I think it has something to do with the current economy, and needing to "grow up fast". Young people are forced to reach maturity level faster
Boomers were out of the house at 16 and 17, both moving away from family to figure shit out on their own…. The Greatest Generation were fighting World Wars and having kids…. My Teens are playing Fortnite behind expensive computers while chatting online with friends…

This is the dumbest statement so far. Boomers and before we're much more independent, reliable, and mature at a much earlier age than the spoiled, self entitled ones that came after.

Explain the relation between prices of real estate, groceries, expenses, etc in 2026 versus salaries in 2026. Then compare it to the economy boomers grew up in, and what their salaries were. In short, salaries stayed the same while inflation fucks the next generation up the ass.

I've been through many downturns in my life and didn't give up and go live in my parents basement and play video games. I took what ever job was available and worked my way up. That's called being self reliant and responsible. There are always ways to survive if your willing to put in the effort. Even during the great depression people were making money

This old fogey corrected your initial post so that it's understandable.


Most 20 somethings are so intelligent compared to 70 year old fogeys, how do they relate? lol

The way
these millennials and generation x think, they are like talking to robots. Why would old fogeys want talking robots? lol.

The paradox I often think about is that the older folks that constantly criticize and dismiss how the younger generations think and act, forget the following.

Our youths inherited what we made for them, and mostly the type of society they live in.

I will leave it hanging .

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.
