Q: How many Millennials does it take to change a light bulb?

A: One. He holds it in place and waits for the world to revolve around him.

I tease Millennials, but they've surely changed the business model of most every company. They want everything on their couch today! Amazon...Uber...Skip the Dishes...etc...all instant gratification.

But the guy who invented 'Assemble Yourself' should be drawn and quartered. Remember when the employees would come to your place and assemble it for you?

I know...I know...it's timeless. Every generation teases the next generation. Apologies if a thread like this has already been done. I'm new to these parts.
 

There was a previous discussion about Millennials, but it is always great to cover topics again and hear new perspectives. Glad you are here!

My partner is a Gen X'er like you at 58 y/o. I rarely hear jokes about Gen X'ers. You guys made it through pretty unscathed. ;)
 
Yes. I'm Gen X raising Gen Z.

That's an astute point...not too many Gen X teasing going on...more the teasing of the Boomers.
 
Many of my clients are millennials. I love them, with or without beards. They are hardworking, socially conscious, not interested in accumulating a lot of stuff. They eat well, exercise regularly, vote often. Very independent. They certainly are no worse than any other generation. As for them being entitled, that has not been my experience. They strive to better themselves emotionally as well, many embrace a rich spirituality. This is the first generation of men who do not struggle with reaching out for counselling.

I agree with all the points you made in this post, and I agree the last sentence is a good thing, BUT it has gone waaay too far... I mean if a person needs help with a problem, it's good that help is available and more people feel able to reach out, but there's no freakin' end to it...
People are pressured to believe there's something wrong with everything and everybody, that they should never be satisfied, and while I'd recently read young people are often pressured to believe they cannot enter their own young-adult lives without professional help, it's hit older people too! A post I just read from a new member left me absolutely stunned. It doesn't make any sense.
