I've tried to advised younger men and women on this, but I'm met with really well practiced lines from reddit career and money advice, or straight sarcastic replies, likely sourced from the same website. I've helped a ton of my friends stop living paycheck to paycheck (even adults in their 50s); my journey to this was not easy, and I really just needed a mentor. The difference between a young 20s and the older generations is thirst. The older generations have experienced drought and hardship in a way that Gen-Z might not ever experience, leading to a seemingly entitled response to everything. Another commenter said Boomers, Silents, Gen-X, Millennials, etc, "rolled up the ladder behind them" and I think that's accurate; I'm bit a tired of trying to help and being met with insult... so someone I've 'rolled up the ladder', in a way by not offering as much advice.

If your version of "helping" is telling them that they're fine, other generations had it harder, and that they lack 'thirst'... No wonder they respond negatively.

  That would be what is called 'attacking a straw man'

In response to your pre-edit comment: the "good times" are kind of gone already for younger people, thanks to pulling up the ladder. That's why there's so much hate towards older generations, the only generations who apparently intentionally made things worse for those who followed instead of better.
