Publish Not your original work? Add source Every generation has its own idiosyncrasies. But since Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest living adult age group in the US, let's focus on them. Because generations are analytical constructs, it usually takes time for popular and expert consensus to develop their precise boundaries, but it has been widely accepted that Millennials are born between 1981 and 1996. These ladies and gentlemen have witnessed a massive shift in technology, the economy, and business throughout their lifetime, so they are generally good at accepting change. They're curious, value teamwork, and visit the library more than any other age group. But to paint you a more accurate picture of these folks, we at Bored Panda gathered a collection of tweets, where people single out all the things Millennials do and say that make them, well, Millennials. From texting "lol" to breaking out into a song when you're upset, continue scrolling to check out the entries and upvote the ones you agree with the most!

But now that the youngest Millennials are adults, we can take a look at how they compare with those who were their age in the generations that came before. Millennials, for example, are much better educated than their grandparents, as the share of young adults with a bachelor's degree or higher has steadily climbed since 1968. Around four-in-ten (39%) of those ages 25 to 37 have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with just 15% of the Silent Generation, roughly a quarter of Baby Boomers and about three-in-ten Gen Xers (29%) when they were the same age. #3 Arae2201 Report Final score: 88points POST Talitha Jansen Talitha Jansen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I'm angry about that too.

View more comments Boomer women surged into the workforce as young adults, setting the stage for more Gen X and Millennial females to follow suit. In 1966, when Silent Generation women were ages 22 through 37, a majority (58%) were not participating in the labor force (about 40% were employed). For Millennial women today, 72% have a job while just a quarter are not in the labor force. Boomer women were the turning point. As early as 1985, more young Boomer women were employed (66%) than were not in the labor force (28%). #6 ohhoe Report Final score: 82points POST Szirra Szirra Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago And taking the ladder out of the pool I will never have. 24 24points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Despite a reputation for job hopping, Millennial workers are just as likely to stick with their employers as Gen Xers were when they were the same age. Roughly seven-in-ten of each group ages 22 to 37 in 2018 (70%) reported working for their current employer for at least 13 months. (About three-in-ten of both groups said they'd been with their employer for at least five years.) However, it's worth mentioning that the economy varied for each generation. While the Great Recession affected Americans broadly, it created a particularly challenging environment for Millennials entering the job market. The unemployment rate was especially high for America's youngest adults in the years just after the recession, a reality that would impact Millennials' future earnings and wealth. #10 yeswecannabliss Report Final score: 70points POST Ranger Kanootsen Ranger Kanootsen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I'm a millennial, and I do it because I don't know how to end sentences :P 26 26points reply View More Replies...

View more comments The financial well-being of Millennials is complicated. While the individual earnings for young workers have remained mostly flat over the past 50 years, there's a notably large gap between what Millennials who have a college education make and the ones without it. Millennials with a bachelor's degree or more and a full-time job had median annual earnings valued at $56,000 in 2018, roughly equal to those of college-educated Generation X workers in 2001. But Millennials with some college or less had annual earnings lower than their counterparts in prior generations. #14 cat_elg Report Final score: 60points POST 2picklesinabun 2picklesinabun Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago So you get it then 4 4points reply View more comments #15 STlVENV Report Final score: 49points POST Sonja Sonja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago 'cause we've just found out about living with constant pain in knees/shoulders/back is a real struggle and that makes us suddenly feel very old. 33 33points reply View More Replies...

The median net worth of households headed by Millennials (ages 20 to 35 in 2016) was about $12,500 in 2016, compared with $20,700 for households headed by Boomers of the same age in 1983.

View more comments The difference in wealth can be partly attributed to differences in debt by generation. Compared with those who came earlier, more Millennials have outstanding student debt, and the amount of it they owe tends to be greater. In fact, the share of young adult households with any student debt doubled from 1998 (when Gen Xers were between 20 to 35) to 2016 (when Millennials were that age). In addition, the median amount of debt was nearly 50% greater for Millennials with outstanding student debt ($19,000) than for Gen X debt holders when they were young ($12,800). #22 punkbebe_ Report Final score: 34points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Bish, garlic is life!

They're more likely to live in their parents' homes and also more likely to be at home for long stretches. In 2018, 15% of Millennials (ages 25 to 37) were living with their folks. This is nearly double the share of early Boomers and Silents (8% each) and 6 percentage points higher than Gen Xers who did so when they were the same age. #26 nothinkerdummy Report Final score: 27points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Why do Gen Z speak in Tlk Tok vids? 72 72points reply View More Replies...

Even though their average income has increased 9.7% since 2020, rising costs for housing, food, and gas have increased their expenses by about 17%. Rental costs have become particularly expensive, with median monthly rents up 13.5% year over year in July. "This is a rough patch right now for millennials," said Redfin senior economist Sheharyar Bokhari. "But their long-term prospect is that they will be making more money as they get older, get into ownership and become the main force driving the economy." #30 waterthinker Report Final score: 26points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Oh, wow.

Because generations are analytical constructs, it usually takes time for popular and expert consensus to develop their precise boundaries, but it has been widely accepted that Millennials are born between 1981 and 1996. These ladies and gentlemen have witnessed a massive shift in technology, the economy, and business throughout their lifetime, so they are generally good at accepting change. They're curious, value teamwork, and visit the library more than any other age group. But to paint you a more accurate picture of these folks, we at Bored Panda gathered a collection of tweets, where people single out all the things Millennials do and say that make them, well, Millennials.

But now that the youngest Millennials are adults, we can take a look at how they compare with those who were their age in the generations that came before. Millennials, for example, are much better educated than their grandparents, as the share of young adults with a bachelor's degree or higher has steadily climbed since 1968. Around four-in-ten (39%) of those ages 25 to 37 have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with just 15% of the Silent Generation, roughly a quarter of Baby Boomers and about three-in-ten Gen Xers (29%) when they were the same age. #3 Arae2201 Report Final score: 88points POST Talitha Jansen Talitha Jansen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I'm angry about that too.

View more comments Boomer women surged into the workforce as young adults, setting the stage for more Gen X and Millennial females to follow suit. In 1966, when Silent Generation women were ages 22 through 37, a majority (58%) were not participating in the labor force (about 40% were employed). For Millennial women today, 72% have a job while just a quarter are not in the labor force. Boomer women were the turning point. As early as 1985, more young Boomer women were employed (66%) than were not in the labor force (28%). #6 ohhoe Report Final score: 82points POST Szirra Szirra Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago And taking the ladder out of the pool I will never have. 24 24points reply View More Replies...

View more comments Despite a reputation for job hopping, Millennial workers are just as likely to stick with their employers as Gen Xers were when they were the same age. Roughly seven-in-ten of each group ages 22 to 37 in 2018 (70%) reported working for their current employer for at least 13 months. (About three-in-ten of both groups said they'd been with their employer for at least five years.) However, it's worth mentioning that the economy varied for each generation. While the Great Recession affected Americans broadly, it created a particularly challenging environment for Millennials entering the job market. The unemployment rate was especially high for America's youngest adults in the years just after the recession, a reality that would impact Millennials' future earnings and wealth. #10 yeswecannabliss Report Final score: 70points POST Ranger Kanootsen Ranger Kanootsen Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I'm a millennial, and I do it because I don't know how to end sentences :P 26 26points reply View More Replies...

View more comments The financial well-being of Millennials is complicated. While the individual earnings for young workers have remained mostly flat over the past 50 years, there's a notably large gap between what Millennials who have a college education make and the ones without it. Millennials with a bachelor's degree or more and a full-time job had median annual earnings valued at $56,000 in 2018, roughly equal to those of college-educated Generation X workers in 2001. But Millennials with some college or less had annual earnings lower than their counterparts in prior generations. #14 cat_elg Report Final score: 60points POST 2picklesinabun 2picklesinabun Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago So you get it then 4 4points reply View more comments #15 STlVENV Report Final score: 49points POST Sonja Sonja Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago 'cause we've just found out about living with constant pain in knees/shoulders/back is a real struggle and that makes us suddenly feel very old. 33 33points reply View More Replies...

View more comments While young adults, in general, do not have much accumulated wealth, Millennials possess slightly less than Boomers did at the same age. The median net worth of households headed by Millennials (ages 20 to 35 in 2016) was about $12,500 in 2016, compared with $20,700 for households headed by Boomers of the same age in 1983.

View more comments The difference in wealth can be partly attributed to differences in debt by generation. Compared with those who came earlier, more Millennials have outstanding student debt, and the amount of it they owe tends to be greater. In fact, the share of young adult households with any student debt doubled from 1998 (when Gen Xers were between 20 to 35) to 2016 (when Millennials were that age). In addition, the median amount of debt was nearly 50% greater for Millennials with outstanding student debt ($19,000) than for Gen X debt holders when they were young ($12,800). #22 punkbebe_ Report Final score: 34points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Bish, garlic is life!

They're more likely to live in their parents' homes and also more likely to be at home for long stretches. In 2018, 15% of Millennials (ages 25 to 37) were living with their folks. This is nearly double the share of early Boomers and Silents (8% each) and 6 percentage points higher than Gen Xers who did so when they were the same age. #26 nothinkerdummy Report Final score: 27points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Why do Gen Z speak in Tlk Tok vids? 72 72points reply View More Replies...

Even though their average income has increased 9.7% since 2020, rising costs for housing, food, and gas have increased their expenses by about 17%. Rental costs have become particularly expensive, with median monthly rents up 13.5% year over year in July. "This is a rough patch right now for millennials," said Redfin senior economist Sheharyar Bokhari. "But their long-term prospect is that they will be making more money as they get older, get into ownership and become the main force driving the economy." #30 waterthinker Report Final score: 26points POST Mama Penguin Mama Penguin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Oh, wow.
