How mad to think we were the last generation to grow up without the Internet and mobile phones.I'm also an 80s baby and sadly my mother had no financial sense whatsoever so I guess I'm doomed! It was nice to grow up without the Internet, tho...
Totally. It is so depressing to see news about ‘23 years old young couple having no takeaway for 5 years, saved 30k to buy a new build’.I find it funny that people who get the bus for free (outside of London) have no clue how expensive it is. Like I ain't paying £6 for a return into town, I'm not made of money! I knew someone that had to pay £16 to sign on because it was two different bus services to get there. All to get £71 a week.
Quite depressing how many millennials and Gen X are obsessed with signing up to a lifetime of debt. And people think you're a failure if you don't. I speak as an old millennial who enjoyed my 20s living all over the world and traveling before buying a house. Had I been obsessed with living like someone in the developing world to save every penny then tying myself down with debt I would have missed out on so many amazing things.
Remember away messages?Born in 89! I miss MSN Messenger and the dramas that came with chatting to your mates on it after school.
Is that where you could customise them?Remember away messages?
Hahaha are you even on MSN if you don’t log in and out to seek attention hahahahaIs that where you could customise them?
I miss MSN so much. I spent all day with friends at school only to go home and chat to them all evening!
Or just nudge the guy you fancy continuously until he responds.Hahaha are you even on MSN if you don’t log in and out to seek attention hahahaha
I remember Facebook also had throw sheep or pokes.Or just nudge the guy you fancy continuously until he responds.
The poke feature on Facebook was definitely suggestive.I remember Facebook also had throw sheep or pokes.
Woah are you still considered a millennial?Born in 2000 and mostly am grateful to be born at a time where there has been a lot of progression in peoples rights but also sad we are living in a time where most people don’t talk anymore, and seem to care more about what people think about them on social media. I do love the internet for the fact it’s helped me make lifelong friends and has helped me learn so much more about things. However I do feel that nowadays it’s used for so much negativity which is hard to avoid.
I think I was the last generation to grow up without social media, I think I was 4 when Facebook was made but it wasn’t a massive thing until about 2008 onwards. I had a VCR until I was 11 and got my first phone at 13/14 and even then it was a very basic mobile. I worry a lot for the younger generations because they don’t have a chance to grow up now without social media unless they actively try and avoid it.
It used to have a superwall tooI remember Facebook also had throw sheep or pokes.
