CMV: I think that the American Dream is dead for the next generation.

I'm 35. My parents had a much better life than me. I have student loan debt, my credit score is in the low 600's, I live in a one bedroom apartment in a bad part of town, and I have to constantly stress about paying my bills and having enough food. <br><br>I know the next generation has it much worse. They're going to have to pay off all of their parents' debt and deal with all of the problems that they've caused. They're also going to have to pay 3-4 times as much in student loans, and they're not going to have good paying jobs to pay them off. They're not going to be able to afford healthcare or a house. <br><br><br>I'm not saying it's impossible to succeed as a millennial, but it's much harder than when I was growing up. And I don't think it will get any easier.
