[quote=Anonymous]13:39 -- I agree that historically, the U.S. has been a place that over time people have been able to work their way up the economic ladder through hard work and education. But I think we're slipping away from that. I worry that my generation (millenials) will see less economic mobility than prior generations due to a combination of increasing higher education costs and high rates of unemployment for recent grads. Also add in inflation for housing, groceries, healthcare, etc. Of course some people are lazy and will blame their lack of success on the system being rigged. But I also genuinely think it is harder to climb the SES ladder than it was for past generations. Income inequality is only getting worse in this country and I find it a little smug when older people can't imagine why 20 and early 30-something's find it hard to follow in their footsteps with the house, kids, savings etc.[/quote]
