Through hard work all three of them were able to graduate university with no debt. Two own their own property before the age of 25.

Meanwhile, most of their friends still live at home rent free with very little responsibilities. I understand most of their parents pay for their cars and provide weekly allowances. Most remain unemployed. Perhaps it is their sense of entitlement that keeps them jobless. This is my picture when I think of millenials.
Well, I counter argue that todays economy, plus lack of folks hiring in the job market today contributes to many millennials still living at home with their parents. It's not necessarily their fault they can't get hired.
