I am unsure what you mean but I take it as you think our kids will not be better off than what our parents left us.
My kids will be better off, though they dont know it.
I feel we did a good job with our kids. Hard workers, they expect nothing for free, always been self sustaining and never had to rely on us. Proud of them and I feel we can take some credit in the way we raised them. We didnt hand them everything on a platter yet we supported their advancement as long as they stuck to a goal. At times it was tough not giving in to peer pressure with what other parents did. Good news is, they see that now, actually saw it a long time ago. The ones they look back at, that got everything are for lack of a better word, many of them lazy without goals. Not all by any means but my kids will always survive because they know to work for a living and not count on others and government programs.
I think they will be surprised what we left for them but they will not be quitting their jobs.
With that said if you are talking about the nation debt we can not talk politics in here but I didnt and down vote for it we seem to be past that point of no return with the way the younger generation votes. It will come crashing down one day. Not sure if I will still be on this earth. Only ray of hope is the rest of the world is in worse shape, maybe.
