Most of my friends are doing better than their parents. Now, these are people who studied hard, got professional degrees and worked even harder once in the workforce. The ones who are doing worse than their parents are the ones who picked up addictions, such as alcohol or marijuana, and slacked once joining the workforce. They’re the ones I hear complaining about the government not funding XYZ.

- jmpman 5y agoMy uncle was a drug dealing truck driver. Most of his children (my cousins) followed his path. However, one of his sons decided he was going to make a good life for himself, studied and became a professional.
