Millennials?
Again, all I have is my experience - my own kids and their friends. Even the wealthy ones (and not the ones in my family, I can assure you) are not entitled. Sure, they don't have as much to worry about, but they are out there working. Maybe it's unpaid internships, which their wealth permits. But some are in non-profits, some are scrabbling around looking for work, and some have decent enough jobs. Overall, though, my impression is that they are working their asses off and under a lot of stress. So, no, they don't feel entitled and they don't act entitled.
And the boomers? Rather than tar that entire generation with a broad brush, let's categorize differently and tar more accurately. It's the 1% who are the problem.
Okay, mini rant over.
