[quote=Anonymous]It's just the entitlement generation.  They've been raised given everything.  They happened to grow up at a time when their parents had money, "stuff" got cheaper, and luxurious living came to the masses.  Unlike previous generations, the houses their parents bought came with bedrooms with their own bathrooms, media rooms, gourmet kitchens, etc.  So this is what they grew up with and what they expect now.

They grew up watching reality shows were teens sit around in their California mansions, have their fancy cars and gadgets.

And just think about everything else.  Think about what a luxury purchase it was back 15 years ago to have a big screen TV.  Very few people could afford them.  So many things were like that in the pre-China era.  We take it all for granted now.

The difference here is that many of the baby boomers have the nice houses, cars, and other toys, but they worked for it.  They had good jobs and were able to afford them at the end of their working years.  But young people expect all of that from the start today.  There is no sense of sacrifice.  If sh*t hit the fan in this country with some catastrophic event, I'd really fear for the young people.  They have no survival skills, having been coddled their entire lives.  Thanks to the internet, cell phones, and constant sources of entertainment, they lack the ability to even be alone in their own thoughts.
