Is my generation lazy and selfish ?

Post Reply New Topic

I seem to think that I'm one of those guilty people of my generation that aspires to be what we want to be right there and then like kid whose been asked what they'd like to be when they grow up. I used to dream that I would own my own zoo but how was that going to happen ? unless I was a multi-billionaire. After I left uni, I wasn't taking really any job that was out there like a mcdonalds job, newsagent, etc. I was looking to get work in places such as bookstores, clothes stores and eventually in 2016, I got the job in one which I am still working in now and I do feel quite happy with that job even though it is still a part time contract. I also remember my mum telling me that they didn't get a fancy house in the eighties, they started off with being in a flat similar to what some people do today and work their up to get that nice house. But it seems as though us 20 and 30 year olds are still living in those nice homes with parents which they got in their 20s and 30s and now that we are of that age, instead of what they did, are choosing to stay at home rather than leave because it feels better than some smaller flat even though I know it gives some people independence but its as though we have to feel guilty about still living at home and that we didn't work as hard as previous generations did even though we maybe working hard as well and paying the rent and the bills.

You can't measure laziness or selfishness

Not everything is as it appears

People are getting physically lazy, as is evidenced by obesity rates.

People aren't getting work hours/financially lazy - people work more, earn less, and everything costs more. We can't afford what our parents could for their efforts. A small apartment costs 4x as much to rent as a proper house cost to buy 40 years ago.

Apples to oranges. We can't be expected to afford the things our parents generation did without being paid the proportionate amount of money required to pay for those things.
