Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millennials are the media's favourites. We can't hold on to jobs. We aren't buying houses. We don't save for retirement. If we go to university, we're racking up debt-and if we don't, we're slackers and dropouts. Here's the thing: if we don't own or achieve the traditional trappings of "adulthood," it's because the baby boomers have ruined it for us. They own the affordable housing. They snagged all the decent pension plans and are staying in the job market longer. They're eating up state-run pension programs-and oh, yeah...they brought the economy to a crashing halt a few years back. So why would we want to "adult" like them? It's not as if their way worked out well. In The Millennial Renaissance, millennial and business entrepreneur Lucy Cohen offers millennials an alternative to the path taken by the boomers-an innovative and attainable approach to both living well and realistically planning for retirement. Nothing you've been taught about retirement planning applies anymore. You're going to have to forge your own path in a world with new financial and career expectations. Your parents might not like it. The media certainly won't. But we're millennials, and we walk our own path.
