Millennials are bucking trends, becoming an increasingly progressive voting bloc and rewriting the long-held rules of politics, writes Isabella Higgins.

I mean I don't have a lower standard of living than my parents sorta but they had seven kids and I have none and still they owned a massive house on a massive lot and I own a condo. They also paid theirs off and point a little plot that I think they hoped to make a weekend getaway thing but never got to the point of being able to do that. I mean I won computers and such but honestly thats not so much standard of living as the march of technology..

    i think it's reasonable to include those things in standard of living. their standard afforded them the choice to do those things, so if you don't feel like you are afforded those same choices while living at a similar level of comfort then imo the standard has decreased.

    well I talked about big things. I can buy better food which is not just a matter of it being available. Like pasture raised eggs and there are a few other day to days were we don't have to go with the absolute cheapest or generic. although in the last year much of that I have had to drop.
