paid to go to graduate school, start a practice, have four kids etc, etc. It's one reason that she never wants to get remarried, she doesn't want to be tied down to anything. I wouldn't trade my life for hers though, I love having a big family.

Is millennial more of a state of mind, or age bracket?

I hate to break it to you, but that is not the ultimate millenial. She is working and has a retirement plan. That is

If she has been working twenty years she’d be a little ahead of millennials?

I guess you're right, I know I'm considered a millenial (35), and she's four

She's sort of on the border between Gen X & Gen Y

well since she is 39 and can't retire till 50 at the earliest

Hmm I thought she only had to work 25 years to get her pension, didn't know

Calsters is 2% at 60, but you can retire at 50 if you have 30 years

Other than moving back in with dad, sounds like every baby boomer I know,

Why don’t your parents cut the cord?

it's just a dad and she probably takes care of him.

Assuming it is a fair trade living with her Dad, sounds like she is winning at life.

Yeah she's single should she be sitting at home knitting?

She doesn't help pay anything. She's probably hoping she'll get my parents house

Not a typical millenial. She has a job and a plan. Even if it is a poor plan.

If she's been teaching for 20 years, she's not a millennial at all. Too old.
