I’ve always lived in older apartments because I hate open floor plans so much. In addition to your reasons, I like being able to paint rooms different colors and decorate with little more eclectic style since it doesn’t all have to match like it would in an open floor plan.

Maybe it’s an introvert-extrovert thing? Sometimes I just need the peace of mind that comes from knowing I am existing alone in a defined space for a little while

Yea, I also feel like people who want an open space “so the whole family can be together” don’t realize how annoying their family really is.

Hate open floor plans with a passion. Primarily because I was raised by people on a tiiiiiight budget in an old house and heating was an issue. My parents were serious about closing doors to keep the heat in and while you’re at it, turn off the light do you think money grows on trees?!

yeah, my house, built in 1942 is cozy little rooms and I love it.

Stainless and granite is going to be the “harvest gold appliances and shag carpeting” of our generation. Even episodes of shows that are only a few years old already look reaaaallllyyy dated.

Saw this elsewhere:

I am with you - open floor plans suck. They’re noisy, and they won’t let you hide your clutter. You also can’t escape your partner, roomie, or kids when you desperately need to. This is also why I think the current fad for tiny houses is stupid and unlivable in the long term.

Am I the only person in America who isn’t enamored with open floor plans? I am all about a house having good flow, but it seems weird to me to be able to see the entirety of your main floor no matter what. Does no one ever want to watch TV or read a book without hearing the dishwasher running or kids getting food?

Meanwhile their Boomer parents are hanging on to their jobs longer/ not retiring because they didn’t plan for it and then promoting millennial kids into upper management positions that Xers have been waiting to be vacated by those Boomers. I’m so fed up with the fucking Boomers.

I’m not so old my parents weren’t born until the end of WW2 but I’m not a millennial, I don’t think my age group have a cool & frooby name, I’m a smidgen too early for Reality Bites & smidgen too late for Breakfast Club. When I left high school unemployment in my country for school leavers was sitting at something…

And I’ve said as much elsewhere, but it’s not really fair to blame millennials for not being able to do basic adult things when (1) our parents didn’t teach us and (2) schools mostly don’t offer practical life skills classes anymore.

If you look at the larger age breakdown, your generation still voted for him at a much greater rate than ours did. And if we’re defining Gen X as born in the 60s and 70s (which afaik is the prevailing usage?), 45 is still well within Gen X.

as an X-er who’s experienced everything that millennial listed for only millennials, seriously no.

His point was that millennials are hurting more than people from other generations. Their college degrees mean nothing, the amount of debt they hold is insane, there are no well-paying jobs like there were after World War II, and that people in my generation (X) had, and have, it easy.

No, it wasn’t. The generation who elected Trump were those 45 and older—not those of us in Generation X. (Source: The Atlantic)

Honestly I can’t hate on that. I’m 30 and the only person in my peer group with an actual budget. I had financially responsible parents who taught me the importance of managing my money and how to maintain good credit, my friends did not. It blows my mind some of the shit they “learned” from their parents, like you…

I wish I could be one of those millenials who could afford to have a niche interest but instead I’m buried under so much student debt, I’ll be paying it off until 10 years after I’m dead (I did the math!). Instead, the most luxurious thing I did this week was buy a dusty bottle of Yellowtail from the gas station by my…

The thing is.....generations are big, big groups of people and both of those can be true. In this individual’s anecdata, for every annoying acquaintance I know in the former ‘how does adult’ camp, I know a lot that are smart, hardworking people with advanced degrees, struggling to find meaningful jobs. (Not…

I’m kind of in between generations and it’s laughable to think that millennials have had it particularly harder than any other generation. Education is indeed the most ridiculous thing and it’s absurd that such a price has been put on it but let’s not kid ourselves, neither generation had it easy and it’s a bullshit…
