How do these people support themselves? This is bad for those kids and bad for this country. I'm in my mid 50s, if Warren is elected I'm doing the same thing. I will retire with with Warrens health insurance and my saving, and retirement. Two years under her and this country will look like a Mad Max movie.

"Suck it up, Buttercup!" Can you imagine the response of today's bunch of snowflakes to an event like Pearl Harbor, or even 9/11? They would all go to their designated "safe space' and cuddle up with a teddy bear! Somehow us baby boomers have raised a couple of generations of whiny pansies with lace on their drawers who aren't even sure what their biological plumbing is for- - - - -let alone having a set of balls big enough to rise to the occasion when their very existence is in jeopardy!

Can't take any pressure or demands & no sense of responsibility or ownership to take care of themselves; need to run to a "safe" place.

Sad.

Higher living costs are causing them to quit? Isn't that backwards? Burnout? from what? 2 years of work?

The poor dears.

The surge in the popularity of Socialism is the result. The idea of something for nothing at someone else's expense is very appealing.

People tend to only do what they have to do. As long as Mommy and Daddy are providing a comfortable safety net there is no pain for doing stupid chit.

Democrats got what they want from the children.

This is how the participation trophy finally manifests.

My fear is the "real stuff" – clinical depression, acute anxiety disorder, unresolved grief, ptsd etc. risks being diminished by all those who may just simply lack mental toughness.

A younger friend of mine says I wouldn't believe the number of working, millennial-aged people who appear to be doing well, only because their parents are still subsidizing them to a significant degree. When you see the late 20's or early 30's couple with a nice house, nice cars, nice clothes, multiple kids, and jobs like high-school coach or fitness trainer, it's the previous generation picking up a good bit of the tab, more often than not. That's probably not a good trend for the long run.

If I was 35 and making pizzas for a living I know I'd be depressed

I did a presentation to some college Seniors this week. In it I pointed out to them that if they chose to live on the east or west coast in an urban area, if they had a $100K salary, 38% of their take home pay would go toward renting a 1 bedroom apartment.

Whereas if they chose to live in the midwest (outside Chicago) 22% of their income could land them a 3/2 starter home

I don't see too many depressed working Millienials in the midwest (well maybe a little in February)

There is no such thing as a starter house. The first must be the best. Same thing with every thing they own. Spoiled is the term I believe. I’m afraid they are in for a big awakening. Hasbeen

I've never had a problem with their work ethic. But their sense of entitlement is pretty bothersome

I am guessing the greatest generation said the same thing about my generation when we were 25 too

how can you compete with "when I was your age we were killing Nazi's....AND WE LIKED IT!"

One of the cousin's boyfriend (about23yr old) was telling me that at his QuikLube job they were all
"hung up on" being on time and showing up when scheduled.

I beleive the title of the article is a bit misleading. If I read the article correctly, it merely states that 50% have quit a job, not quit working altogether. Gotta take some of these articles with grain of salt.....if a survey asks if you've ever changed jobs because the job you had was miserable and you answer yes, they'd say you quit your job due to mental health reasons.

I will agree that the government is doing a lot of things to demoralize young folks and remove incentive to work....if you give people enough free stuff that they don't need to work much, while at the same time taxing them so badly that working seems useless, its not surprising that many people opt to quit a [bleep] job. Working towards an achievable goal is what keeps people motivated and feeling like that have purpose. If someone can't see a real benefit to the work they are doing, they probably won't do it long.

A new generation of kids who were not tested and can't stand the pressure. None of them had to survive WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, great depressions. Every thing has been handed to them. I don't see this reversing. America is moving into just another scene from the Hunger Games. kwg

When were in our early 20's, my wife graduated from pharmacy school with her doctorate degree one weekend, we got married the next weekend, and then we bought a small house the next year (about half the price of what the bank would have loaned us). We had all her student loans paid off the following year, while still driving our older, used cars. We waited another year to start a family. She says some of the students she works with these days have nearly $100k in student loan debt as they approach graduation, and she does her best to advise them to keep their apartment and their old car until the loans are gone, then start upgrading things and enjoying the fruits of their labor. I wonder how many might actually do that.

Thought they could not find jobs
