Sorry if I was more caustic than I should've been EE.
Lots of variations from locale to locale.
If you want to introduce specific jobs into it, i.e. teachers, well that might be a different convo.
There is plenty of variation in priorities as to how earnings are spent and long term planning. We raised 4 kids and never bought a boat or a pool but those kids travelled and experienced the cultures of 4 continents before they graduated from high school. 3 of 4 graduated from college and the other one owns a software company.
I was raised w/ the example that kids are job 1 and that quality of life was measured by experiences and not possessions. My grandkids appear to believe that hard work and integrity are worthwhile virtues. Intergenerational conflict should be seen as a challenge, not a threat. There are some in here that are malcontents, and age does not seem to be the determining factor.
