I was anticipating replies from both sides and have no sorrow with that. Sure we live better than our parents as they did compared to their parents, and as did our grandparents compared to their parents ... that's just advances in civilization. I know lotsa kids that aren't doing well and it's for the most part not for lack of trying but because of facing a very stiff headwind. One of my points for this discussion is the fundamental skills, mindset, and what holds everything together right at the foundation is rapidly eroding away and it will come to a head at some point. Look at all the mighty civilizations in the past that you now only read about in the history books.
PS, Getting paid more no longer accounts for much with many of us ... we're retired with the bag of money we managed to accumulate and very little inflow. Ha!
