Absolutely true.
Personally I’m jealous of the older generations who were able to buy a home, support a household on a single income, “keep up with the Joneses,” afford all the costs that come with large families,etc.
Most of us live paycheck to paycheck, no savings, and plenty of debt, and it’s not from lack of effort. Two of my best friends make over 100k a year and they still struggle with debt (although to be fair one is a compulsive shopper and the other has a shit-ton of student loans to pay off.)
My problem with the older generations is that generally they don’t understand why the younger aren’t living up to their own financial standards. We’re just lazy and don’t want to work, welfare queens, etc. I love my job, and I bust my ass, but I’m still not paid a living wage.
