I hear time again how my generation seems to struggle with things like getting on the property ladder, getting a mortgage, still living parents, getting married and having kids later on, etc but I know of some examples in my family and my stepmum's family like I my uncles daughter who is 29 is a solicitor and has a long term partner with her own place and no kids, I have a cousin who got married at 22 in 2006 and been married ever since and no children, my stepmum's daughter and son have two or three children between them, the daughter has been married since 2010 whereas the son isn't and all have their own houses.

The lucky ones have been recipients of products from "Carbonhalo's Juju factory and coin operated laundry".
You too can be on the fun end of universal largesse by simply sending $4 US (or equivalent currency), Your left kidney and your first born girl child to our Bali office in Canggu Dream Village.
This is a limited time offer so act now and we'll send some Iridium plated steak knives.

There have been lucky and unlucky members of all generations in history.

"Lucky" -- in the context presented by the OP -- refers to being prepared for opportunities, being able and willing to exploit those opportunities, and to being born into privilege.  Otherwise, it is nothing more than to occurrence of random events.
