Very well said, CA R!

I think it’s because they feel duped. They (and many/most of us on this site) were told that if they studied and worked hard, their lives would be equal to or better than their parents’. That was the meme for generations.
They (and many of us?) are coming to the conclusion that the stable jobs, defined-benefit pension plans, readily-available healthcare/insurance, etc. will not be available as promised to them. They seem to feel as if those who came before them left behind a barren world where the younger generations will have to work to pay off the debts incurred by the lavish lifestyles of those who came before them…and the younger generations will not have the financial security nor the “middle class lifestyle” enjoyed by the older generations.
While some may consider this an “entitled” mentality, I think they have a point.[/quote]
