A case of the "Aging Millennial."

A senior editor over at Hello Giggles wrote a very interesting piece about the "Aging Millennial." While at first I was a little annoyed about my age group being referred to as "aging millennial" (I was born in 1982), I read into her commentary further, and it surprisingly made sense.

You might be wondering what I mean when I say "aging millennial." Well, as it pertains to this specific story, an "aging millennial" is anyone who was born between 1982 and 1989.

In the commentary, we are the group who isn't represented on any TV show. We cannot relate to 99% of the shows currently out there. We know some about technology, but we aren't tech-savvy like the younger millennials and post-millennials.

According to the article, the "aging millennial" generation is "lazy and entitled." We live in our parents' basement, and freeload to our heart's desire.
In reality, a good amount of "aging millennials" work decent jobs and live on their own.
Oh, and we pay our taxes too (*gasp!* I bet you naysaying older folks didn't think we could do that!).

Anyway, the whole point of the commentary is that our group doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the millennials, because we know what life was like before we became technology's b*tch.

Should the "aging millennial" be a sub-group in the millennial category? I think if it were stated differently (I don't like being known as an aging anything. I'm turning 34 this year, not 74), I wouldn't be opposed to being a part of a sub-group.

What about "Senior Millennials?" Can all of my fellow "Senior Millennials" get on board with that?

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
