[quote=flyer]Valid points, but regardless of who or what created the society we are now experiencing, here we are. It’s true that most of us Boomers took advantage of everything that was available to us to create the lives we wanted, but that was just a case of being born in the right place at the right time, with tremendous opportunities, and imo, any generation, whatever they were named, would have done the same, had they been born in that time period. Could things have been done differently?–most likely, but hindsight is always 20/20.
Bottom line is that playing the blame game isn’t going to change anyone’s life, and I hope Millennials and others, if they not happy with their lives, will be highly motivated to change what they don’t like, so they can live the lives they want to live.[/quote]
Flyer,
I believe we have. We continue to stress work/life balance so we can spend more time with people we care about (in contrast to letting our kids roam the streets), we care about our planet (because it will not last forever), and we believe in urbanization (because we hate long commutes).
