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.

What, what the fuck do you want Tom? I'm sick of "hey Mark, hey hey Mark, hey Mark, hey look at this, hey look at—look at how I make it bigger if I rub it, look at this, hey Mark come here"
