You can disagree as hard as you can, but didagreeing hardly does not make you any less rude nor correct.

You really don't. They posted the data they chose to make public, you have no right to question what you questioned. It is none of your business if they contribute or not to their parents or if they are wealthy, let alone in the hostile way you did it.

Well the language you chose is hostile, I stand by my critique of your response. You have no right to question people the way you did just because you have it harder.

I have my children at home while they go to uni and I am encouraging them to not leave until they have a stable income and have saved for their down payment to ensure housing. I really see no need to send them out to the world to struggle when they have a house and we can suppor them as much as we can. We don't ask them to contribute to the house, our priority is that they save as much as possible while they can. The day they decide to leave, hopefully they will do it with resources to provide for themselves. Though it is a cultural thing in large part, in my culture children are not expected to leave the parents house a certain age, so for us is absolutely normal having our children home and hopefully for them the benefits of staying home outweight the social pressure to leave when they are not ready yet.

Do you realize the post clearly says "of A millennial" meaning it is specific to only one person not respresentative to a population? In this scenario, the author does not owe any explanations to you about their housing or family situation. Your questioning is hostile. What do you care if their parents are wealthy? Do you go around asking individuals of they are wealthy or how much they contribute to their parents?
It certainly is unfortutante that many people do not have this option, but the post does not seem intended to ilustrate a situation at population level, it is just about one person. Why is it shitty that they made this post? why is it a problem that not everyone has to struggle? are you bitter about every person who is in a better position than you?
I have news for you, in a lot of cultures, including mine, people do not have to leave their parents house, I mean they are not expected to leave, they can stay as long as they want, and we parents encourage our children to stay as long as they can so they can take advantage of having a roof and food while they are trying to build their life. It is not uncommon for people to live with their parents, even while earning a good income, and the reason goes beyond financial reasons, some times is even about company and taking care of your parents if they need that. If you marry you leave, if you don't marry you can leave or you can stay, hell sometimes if you marry you can bring your spouse (this is not ideal, but it happens a lot and no one judges that). People do not have to be wealthy to support their children like this. It is a cultural thing, more than a reflection of wealth, so your questioning is very inappropiate.
