Older generations are excellent sources of wisdom and information for younger people, but often their advice is unwelcome. We look at 18 outdated pieces of advice. Millennials are sick of hearing.
Work Hard, Play Later
Millennials grew up when their parents were often workaholics, and they saw the negative impact on their families. As a result, millennials place a high value on work-life balance. They want to have enough time to pursue their interests and spend time with their loved ones in addition to their work.
Buy a House
Millennials face several challenges, such as high housing costs and student loan debt, which can make it challenging to buy a home. The median home price in the United States is over $400,000, far out of reach for many millennials. This was not the case when Boomers were buying more affordable housing.
Get Married and Have Kids
Millennials value having the freedom to make their own choices about their lives. They may not want to get married or have kids and may feel pressured by society. Additionally, Millennials are facing several financial challenges, such as high housing costs and student loan debt. This can make it challenging to afford to get married and have kids.
Save for Retirement
Millennials are starting their careers later and facing several financial challenges, making saving for retirement difficult. Millennials are also more likely to be underpaid than previous generations.
Don’t Quit Your Job Without Another One Lined Up
Millennials are more likely to need more opportunities than previous generations. This can make it challenging to find a new job, especially if they quit. Millennials are more likely to value experiences and change than previous generations. They may be more willing to quit their job to pursue a new opportunity or to take a break from work.
Stay In Your Lane
Millennials grew up in a time of significant social and technological change. They are used to having access to information and being able to express their opinions. As a result, they may be more likely to resist being told what to do.
Don’t Air Your Dirty Laundry in Public

They are also more likely to be passionate about social justice issues. They may want to share their struggles to raise awareness of these issues and encourage others to take action.
Respect your Elders
Millennials grew up in a time of significant social and technological change. They are used to being treated equally, regardless of their age. Additionally, Millennials are more likely to be critical thinkers than previous generations. They are not afraid to question authority or to challenge the status quo.
Don’t Be So Lazy
Millennials are often stereotyped as being lazy and entitled. However, they are also the most educated generation in history, working hard to make a difference.
Dress for Success
Millennials have seen many traditional assumptions about work turn out to be false. For example, they have seen many people dress professionally and still need to advance in their careers. As a result, they may be less likely to believe that dressing for success is necessary.
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail
Millennials are more likely to view failure as a learning opportunity. They may also be more willing to take risks in their careers. They have also seen firsthand the negative consequences of failure, such as job loss, financial hardship, and social stigma. As a result, they may be more afraid to fail than previous generations.
Follow your Dreams
Millennials grew up in a time of significant social and technological change. They are used to being told they can do anything they set their minds to. As a result, they may feel a lot of pressure to choose a career they are passionate about, even if it is not realistic or achievable.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask For Help
Millennials are often taught to be self-sufficient and not burden others with their problems. As a result, they may be less likely to ask for help, even when they are struggling.
Be Grateful for What You Have
Millennials grew up in a time of significant social and technological change. They are used to being bombarded with images of success and perfection. As a result, they may feel a lot of pressure to succeed in all areas of their lives. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and dissatisfaction, even if they have much to be grateful for.
Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
Millennials grew up in a time of significant social and economic change. They saw their parents struggle during the Great Recession, and they faced many challenges themselves, such as student loan debt and high housing costs. As a result, they may be more serious about their work and lives than previous generations.
Enjoy your Youth
Millennials are more likely to be worried about the future than previous generations. They are concerned about climate change, economic inequality, and political instability. As a result, they may have difficulty enjoying the present moment.
Don’t Grow Up Too Fast
Millennials face several challenges, such as student loan debt, high housing costs, and a competitive job market. As a result, they may feel like they need to grow up quickly to succeed.
Make the Most of Every Day
Millennials may feel guilty about not making the most of every day, especially when struggling to meet their basic needs. This can lead to a cycle of guilt and self-loathing, making it even more challenging to enjoy life.
Of course, not all millennials dislike all of these pieces of advice. However, these are some of the most common pieces of advice that millennials are told that they may not like.
