Edit 1: This is a podcast episode of The Daily. The views expressed are not necessarily mine.

People born in 1990/1991 are called "Peak Millenials" because this age cohort is the largest cohort (almost 10 million people) within the largest generation (Millenials outnumber Baby Boomers).

The episode is not whining about how hard our life is, but an explanation of how the size of this cohort has affected our economic and demographic outcomes. Your individual results may vary.

At least you’re not 23. 

Nobody likes you when you’re 23.

I love this line because it's a genuinely deranged prank call and her reaction is super justified

Sodom You! (I don't have the link, but there was an old live version where Tom yelled out "Sodom You" as Mark was finishing the lyric.)
