Devising an alternative plan B or C may be the only way to live a relatively contented life anymore for most Millennials. Giving up on the old aspirations of the Baby-Boomers, like home ownership and large families, and recognizing the very real constraints that make these things impossible for many of us is definitely a start.

Personally, I have never cared much for the traditional hallmarks of adulthood, but I've still been extremely disappointed professionally.

Lowering expectations is the only way we have now to not go insane or feel constantly bummed out. Live within whatever means you have and try to be happy. That's all we can do I guess. Thanks for the comment!
