Homeownership: The housing market was much more affordable for boomers than it is for millennials. Boomers were able to buy homes at a young age, while millennials are often struggling to save for a down payment.

Jobs: The job market was much more stable for boomers than it is for millennials. Boomers were able to find good-paying jobs with benefits, while millennials are often stuck in low-paying jobs.
