I appreciate the re-post of this article. I missed it last year. It's true - all of it! I would like to offer a strategic wrinkle. Rather than fall on the grenade for the sake of what the Millennials will inherit, I suggest a collective pact with Gen Z...that X'ers just end-around the Millenials and lock arms with Gen Z (also a massive sized generation) and guide them out of their coddled existence. While it's anecdotal, I've found that Z tends to receive instruction and are willing to be led and grow/change, while the mass majority of Millenials seem to know everything already. While I know and respect a solid block of Millenials, nearly 80% of them are insufferable. Also...I keep wondering...what will it take to get boomers to move aside? They're unhelpful at the point. I genuinely believe many of them COULD be helpful if they would age gracefully and enter the "sage" stage of life.
