    Says the baby boomer who had everything handed to them then burnt the ladder down so the next generation can't climb it, then refuse to retire so the next generation can get a decent job?

    That's fine until your wife cheats on you and your kids don't even know you because you're gone all the time. To each their own I guess.
    Very funny how boomers fail to see how much harder it is for this generation. My uncle had his own company and built his own house by 18. My dad had so much work for his company he never advertised. Grandfather had a million in the bank. I'm not saying they didn't work for it but it was feasible. Today its significantly harder to do any of those things. More regulations, lower lay, more education expected to make a living wage. So sorry if I don't agree with you thinking kids are lazy. You'd say f it too if you busted your butt to get crap.

    The biggest thing going against the young ones today is their victim mentality. It's hard to be successful when you are always looking for excuses.

    I've said it before. If you're out for five days in a row is 120 hours of work to me. So if you make $900 for the week that's minimum wage. Who in their right mind thinks that's a good deal?
     
    Dumdriver Thanks this.

    Yeah... Ignore all of the facts and just say they're lazy... So you're saying I can buy a house off of one or two years of average salary? No I can't, not like previous year generations have been able to. Everything is more expensive and wages haven't gone up. You're expected to get a college degree to make $13/hr.
     
    Toomanybikes Thanks this.
