This is a great list from what Beth Braverman calls “The Beaten Generation” looking at what’s happened since 2005:
- Their home equity has dropped 51%
- Their net worth is down 55%.
- Their student debt is up 19%.
- Unemployment for college grads is up 64%.
- Their income is down 4.5%
- 31% more are living with their parents.
- The birth rate is down 7.1%.
- 22% less think they’ll be able to retire by age 65.
And, we wonder why they’re pessimistic…
