Yes, it's really pretty simple economics. But of course most of the people in this country don't have an education that allows them to grasp simple economics.

The answer to this problem is, as always, 240 Volvo. Bought one for $400 5 years ago and still driving it. My student loans are now paid off and I love not having a car payment. Sure I have wrenching skills, but still, I'm not the only one who can wrench on a 240. Swallow your pride and buy a fixer-upper 240. BTW, I…

When I was 18 years old in 1976 I was making 4.65/hr gas was 89 cents a gallon. Gas is now $4.xx a gallon how many 18 year olds are making $20/hr? Yes that's about right NONE! What a great society our politicians and bankers have made for us! One more thing a nice used 69 Z/28 Camaro was $3-3500.

You make an excellent point, grandpa, if you still believe people can work their way up to a living wage from a crappy low-paying "entry" level job, in denial of the reality that most of those jobs lead nowhere. Perhaps you don't realize how crushigly expensive education has become, so that they don't have the luxury…

There will probably be a glut of slushbox Corvette convertibles and 1200lb Harleys in the future, anyway.

Yeah, and when they are finally retired and collecting social security, they will still be judging Millennials. But, on the bright side, I'll eventually purchase several nice vehicles that were originally bought by financially overextended Boomers.

Internships attract kids whose parents are paying for their living expenses, especially if they are unpaid. They are 'broke' but still have the parental safety net.

In Boston, I advertised a part time job 2 years ago for $10 an hour/no benefits and got almost a hundred applications. Several from people who had a master's.

1-i dont buy clothes, i make the ones i do have last as long as possible, my mom and spouse buy me bargain clothes when they come across them, and they are cheap, good looking clothes.

My god you are a bitter old man

This is fucking bull shit, so go fuck yourself. I don't own a pair of jeans that were ever worth over $40. I don't drink. The only kind of job I can take is minimum wage so that's what I will take. Sincerely a millennial. I don't live in Canada either.

It's worth mentioning that even the high-end tablets and smartphones are thousands of pounds less expensive than even the cheapest new car, as are most designer shoes and clothes.

Would it surprise you that designer clothes can come from Goodwill? That's right, someone had to donate that stuff and guess who bought it and is now wearing $200 dollar jeans which I paid ten bucks for. The iPad is an investment in future work.

Designer jeans are necessary for getting work. iPhones and iPads are…

1. Hell no.

So much ignorance in this statement.

I'm with MrCoppage on this one. I don't wear expensive clothes, I don't drink or really have any sort of fun with how busy I am, and I worked a mix of minimum wage and 9-10 dollar jobs often two at a time until I finally got a job in my field. None of those facts stopped me from experiencing homelessness and bus…

Wow, generalize much? Have you required your out-of-college young employees to take a written test or some other to prove that they're the ones footing the bill for most of this? Most parents are supporting their kids post-school...even when they're employed. Mind you, we also (because, yes, I'm 25) received those…

+1,000,000. My student loan payments are $300 more a month than my mortgage.

Am I the only one who wants to punch Dave Rodham in the face? Oh, you bought two mustangs because they sound and look cool? Cool story, bro. Please come check out my mountain of student debt and enjoy that social security I'll never have.
