If you are a millennial or generation Z, do you find it a lot harder to make more money or become successful?

Well, I born in 1988, so I’m a millennial, and it’s not a surprise that most of my connections are millennial as well. I quite often see people on social media or forum, complaining life is hard.

Living cost and housing prices are getting so unaffordable, yet their salary doesn’t increase much throughout the years.

Most millennials believe all the resources are skewed to the older generation, there are not enough opportunities. Some even use an analogy where the Millenials are forced to play a monopoly game that was already played for 3 hours, all the properties are purchased and there’s no way to win. If they don’t have rich parents then their life is pretty much screwed.

But, is that true?

Well, I don’t have an inspirational story to share, because I’m still working my way up. That being said, I have made some good progress in my journey.

If you ask me, I actually think it’s the opposite. There are more opportunities than ever to change our lives for good, as long as we keep our eyes open.
