Unmastachian Qualities:
- Moves to a high COL for a minimum wage job
-$1245 Rent.  Does she have roommates?
-T-Mobile Bill.  Sorry but this is a luxury
-Her instagram account shows the typical mass consumption-ism contrary what she posts on her instagram account. 
-Blaming the CEO who created co-founded his own company has the right to pay himself whatever he is worth. 

At the same time I do feel we millennial have been dealt a shitty hand compared to that of the previous generations.  The previous generation faced lower COL, had higher wages, lower student debt and so forth.  In the past people learned a trade and were able to afford a middle class life that consisted of eating out a few times a week, yearly vacations, a single family home, a car and etc.  Today our generation has to go in debt to "afford" these things.

In short, I feel conflicted on the story.   I think we millenials are screwed compared to the older generation but at the same time I am against blaming others for your own issues.  Personally I am able to afford my own place, went to school debt free, have amassed a decent net wealth by working hard and not falling prey to the mass consumerism that is rampant and so forth.
