Every generation always thinks the younger generation are degenerates that have it much better.
As many others have posted in this thread, imho us Boomers had it much better than Canadians born after 1990.
So many less boundaries on what to do with our free time in our school years, and a decent job pretty much guaranteed after getting even a basic college degree.
No internet, so we were forced to develop social skills in person rather than on-line. So important in business, and everyday interactions with other humans.
Even dating was easier, as we usually met our partners at school, at dances, or even "blind dating", which is now a thing of the past. A good looking photo was not the prime criteria in finding someone willing to date you, before dating apps became the norm. Condoms were not the norm until AIDS came along in the very early 1980's, so many years of full-sensation sex.
Houses were affordable if you had even a "middle class" job.
And no imminent threat of AI destroying our livelihoods, and chances of getting entry and mid-level jobs.
Plus, we got to enjoy the evolution of modern popular music from Elvis and Little Richard all the way up to what is popular today, although I must admit I pretty much stopped listening to new music, with a few exceptions, after 1995.
I see my children's struggles to earn a proper living, even in their 30's. They will probably always be renters. Their lives seem to have so much more stress than mine ever did, despite my helping them financially as much as I can.
