"We all got hurt in some way by the GFC." Worth noting that the GFC was one of the best times in history to buy stocks. I'd be in a terrible situation right now if it wasn't for the GFC: I bought some brand name stocks (supermarkets, mining, banking) at huge discounts. One of them more than tripled in price in 5 years and is still throwing off a 20% cash dividend every year. Don't give up. You never know when a Black Swan event might swing things in a way that benefits you. And Millennials have so much online access to education about stock market trading, E-Trade, online banking, and new things like crowdfunding that just weren't around before. It's not easy for Millennials, but there's a lot of amazing opportunities that other generations would be jealous of.
