depends on what subject they're refering to.
I'm 32 so i've seen the years before cell phones / internet .. and after. IT's a different world as far as how easy it is to access and get info, communicate, etc.
Plus advancements and safety and various other things have made huge differences in just the past 20 years.
on the other hadn youre right about current difficulty to get a job, but you can't expect to be millionaire in your 20s. you work your way up.Just trying hard to not be a fat sack-o-chit.

We have better technology, access to information, convenience, etc. and general living standards are much better for us. What you can do as a kid these days is much better than what they could do.

Interest rates were high since real estate was generally alot less expensive back then, the unemployment partly contributed also. Stop being so narrow minded, I'm a realtor and a mortgage broker so I know house housing markets work. Its still alot worse now than it was 30yrs ago. Good luck even getting a mortgage these days unless your ballin or have a dual income. Not to mention you were pretty much guaranteed a job with a degree back then, good luck finding employment even with a masters these days

We are the most fukked generation (birthdate 1985-present)
Difficult to get a good job even with a solid degree (wtf)
Recession
Utterly rampant liberalism, feminism and bullchit trends like "fat positivists"
Social media doing more harm than good imo, everyone staring at their phones and Bishes whoring themselves out for instagram followers
Sloots be slooting at an astronomical rate
Not to mention we will probably experience total societal collapse in our lifetimes, peak oil, possible resource wars.
But at least we have the misc

What babyboomer actually says that? Every one I've ever met has said it's much harder for people nowadays. Anyone with half a fukin brain could tell you that.
Salaries barely increase while EVERYTHING else does, sometimes by a few hundred percent for everyday things? pls tell me how anyone could claim it was easier?

You're a realtor AND a mortgage broker? STFU! That's amazing. not srs.
You ARE A FUKKING MORON if you think that mortgage rates were high because "real estate was less expensive" and "unemployment partly contributed". You obviously didn't pay attention in history class when they taught about a decade called the 70s, the rescession during the early 80s, stagflation, Vocker's term at the Federal Reserve, etc.
Look at Case Shiller:
Notice how we're pretty much at the same level of affordability now as we have been for decades?
Also, while you may have been "guaranteed a job with a degree", there were a lot fewer people with degrees, so on average you weren't actually any worse off. And unemployment was significantly higher.
As to what my age explains, it explains this: 1) I'm not a baby boomer 2) I'm not some cry baby who thinks that because they're a real estate agent and a mortgage broker that they know jack -- try having a career that actually requires a college degree, or perhaps a masters. 3) I hit the family and household formation point at probably the worst time possbile: the height of the housing bubble -- am I whining and blaming another generation? No, because I'm not a little BISH.
