Anyone noticed some differences between economic factors during the old times compared to now and how people react to these conditions?
Obviously inflation has made the prices these days a lot more expensive. Maybe this is why the older generation easily got to buy houses and properties. They also had very low to no student debts as well. One thing I noticed is that the older generation are more likely to stay in a work for a lifetime.
But the younger generation tend to go job hopping, switching from one job to the next until they find something perfect for them. The younger generation seems to prioritize a work life balance that is why a lot of them only work from home or work only as freelance.
Are there any characteristics from the older generation you would want the younger ones to learn so they can progress economically?
The situation is different in every country. In my country, we often switch from one job to another because we want to earn a better salary and receive better treatment. I think that the elder generation is less risky and loves comfort but at the same time, I understand this because they depend on themselves, so if they risk, they have too much to lose while the young generation lives mostly for free in their parents house, sometimes they even receive money from their parents, even when they work and earn their salary, so these youngsters can easily risk because they have their back strengthened by their family.
Btw I also notice that the young generation mostly focuses on their looks, clothes and gadgets, while the older generation focuses more on the strength of the family and doesn't prioritise individual needs.
