Any Millennials on DU?

[Raftergirl]

49. I'm a boomer parent of a 29 yr. old millennial.

He is on his 3rd company since graduating college in 2015, but each move was a step or two up from previous company. He is at a cybersecurity tech software company now, but in management not engineering. He earns around $200k a year, plus gets quarterly bonuses, stock and end of the year bonus. His company found and recruited him. Their initial offer wasn’t enough, in his opinion, so he asked for more and got it.

He is extremely motivated and a very hard worker. He has already gotten two promotions with the company he is with now and he’s been there less than 2 years. He can work from home or in the office and normally goes in a several days of the week. He likes going in. End of quarters and end of year are very busy and he puts in very long hours during those times. His goal is to eventually become a CEO of a corporation. He majored in Politics and minored in History at a liberal arts college (one of those colleges that offer majors that people believe graduates of can only get jobs at Starbucks.)

He is also financially savvy. Has accumulated quite a bit in retirement and other non retirement investments. He owns two homes already - a townhouse outside Boston and a condo in Boston. Condo had to be owner occupied for a year to get the tax break and so now will become a rental in August.

It’s very near BU so he won’t have a problem renting it. Should be able to get between $2500-$3000/month for it. It’s a one bedroom.


He is liberal, and has voted straight D since he’s been eligible to vote. Ditto for his gf. She has also had several jobs, each which was a step up and just got a masters, while working full time. They live together (are domestic partners) and together their income puts them solidly into the upper class. She is 28.

They hate guns and the gun culture and are big supporters of the new mayor of Boston. They both love Joe, too.
