It's the difference between comfort and a life of struggle. I don't think the majority of college graduates are thinking "I need to be a big swinging dick on wallst to feel good about myself". More likely they are thinking about how they can simply get a home that can't be arbitrarily taken away, or the seeming impossibility of raising a family on a single income. Stuff our parents had, that just seems so far out of reach as to be unattainable. That is certainly where my financial anxieties lie.
