Millennials have survived two recessions, a pandemic and countless market crashes. Now comes AI.
Millennials really picked an interesting time to be alive.
9/11, the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, COVID-19, record inflation, a housing affordability crisis, and now AI threatening to reshape the job market.
For a generation that was told to study hard, get a good job and buy a house, the economic timeline hasn't exactly gone according to plan.
Many entered the workforce during or shortly after the Great Recession, spent years dealing with stagnant wages and rising housing costs, then watched another economic shock unfold during the pandemic.
Now they're navigating an AI boom that could transform the careers they've spent the past decade building.
And somehow, retirement is still supposed to be the easy part.
At least the portfolio has character development.
