I see a lot of people condemning the way the new generation lives. You people talk like they just decided to live life this way. Things have changed, and they have to evolve with it.
We can't even talk about what inflation has done to the new generation enough. If you ask a lot of people I their 20s and 3s today, they earn more money than their parents did when they were at that age, but they can't do half the things their parents achieved with that money. This is because inflation has made things so bad.

Things are too expensive and there are too much bills to pay. Two young people can go on a date in a fancy resturant in the old days and not spend that much, these days going to the cinema with a date can take so much from you. We live in different worlds.
Theres is thisgeneral misconception that people of this generation are lazy, I don't agree with that. They just don't want to work hard jobs for small pay. Since the currency has lost so much value, people now want jobs that can pay more money to meet up with their bills.


We cannot compare the lives of the new generation and older generations; however, we should recognise that things are different. While things were less expensive and people had enough money to buy anything they wanted in the past, it is now difficult for people to find well-paying jobs that can cover all of their expenses. Although it may look like the younger generation is not doing well, we will realise that our daily or weekly expenses are different from those of the previous generation. A person from a low-income family will never see somebody in this generation as being lazy because of how hard life has been for them. Not everyone can afford things these days, that is we can never compare the younger generation to the older one.
