But *literally no one does that*.
This is a total Boomer myth. Their parents gave them tons of help (that they never appreciated), they were handed an economy where a lifetime factory worker could own a house and raise kids on a single income (which they then sold to China for cheap consumer goods), and they paid 20% of the taxes we pay today.
>It means don't be a whiny little bitch.
"I have absolutely zero gratitude for all the help given to me by family and friends, so I feel absolutely zero guilt about keeping everything I have and doing nothing to help the next generation, or even maintain the systems that made me wealthy."
Zero. Gratitude.
Also, "worked three jobs"? You were actually able to put yourself throught college on minimum wage, low hour, joke jobs? I didn't make enough to pay off my schooling in a whole year of full time work that required the diploma I just got *and* I worked 30 hours a week during school just to pay rent and groceries.
No generation has ever had it easier than yours.
