I'm not arguing that my life is tougher than your. I have no debt, i'm very
frugal and I have a good job. Already paid my house off and i'm still relatively young. Not a huge house, but not tiny either. My car runs well, but is a pretty big piece of crap if I'm being honest. I could afford a better one, but i'll probably wait until this one breaks down and put more money in stocks.

The thing is my life hasn't been super hard, I imagine in most ways my generation has had it easier than yours.

But here is the thing one way your generation had it way easier was cost of college. And pretending that you paying off college is comparable to paying off college today is laughable. I think many in my generation are very entitled in many ways. I think they should make better choices about which college to attend, what to study, and what loans to take out. I don't believe in bailouts.

I also don't believe that people should act like paying 4x as much for school with lower wages is equivalent to their experience 40 years ago.
