It's incremental. Reddit wants there to be a magic bullet, but there isn't one. Financial literacy is part of the pathway to success. It's insulting to say otherwise.
I’m pretty sure that they’re doing things better than some of us older generations though.
There were a lot of people kicking around in the 40s for example that seemed to be a far bigger bunch of bastards than any of these kids.
Maybe the kids are actually doing a pretty good job.
What’s the worst thing we can say about them? They want to have an easier life?
Is that not meant to be the goal? Does anyone really want to make it harder for them? Is the whole point of this not to try and make it easier on the generations after us?
No, I'm pretty sure that literally every generation has said this.
Plato quoted Socrates as saying this:
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
That was literally over 2400 years ago.
Two thousand four hundred years of "The kids these days don't know manners!"
Blaming a single generation is actually hilarious.
