I only call myself old because I'm depressed by how little I've accomplished compared to what I wanted to do by this point in my life. I know I'm not really old though so I avoid saying it to other people.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, you're younger than me, according to your profile.

[sarillia]

Yeah, sorry, I'm younger than a lot of people here.

[(Anonymous)]

I think that's why a lot of twenty somethings call themselves old, it's not that they feel really, truly old, but that they have this imaginary checklist that they need to fulfill, and the reality of being an adult starts settling in.

It doesn't help that (in the case where I'm from) our parental generation had an easier transition into adulthood, more affordable housing and higher education wasn't as required where as this generation of twenty somethings is typically in debt and can't afford much of anything and have an absolutely horrible job market to contend with.

[(Anonymous)]

Can't speak to where you're from, but I hear this so much and it is BS overall. I started my working life in 1983 (after a six month job hunt having left one of the best universities in the world) sharing a room in a hostel. The idea horrifies my son.

24, one year and a half out of college, still unemployed, still living with my parents. Not an isolate case, either, all my friends my age are in the same situation.

Still living in a country where youth unemployment rates are at 60% kind of does that to you.

[(Anonymous)]

Your anecdotal evidence convinces me.

[(Anonymous)]

But you'll believe the original post full of purely anecdotal evidence about the situation of two people out of billions?

[(Anonymous)]

Trouble is that there's actual evidence to back up the original poster's claims, at least in regards to the US. And based on the timestamps, it looks like you purposely ignored that post.

[(Anonymous)]

It's BS overall because you personally didn't have it easier? Both my parents say they had it easier than I did, so there's some more anecdata for you. The facts are that in the aggregate, housing prices were lower, higher education more affordable and less necessary, health expenses lower... it goes on and on. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/07/25/why-kids-today-have-it-worse-than-their-parents/ Specifically mentions how rapidly things improved after the worst of it in 1983, unlike the recession we're still reeling from today.

You're a year younger than my brother, but I very much agree with this. I know a cool older woman through my (also younger!) friends, and the amount of shit she did at twenty pales to what we've done so far. I know some of that is out of our control, but it doesn't make it easy.

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty much this. I'm 26 and I see people much younger than me doing so much more than I have.

[(Anonymous)]

lol I just checked and we're the same age. you seem pretty mature and interesting for your age though (says someone who wishes she would wise up already)

[sarillia]

Haha, thanks.

I'm sure there are plenty of people rolling their eyes at me tonight but depression makes you think all kinds of embarrassing things.
