And there are plenty of people who try to understand the problems facing younger folks rather than talking **** about them and assuming they’re just whining. It’s not “natural” for everyone, just for people who suck

Oh, and their problems are so much bigger than mine... or my father's... or his father's... gmafb

Can I ask how old you are ?

Every generation has faced problems, and the problems my parents faced were a hell of a lot more serious than the ones I faced, and so down the line. Life has gotten easier through the generations.

Truthfully we don't have real problems in this country.

I can’t wait to tell our young friend that my grandfather the one that ( fought in the Ardennes forest ) would laugh at my dad when he complained about how hard his life was . I think our young friend just needs perspective on why our parents and grandparents lives were different than ours .

My grandparents were born in the 1880's and 1890's. My parents were born in 1909 and 1914. My life has been a f***ing cakewalk compared to theirs.

Back in the early 2000s, I started flying international. Europe in particular. It was winter, and it was 3 months before I ever saw the ground when in the descent phase of the flight. And it was cold. The very definition of 'bone chilling' cold. I remember thinking how bad it sucked walking to the heated crew van. Then I thought about those men that spent month after month out in that same cold. Fighting for their very lives. THAT was hardship.

There are not many of those men left. Thank them when you see them. I do.

Young people as a whole in this country today are pussies by comparison. Convince me otherwise.

Few younger folks face any real problems. Face any real trouble or challenges.

Well, for one, many of us have 100K+ in student loans with relatively low-paying jobs, which is pretty bleak regardless of how you label it

Absolutely, and I'm a pussy compared to my parents and grandparents.

Now who's fault is that? I'm talking about problems not self inflicted wounds.

Agree with this

You were sold a bill of goods by someone, as it pertains to college.

How much was your cell phone?

Stand by for the blame in 3.....2......1.......

What’s crazy is them doing it with not fat on them , my grandfather looked like he wasn’t much wider than his M1 . I think about that some times when I complain about it being cold outside . I can’t even begin to imagine what it took for them to make it through those times .

So you just use hardship as a ****-measuring contest and anyone with problems less serious than yours is a whining p***y?

Yeah, that’s the attitude I’m not going to have

Meanwhile, if he has to call an electrician , plumber, welder, mechanic, etc. , he can rejoice in the fact that they are probably debt free and out making money.

 

[NashVol11]

Like $400? What is that against 100K?

I’m fortunate to have a job that pays well, but most of my generation isn’t so lucky.

Problems would include, starvation, disease, civil war, oppressive dictatorial government and ext. Poor life choices aren't problems.

lol... come back when you grow up.

It’s all relative, but again, I agree with you that the problems in this country are first-world problems. Boomers aren’t being oppressed either, but they still find reasons to talk ****

Mine is 3 years old and I paid less than $100. I'll bet it does most of the stuff yours does as well. You continue to spend money you don't have. I have been debt free... and out of slavery... since 2003. It took a concerted, focused effort to achieve that, and you can do it too. If you want. Or don't, and stew about how unfair life is.

Stop blaming others for your decisions, and above all don't expect me to pay for your 'education'.

Boomers are not being oppressed by any stretch of the imagination.

These kids today think they’re entitled. For what I have no clue, they haven’t done anything to deserve it.
