All I’m saying is that folks tend to reap what they sow. And considering that in this country the youngers support the elders through a transfer of wealth, the folks sticking us with all this debt just might want to keep that in mind.
The Great Depression?

That is one side of the story, the other side is, just look around and you will find plenty of gen x types already into their thirties and being supported by their parents. Some boomers are supporting their children AND their grandchildren!
I am pre-baby boom, I went straight into the Navy, I was signed up before I got my high school diploma. When I walked across the stage I was already on the payroll.
Young people who were not headed for college used to be expected to pull their own weight NO LATER than as soon as they finished high school. Most of those who lived with parents were working and contributing to family support. Most of those I know now seem to think they shouldn’t be expected to grow up before thirty five at the earliest. I know not all are that way but far too many are. We have not only extended the lifespan, we have doubled the age when we expect people to accept responsibility for their own lives.
