it's almost like there's more people in the world now than ever before, with natural resources slowly running out and things therefore costing more... ah well, I'm sure it'll be much better for the next generation, they'll have the easy life because the generation before them sorted it all out and didn't just complain that it wasn't there fault. phew.

... I remember in highschool, when the 'adults' were deciding what to call us... the front runner was the 'zeros', because 'that's all we'll ever be'. I also remember it being implied that there was nothing left for our generation to do... our grandparents went to war (some fought in two world wars. they were the GREATEST generation) the older-side of the next generation went to space. Then our parents created the internet. meanwhile, millenials are apparently destroying society. except that we've been at war since I was in higschool. That under policies set by the old-generation, we're digressing back into a state of cold war. That the economy is STILL in shambles. that healthcare costs are through the roof, that I can't rely on getting *any* social security checks, while a sixth of my pay check funds god-knows-what special project (because your generation can't keep your hands off it.) Naw. I'm not angry or resentful or bitter. not at all.

I agree the financial situation (when everything is taken into account, as some things are better, some worse) is actually worse now than it has been at times in the past. I don't think it is necessarily that much harder to "make you mark". For starters, many seem to think making your mark has to mean being instagram/youtube/Khardasian-style famous. But that aside, stupid people have somehow always been able to grab attention more easily than the clever and hardworking. Humanity has long seemed to value/worship "celebrities" over those who keep the world moving forward. Take this to an office job level, the marketing guru has always outrated/outearned the admin whizz, even though marketing wouldn't even have a job without whatever admin/accounting are providing. It's up to all of us to make sure we give as much credit/public admiration to the research scientist as the actor.

"It's even more difficult"....than something you didn't experience? We said that about our parents' lived experiences as well. And then we learned.

I call b******t. It was HARDER back then for the simple fact that WE HAD TO WORK FOR EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

I disagree with statement - "people always give attention to stupid people and not the real talented /clever /hardworking people". Clever/hardworking people will find their way no matter what, it would be just matter of time. Stupid people can join the great saga on lower levels, but eventually will be kicked out or neglected in long run. Quality always comes on top of quantity. That's why you buy an Apple Iphone, and not some cheap $100 China made phone. Coz apple gives you quality which is ensured by clever people, not stupid people. (Let's not start talking about other apple things/ethics etc.). Though, its is sad but true that millennial's definitely have to struggle more then there parents due to increase in global population, dwindling resources, industry automations and cheap labor infused by immigrants or developing countries.
