Topic: Generation Screwed - page 2. (Read 488 times)
For me it's a mixture of fault in the past generation and the now. Our society's problem today developed because of the past problems, continuing with today's problems. The lack of natural resources causes things to be pricier than before. And why do we lack the resources? Because of the changes in the environment: climate change, erosion and even global warming. These changes are the effects of neglecting nature and taking it for granted. But I do believe that there is still hope for us and the future generations. Hope is not lost.
Can't agree with the TS. Millenials really have no boundaries, neither physical, nor mental. The only problem for me is that many of them live so careless and happy and partying that by 25 or 30 they find themselves still not ready to work hard. The best solution for me is your own business, let it be small, but those who seek, definetely fine opportunities to live good in this century getting best of it, just your choice
When things like this happen there is only one entity to blame, the guys running the show. Who else? The government failed this new generation, they will never be able to afford a home. Maybe its by design or maybe its just pure incompetence. Who knows.. we have to live with this and deal with this. I was in the same situation, my parents paid 85,000 for their first house. I paid 350,000. Now new homes where I live start around 800,000.. Times change yet our salaries stay the same. It's the governments fault. You see that failed to govern now we have this situation.
Our generation does not have the same opportunities as the previous generation; it is difficult not to be concerned about the future and angry about the past.
It is normal to see more Millennials living with their parents than with roommates. Marriage, having children and buying a house has to be delayed longer than before; according to the seniors, we are the ones to blame along with other things they say like lazy. No matter where you are, it seems this generation has to try harder to achieve less than any generation before. Rent/mortgage could consume half of the income; jobs are unstable if you can find one and probably you are overqualified for it.
In order to have a decent life, we have to live with DEBT, to study we have to take a student loan and probably many of us won’t be able to retire until we are 75. Salaries have declined and entire sectors have disappeared. At the same time, the cost of living has increased. It is clear that there are not enough opportunities for all of us.
Are we the ones to blame? Is the previous generation to blame? Do we have to adapt our lifestyle? Is the government capable to do something?

Completely , perfectly agreed. Millennials have more difficult lifestyle than past generations . But, today's generations are not the ones the blame. The only people to blame for this horrible situation is capitalist system which has been ruling the whole earth recently. Capitalism makes people have more debt to make their end's meet. Yes, of course, millenials have to adapt their lifestyle for this bloody horrible life.
Well the previous generation, having been able to experience more hardships, probably thought it best to take it easy on the newer generation which can really be a two edged sword. Technology made us lazy. Google, wikipedia, facebook and the internet probably made this generation reliant on technology
I think that the blame is not solely to the previous generation, the parents. I do also believe that the new generation should be held accountable for all of these. The reason why we, the millennials, is different from the older ones is because our world is ever changing. Hence, all of the people are subjected to also change. We cannot choose when and where to change. Yet, we can choose what is that choice of change.
just a big lol... but always it depends where you live
debt :
on the same idea, you can look at ferility, age of the first child, divorce rate etc... very funny in graph...
then the thailandization of the west :

The previous generation is to blame. Why?
If those previous generation continue what their parents are doing, we can say that we in our new generation will be the same as them. Now, they are blaming us, telling us stories about the past on what they are experiencing but the fact that they are not doing it the same means that the result to us will also be different.
We will not be called the new generation if the previous generation did not change us and continue the past generation. We adapted and in time we change, we developed. Yes they are to blame, but they are also the reason of our development.
we do not have to be a slave to the monetary system.. in a village or town, In a rural setting, we can grow our crops organically. and we can live a very happy life..
who would take a step in this?
Definitely millennials should take that step. They should invest in real estate or run a business to gain a financial freedom sadly, the education system did not teach that. Our world general education system teach millennials to be sheep not a creative thinker.who would take a step in this?
In order to have a decent life, we have to live with DEBT, to study we have to take a student loan and probably many of us won’t be able to retire until we are 75.
Some rich people as an example Robert Kiyosaki, use DEBT to get richer. And you do not need to go to school or college to study.they are pushing us to be consumption society.. new model phone, new car, and to work like a slave for a new big house. Those who do not use their minds live like that.. The education system is disgraceful, except for Finland..
Turkey is my country, people are more slaves in going from day to day. where is your country?
I think, that there a lot of errors of governments. Because social politic may be on the low level. If earlier you can get your own house from your job, if you worked for 5 years, for example. But now you should get huge credits, including because of the high price.
There appeared too many private companies, which can't give a lot of good things, which it can give the national company.
Also, money, which country gets from the ground don't go to the common people
Prices are growing, but salaries - now.
I think that's all problems from the money.
Don't enough money - can't buy something really what you need, like a house. Don't have own house - need to rent or live with parents. And think about the future every day

Governments working with bankers and corporations are to blame.
If you are in your 20s in London you are screwed. All the cheap housing has been turned into million pound flats and wages havent increased in 20 years.

I think the reason that we don't have the same opportunities as the last generation or even the generation before is because there are no more opportunities. The world has become too populated that job and pay opportunities are lower and rarer. More and more people are desperate enough to work longer for less. Why do you think we outsource jobs to third world counties? Because labor is cheaper there. Same reason why factories are built in china than in the US. So yeah, don't be surprised that it would harder for a person to live the dream anymore.
It's a big world. In some countries there are still many opportunities to make money and build a great life. If you are a programmer in Eastern Europe, you will live like a king. Maintaining a middle class quality of life for 2 (two!!!) years, you will be able to buy your own apartment with the standard programmer's salary in Kiev, Ukraine. Yeah, the country is poor, but still it might be better than anything that could be achieved in the US or other developed country by some.
Actually I have lived in different countries and it is the same situation, I have friends from all over the world and they have experienced the same and feel the same way, and actually, I do not live in the US.
Yeah, I concentrated on the US to much in my post, but financial crisis was felt all across the World to some extent as US has quite an impact on economy.
Countries that didn't have a lot to do with US suffered less, but this was called a Global financial crisis for a reason, so you are correct.

normal read: some govs still follow this agenda to the letter :
Quote
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
Unite humanity with a living new language.
Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
Balance personal rights with social duties.
Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
easy once it is seen.

seriously??...this is without a doubt, the most coddled generation in history, the incessant whining is a dead giveaway...so you have it harder than the depression generation?...who had debt to the point that millions of people were kicked out into the street....who had to live with ACTUAL hunger....who had to beg for any job...and took it thankfully...I see the millennial generation as the first generation that have become so entangled in the safety net, that they actually believe that there is no hope...and im just talking about one past generation in America....if you have a student loan, then you went to college...that puts you WELL within the top 1% of the world as far as opportunity goes...the vast, overwhelming majority of the world lives on about ONE usd per day...try that
edit: and btw, if you are intelligent enough to blame the educational system or your parents, then you are intelligent enough to go on youtube and within a month watch every video from one university on business, economics, marketing etc...seriously, im not trying to be a dick, but all you need is an idea, a couple dollars and some business sense and you can be the next mark Cuban...oh yeah, and patience too...good luck
Why are the past generation live in a better way than this generation?I think its just the same.Living with debts, no opportunity to go to school, less job vacancy and so on.Its already an old problem since the beginning.Those millenials you are talking that are getting lazy because they had no opportunity to go to school, find some decent job and just relying to parents help is not to be blamed to government its to be blamed by their ownself.They are the one who manage their life and life is really quiet hard to live without working hard to sustain our daily needs.So dont blame the past generation nor the government rather blame our ownself.Waiting for governments help feels like waiting for nothing, so move your ass and do everything to survived.
Move my ass is what I am doing my whole life, and I am trying to survive as you, but that is not what we deserve, we have the right to more opportunities, we are not slaves, we have the responsibility of work, but we have the right to have better opportunities, all of us should have at least a stable job and a clear retirement plan, but that is not the case.

I think past generation and Millennials now are facing scariest financial future maybe it's because everything is unsupervised. There are still people born in any era that lead the change. Don't lose hope, there will still be great things to look forward to.
we have no right to blame ourselves or previous generations, God gives us life in this world is determined by him, so all we have to do now is work hard and smart, see every opportunity that is made land of work, and one more thing we should not blame the government, I am very confident that the government also must try to think of its people, look for opportunities and open employment, but because of the many unemployment then it seems unseen, let my brother rise and fix our lives with a harder effort
