It was a slow start to our 20s and as we waited for the economy to crawl off its knees, we’ve spent the following decade playing catch-up. It’s meant slower career progression, minimal savings, and in some cases, putting off getting married or having kids. I’ll be honest: right now it’s hard to know if I’ll ever own a place of my own but one in three of us never will.

And it’s not just about money – the wider impact of living with such uncertainty, financial anxiety and the feeling that we’re failing at adulting goes so much further – how many of us experienced burnout, imposter syndrome and anxiety at some point in our 20s?

And here we are again, at the start of another recession, supposedly bigger than ever before. But for us millennials, we’re still jaded by the last one and I, for one, am scared. Because while there’ll be very few winners, it’s predicted that millennials, in particular those from ethnic minorities, will be hit hardest.

Tellingly, two-thirds of us millennials have already seen our income drop. Another cruel blow being played out in a society most of us didn’t want – two-thirds of millennials voted to remain in the EU and Labour won the highest proportion of our votes in the 2019 election.
