Skeet,
The real enemy is us. We, the boomers, raised our kids in an affluent style, because we were giving a "better life" to our family. The kids understood nothing about what we were doing except getting what they want, and right now. We did not understand the value of want.
We are very affluent compared to our parents on the whole. Our kids will never be as affluent as we are because they have no wants that are unfulfilled and they are and will remain unfulfilled in their life, working every day for the finance company, bank or mortgage lender.
The analogy to this is "You must cry to learn how to laugh."
The more important question here would be how many of you borrow from your parents to make bills and how many of you give money to your kids so they can remain afloat? This is a retorical question.
