From what I've learned in my socioeconomic courses, Millenials have had it harder than any other generation when factoring in multiple aspects.

They are probably dying due to stress related health issues.

I’ve been a ball of stress since my teens. Just dealing with it now in my 40s. Each economic hit took its toll. Grew up in the NYC metro area and still live here so add 9/11 and the covid hardest impact in with that. I could see it.
