In general, recessive generations (reactive/nomad and artist/adaptive) get overlooked and get the raw end of the deal as far as history is concerned, but they have one huge advantage over dominant (idealist/prophet and civic/hero) generations in one crucial respect: settling down and starting a family. 1T and 3T are great periods to set hitched, get a house and start a family. 2T not so much, and 4T?....forget it.
For millennials, even those of us in the middle wave have been feeling this pressure for awhile. "No, not yet. I'm not financially secure enough to start a family. I need to save up more first". All our shortcomings aside, we're a fairly responsible generation on the whole and want to wait to have children until we know they can have adequate provisions. In the quieter times of the unraveling or the high, this would have been an easier task to accomplish, but in the throes of a 4T, it feels Herculean.
