You raise a good point. I'll summarise: "Kids these days are broke." Get-off-my-lawn joking aside, the purchasing power of younger generations is definitely less than before. As a result, young people go to bars / restaurants / concerts / holidays much less, further reducing their social (and dating) opportunities. I blame global trade which makes a few much richer at the expense of stalled or slightly declining prosperity for the masses.
