[quote=flyer]Yes, BG, I have posted the points you made above, and, yes, those are the facts, but the purpose of my recent post was to illustrate the point that, as Millennials like to point out regarding their options in life, many of us, as Boomers, were also in a position to choose how we lived our lives–in direct opposition to common myths floating around about our generation.

Flyer, seems like you have had a great life so far and one that I am personally trying to achieve. Regarding your statement above regarding “options in life” I don’t think us Millennials feel that we have more options per se, but instead more open to the idea of flexibility in our current jobs thanks to technology and the way we think. If using the 80’s as an example, someone in finance such as myself would be required to work in the office during a set time and others would view working remotely or leaving early and logging in later negatively. I think my generation is significantly more understanding and open to this idea as our ideas of work has shifted. A lot of old timers don’t understand this new work environment (my father included), and for some reason equates this to leaving work early to less productivity. Our generation would instead look at this much more positively as we really dislike micromanaging, and value a positive work/life balance.
