Same boat. It was terrible graduating in the aftermath of the crisis.

But they economic growth of the 2010s made up for it in a big way.

My parents gave similar stories graduating in the late 1970s.

I remember NPR saying my generation would always be poor. Now we are portrayed as aristocrats, with unearned stock market and real estate wealth.

The next generation has tough trials before them. Maybe, like my generation, my parents generation, and grandparents generation, they will be called to war.

But they will have opportunities as well.
