I don't think Millennials will ever reach the same level of financial security that boomers had. It feels like I'm always treading water, only barely able to get by. I never have money to go on vacation, eat out, or buy a car. Everything is so expensive that I'm lucky if I don't go deeper into debt by the end of the month.

I wanna become an alcoholic but I can't afford that with my ~$100k salary.
