Painful truths
@tora @Ocean22 yea, the friendship thing seems to be an ongoing societal shift: http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/000312240607100301 .
@Ocean22 what are friends... oh wait
@Ocean22 millennials' rates of home ownership are a little lower than historical but basically the same and even rebounded last year in the U.S.: https://www.google.com/search?q=home+ownership+rates+by+generation . Given the housing crisis, I don't think the pessimism is warranted.
@jasondclinton As someone who is currently a NEET and got around 12k a year in my old job, I have a very good feeling I won't be getting a house of my own any time soon (ever)
@jasondclinton
12k would be nice
I work a part-time minimum wage job bc the job hunt is brutal
I have a feeling there aren't houses in either of our futures lel

"Animal Crossing is a wildly successful franchise because it fulfills the millennial fantasy of owning a house with a yard and having friends."
@Ocean22 Especially the "having friends" stuff
