About those underemployed millennials - [View all]

there is a matching flip side to this problem - in real terms, too many of their parents are making the same as or less than they were paid 30 years ago!

My husband makes good money compared to most. He's gotten raises every year he's worked. But, looking back - those raises were equal to or less than inflation rates - so he's really right where he started! We're still ahead of most because so many have had to take lower paying jobs!

This isn't a competition - it breaks my heart that I can't be of more assistance to my millennial children!
