You have created a straw man by extrapolating a 1% situation to all of society. How does that yield a helpful conversation? What I see with my own two eyes is too many young adults who are woefully emotionally unprepared for real life. Why is that? It is because they were coddled all their years and they bought into the lie that when they turned 20something it would be their turn to ride the prosperity train, simply because it was their turn.
I have several 20something year old kids. I supported them going to school and making sure they had opportunity to work, such as by providing a means of transportation. They have taken advantage of that. They have established their financial independence. At the same time I see peers and their adult children are under-employed or even unemployed and living off their parents. You tell me, how do children gain financial independence? It is by having the proper support, not by demanding their parents take care of them!
I have seen this story personally with people I know who are very responsible and the parents do not assist at all, but could. It is just odd this ethos is in the population at all.
