Will she care in the end? I have no idea.
The two Gen Z grandkids and my nephew all seem to have a bright future.

I never thought of asking my mother for money...we borrowed the down payment for our first house from her....it was written up with terms and going interest she was getting from savings...
I moved in with her and stepdad after college as I was looking for a job in the metro where they lived... I was out in 6 weeks gainfully employed...even though she would have liked me to stay, I had no business there...
my 6 year elder brother was asked by the old man what he was going to do after he graduated HS if he had any plans to attend college...my brother said he was going to take a year off before deciding...the old man told him to pack up and leave....my brother started college that fall...
So in other words the opportunities we had aren't there for Gen Z.Fuelman » 12 May 2025, 9:08 am » wrote: ↑ Or it could be this:
Roughly 50% of American parents with children over 18 provide some form of financial support to their adult children. This financial support is often substantial, with parents contributing an average of $1,474 per month, according to a recent report.
Generational Differences:Gen Z individuals, on average, receive higher amounts of support ($1,813 per month), while millennials receive less ($863 per month), according to Savings.com.
Those numbers are pretty amazing!
as they were for us...

For every one of those useless **** I see wandering out in the wild there's probably 10 in Momma's basement.
You're trying to get people to side with a tattooed, blue man-bun over a corporation?

However, I recall when our generation was just exiting high school, we were labeled as lazy and entitled. We weren't. The millennials were labeled the same thing. They weren't either. I guess it's tradition to give upcoming generations these false adages. I am certain that when it's gen Alpha's time to exit high school, they will get the same reputation.
Shame you cannot figure out where they(equal opportunities) each generation forward went. when 6 levels of governance control the outcome of each of the 5 generations adding one ancestor at time, 7 days a week, 8 seasonal shifts each 52 weeks a year, regardless the years are 365 or 366 days in it.Johnny You » 13 May 2025, 3:10 am » wrote: ↑ So in other words the opportunities we had aren't there for Gen Z.
Humanity spends a lot of time trying to make Humanity useless taxapyers and cell phone accounts with no means to make the payments. The Oligawks are ruining any sense of self purpose and fulfillment.
If Trump dumbs America down any more, Forrest Gump will be the next Jesus. Maybe our National Education Stratefy was useless and wasted money, but now is the time to try and make improvements and not completely abandon it. AI is sprinting at 47,000 mph and we have Gen Z crawling like a Turtle under a short bus.
Sure, let them all become programmers, God forbid a toilet backing up and trying to find someone with enough sense to unclog it.Vegas » 12 May 2025, 9:16 am » wrote: ↑ This ^^^. The fact is that most people are not going to get a decent paying job without a degree. Trade schools are fine, but they will never compare to degrees. They are not going to live off minimum wage while they are going to school. It's impossible. Parents need to help. I don't think that they are lazy at all. They just have more balls than previous generations when it comes to flipping off the status quo. Corporations are ridiculous. They are saying no. Standing up to stupidity is not the same as laziness.

There is no shame that you don't understand that.

Economic Evolution Theory For Greater Good Tomorrows governing chromosome results today sustains what for every ancestor alive not allowed to question hypothetical standards cradle to grave any generation gap forward, this specific rotation of the planet perpetually balancing here before the inception of this species believing it is exceptions and God chose this species to inherit time management over natural living forward so far?
I don't think she has time for dating. Working full time and watching the grandkid so her daughter can work.LowIQTrash » 14 May 2025, 5:48 am » wrote: ↑ None except the very wealthy escapes the next conflagratioN…
Did she “marry up?”
