If you didn't whine then, why are you whining now?
Gen-Xer (barely) here who made it, at the tail end of when people generally still could. I'm thankful every day for the luck I've had. Yes, it's been hard work for many years. Yes, I was incredibly lucky to benefit from the opportunities that were once plentiful but become rarer every year. The generations that came after us have gotten a raw deal. The downturns hit them differently than they hit you and me. They didn't have any kind of safety net built up and they are still recovering as the next wave hits. It's our responsibility to help them so that society as a whole can succeed. It's the greedy choice too, because helping them will help ourselves.
