After prayer, you don’t know me and you don’t know where I am from. I am just now finishing my Master’s degree because I had to raise five children and a wife with multiple bouts of cancer. You can do ANYTHING if you learn how to delay gratification.
But our modern world doesn’t want to, and the people you are talking about vote for politicians who promise them they won’t have to wait. But go ahead, blame the boomers who actually did work and produce and make the things that everyone wants.
And maybe you can be the cheerleader for the millennials as they burn it all down. They will wait to eat you last.
What I can see now is you just have a stick up your ass about millennials. I see young people working as hard as we did every day. Are you under the impression that no one under 60 works or builds or produces anything? The difference is that when they go to look for a house, there’s none to buy, or the average cost is at a historic high. I see young guys with 4, 5 deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan under their belts, mentally and physically shattered. At least they’re not being pelted with garbage like the guys coming back from Vietnam but they haven’t had a lazy time of it either.
Anyway, I thank the heavens above I never had children in their crazy world, but who raised these millennials anyway? Or didn’t raise them, I should say. The single thing I do emphatically blame boomers for is thinking that “free childcare” was ever actually free.
Agree. The majority of youth today want extended “playtime” into their 30’s or later. It disgusts me. Getting married, raising a family, providing a home for a family, is all too much sacrifice and effort and would interfere with the carefree life of a teenager they want to live for another 10 or 20 years past their teen years. Soft and weak.
Hard times make hard men.
Hard men make prosperous times.
Prosperous times make weak men.
Weak men make hard times.
