5. Disposable income.

This is from Canada and I suspect it is worse here in the US.

Even if young people earn more overall, they still will not have the disposable income levels of other generations.

Our country has found every way possible to squeeze money from our citizens. It's the American Way.

There is no draft right now because so many young people are pushed towards poverty that enlisting is their only opportunity for an affordable education.

We have lost our moral compass and it has become ok to profit from war, charge people usury levels of interest, poison our earth, and so much more.

This is not the America I thought it was when I was young.
