Died at 63, man with responsibilities at 21 = 1/3 ya life
Now You die at 90, become a man with responsibilities at 30 = 1/3 ya life
Time is irrelevant, its just perception. Enjoy ya 20's nikkas
============
If you died at 30 and 30 is all you know, thats a lifetime, if you died at 100, its a lifetime, its personal perception of time.
Get on this inception shyt... good weed did it to me. Break out the Matrix

another problem is that cars and cribs cost less than what people made in a year. for instance say like in the 80's my pops made like 30K a year, but then again, u could get a crib for that amount. shyt was easier. now fast foward to 2012 where a crib might cost 150K and nikkas is making 50k a year. so the house to income ratio is 3:1 where it used to be 1:1.
That gen were
back thenInflation isn't good for the middle to lower classes contrary to what the media and some economists may tell you (esp since these same people are in upper brackets that benefit from the newly created money first). The boomers fed off the wealth given to them by their parents and grandparents and had more purchasing power to purchase those things even when inflation was high in the 70s and early 80s. That shows as you all also stated just how much the standards of living (in real terms) has changed for this new generation.
There are structural problems with the U.S. and global economy that must be addressed and unless they are it won't get better any better and these issues will continue down this path. The bills coming due and its falling on this generation to pay it.
