Maybe it’s time for me to finally sell my reddit shares.

Definitely discuss that with someone more experienced in this area than I.

Eh, I don’t own enough shares to bankrupt or enrich me, if I do the wrong or the right thing. But I was able to buy pre-IPO at $34 a share, and it’s currently at $160 a share. So I could make a nice little profit for absolutely zero work if I hit the sell button.

Psychological and Social Predictors of Poverty: Differences Between Lesbian and Bisexual Women
https://www.whijournal.com/article/S1049-3867(24)00103-8/fulltext
Results
Table 1 shows that bisexual women were considerably more likely to be in poverty (53.68%) than lesbians (40.82%). Lesbians were on average older (M = 34.53) and more variable (SD = 15.74) in age than bisexual women (M = 26.62, SD = 8.63). Latinx/Hispanic representation was similar across lesbian and bisexual women; however, bisexual women were slightly more likely to identify as white and lesbians slightly more likely to identify as Black. Lesbians were more likely to have education beyond high school (61.15%) than bisexual women (52.40%). Approximately one-third of both groups of women reported being single, and bisexual women were much more likely to have a cisgender man (58.67%) than a woman or TNB person (7.67%) as a partner. Approximately one-quarter of both groups of women had children; however, bisexual women were more likely to have children younger than 18 in the household (20.27% vs. 12.72% for lesbians). Lesbians (78.41%) were much more likely to be out to their coworkers than bisexual women (44.94%) and were more likely to have masculine than feminine gender presentation. Although the two groups of women reported similar levels of felt stigma and internalized homophobia, bisexual women reported higher levels of everyday discrimination and psychological distress.

Maybe this is true for some people. I know a couple friends who actually have nice houses, are raising children, go on vacations, etc. Meanwhile, this Millennial is all:
(Except I’m actually in my 40s, so it’s even worse)

One thing I’ve noticed is a lot gets elided. My parents had wild swings of fortune during this era. They lost a lot of money and frankly didn’t do that well. You can say “personal responsibility” just like with my own generation. But medical issues, poor elder care options, recessions, poor healthcare, lack of education, lack of mental health support, and dysfunctional mental health support often manifest as addictions either to substances or other copes that don’t get you a nice home or snowmobiles. And plenty of us had parents who just bought things they couldn’t afford and wrecked their credit etc
Frankly I think the differences are overstated. I’m actually doing better financially than my parents despite a rockier employment situation but only because I refused to have a kid if I couldn’t provide a good stable home for it. Also my parents made it easy by being self-destructive.
