They started out strong in the old economy, but then got left behind when the economy changed.

I, on the other hand, grew up in a perfect window of time to have access to a college degree, and to have access to an inexpensive college degree. While I will give myself some credit for career planning and financial planning, I was born into a great window of time in society compared to my parents' time at the same ages.
Endorsed. My dad had very stable work, low risk. I do better and Y2K, and daddy funded college, catapulted me but it ain't stable for darn sure. Not many of us have stable employment anymore.

I suspect the next generation will be less fortunate. That's why Sanders is their guy right now. They are rabid over him.
