help-understand Milleniums?

Easy now guys! It ain't all of us young guys! I was born in '85, got a job wen I was 15yrs old and have been working since! Moved out at 18 on my dime, got married at 20 on my dime, bought my house when I was 25, owned 45+ cars on my dime, taking the wife to Italy next week on my dime! I'm proud to say that I got *** whoopins' when I deserved 'em, was taught respect and the rewards of hard work! I've got two kids, 10 and 7, and they get the same kind of raising I got!

The problem with the majority of these "millennials" is that they haven't been raised right! You take away parents and teachers right to correct and chastise a disobedient child, and this is what you get! This problem started a long time ago when people chose to take the easy way out and let the kids act how they wanted! Now we've got a nation of lazy, entitled, useless, helpless, educated idiots!

My story is fairly similar. I'm currently 22 years old, I got my first full time job at 15, my first car was a 75 Scamp that I never did get on the road much. Bought the next 22 vehicles on my own (mostly cars I bought cheap and parted out for project money). Started dating my wife at 18, bought our first house and got married at 19. 2 years later we bought 149 acres and put up 2 chicken houses. Now at 22 years old I own a house, own 6 cars, am self employed, and looking to buy another house and 16 acres (and a huge shop :D) that joins our farm. But y'all are right, majority of my generation is probably as y'all said.
