    So because the generations before them made the wrong choice, they have as well?

    If my kids live with my my whole life I am A-OK with that.

      I’m not punishing younger generations, I’m saying that they’re even more screwed than previous generations, so they’ll still need to work hard… it just won’t get them any luxuries.

      If my kids live with my my whole life I am A-OK with that.

      You might be, but not everyone wants that, especially in homes where there is no separation (like no basement apartment). That could be a nightmare for both parents and the adult child.

        I think you’re agreeing with each other, except that no one in this thread actually thinks working hard will bring you anything in this day and age.

          I don’t think working hard these days will bring you anything except regrets later and life, and maybe put food on the table.
