Our backs hurt and our knees aren't what they used to be.

I'm an old millennial and many of the millennials that I know (around 70:30 split) have started a family. Usually when you have a child your perspective starts to shift.

I’m only a few years older than a zoomer and I have nothing to lose.

Try again.

Try taking care of your family and say you have nothing to lose.

I assue you I have very little to lose.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're the backbone of your family there's suddenly a lot of things to be lost.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I don't, I'm a total loser.

Only if they're in a career that got some pay rises that sorta kept up with inflation in the last couple of decades such as software development or... Finance?
