"One park in the deep backwoods of Maine" to describe one of the most amazing pieces of perserved lands we've got hurt my soul lol

I know that millennials are in their 30s-40s. I am one. I wasnt suggesting otherwise.

In a perfect world, sure. But what happens more often is that fans will get angrier, hosts dig in more to their "everyones a baby and offended all the time" schtick (so original) and rile more people up. its the same method that the "news" uses. It gets ratings

Agreed. I was starved for Boston sport content when I was living out of state and started listening to felger and mazz for Murray, who was a classic cranky but funny Boston fanboy, until he became a caricature of himself with the "grumpy old man yells constantly about woke youths" character. Now I dislike him as much (maybe more at this point) than the other two.
I didnt mind Mazz as much as the other two tbh but mostly just tune into some guests (mostly just Gasper and Bedard for pats stuff) but its become just another outrage ratings grab so I quit listening.

Im a millennial. I agree with you. I was just noting that salaries of teachers with 20 years experience and (early) retirees wouldnt really skew that median too much since there arent that many millennials in either group quite yet. Even the oldest millennial who started right out of college att 22 would just hitting 20 years now. Although I definitely wasnt thinking early retiree meant 30s/40s, and Im sure youre right that there are way more tech/finance people who leave full time work than I considered. Now I'm curious the % of people in their 30s/40s who were able to do so.
Either way, I agree that its hard to lump everyone in/generalize, particularly when it comes to familial wealth, etc.

All very true, however, it looks like this post is specific to millennials so, retirees and teachers with 20 years of experience arent really relevant (although getting close).
x 10 for your point on family wealth. Lately, I feel like that is almost always the missing piece to my "how are people affording this?" confusion

That would be cool in theory. I love soccer and would go to the games. But living close by and experiencing the traffic around there makes me very scared lol

Massachusetts it’s pretty mild of the pack at this point in state tax burden, so I’m not sure what you’re referencing.

Wouldnt say MA doesnt want it, but MA doesnt rely on it as much as say, Maine.
