There's a lot of assumptions here. The "our parents screwed us over" is almost exclusively American phenomenon - in a lot of places around the world, current generation is unimaginably more wealthy than their parents ever were.

What we have now was once reserved for the elites, or maybe for people from other, richer countries.
