Not All Millennials Are Lazy! This 34-Year-Old Already Memorized Half His Social Security Number

Millennials have been deemed the lazy and entitled generation, but there are a few exceptions. Sure, most of us are still living in our parent’s basement and would rather get another “meaningful” band tattoo then save up for rent, but go-getter Travis Horn is breaking the apathetic millennial stereotype. He’s still the wee age of 34 and already has half his social security number memorized!

The staff at the DMV were completely shocked when this beanie-wearing millennial did the unspeakable and proudly wrote down the first five digits of his social security number without hesitating. Unfortunately, he was not able to renew his license because he couldn’t remember the rest, but hey, baby steps! By the time he’s 40, I doubt he will still be holding up the line by asking “can I just skip this part?”

The fact that he dragged his ass out of bed so his mom could drive him to the DMV to begin with is an act of pure will power that most millennials can hardly muster.

As you can see, some millennials are trying really hard to be beneficial members of society who have their shit together. Gen-Z may tell us that skinny jeans are no longer cool and that we destroyed the ozone with all of our vaping, but this guy is different. He took ten minutes to memorize half his social security number when he could have been starting a podcast about bitcoin and IPAs.

Maybe think about hard-grinding young trail-blazers like Travis the next time you feel like opening your boomer mouth to say millennials have no work ethic! Doing the bare minimum is a lifestyle choice. It’s all about work-life balance, and by work we mean maintaining a YouTube channel and by life we mean constantly borrowing money from our parents.

Our generation gave you some of the most hardworking people to ever exist. AOC, Beyoncé, LeBron James… and this guy that memorized half his social security number! Put them all together and you have the work of an entire generation right there. So next time you want to call millennials lazy, just remember that some of us are going the extra mile, as long as that extra effort doesn’t interfere with brunch.
