[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 815109, member: 2426"] I think at least part of that is waxing nostalgic. I remember in the 70s when I was under 10 years old listening to some people in their 50s discussing how the young adults in the 70s didn't understand the world. They surmised that the current (at the time) young adults believed that they should start out life with a nice and fully furnished house, nice cars, nice clothes, and no payments. They said that young people didn't understand that their parents and grandparents had worked their entire lives to get to the point that they were in, and had not started with everything nice and easy. They were talking about the decade before me. I am certain that people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s said the same things about young adults when I was in my 20s. We are saying the same things about young adults now. I would say it is likely that in 40 years, people who are currently in their 20s will say the same thing about they young adults then. The same things have been happening for at least 50 years, it just isn't obvious to us that we are now on the other side of the rotation. [/QUOTE]
