I'm not infantilising us. I'm pointing out why I think the media infantilises us. Most of the millenials I know are more mature and more media literate than all of the boomers I've known. Home ownership and child rearing rates are lower than previous generations. Most of my mates who have had kids only did it with family support. That wasn't the case in the 80s and 90s. The ones who have mortgages probably won't pay them off before they die.

I'm saying the media is infantilising us by calling us young, we're not, I'm turning 40 this year, the youngest of us is 30, if that's young it's news to me

The ones who have mortgages probably won’t pay them off before they die

I mean I have a mortgage, it'll be paid off in a year or 2
